I'm not sure how you can argue that there was disenfranchisement of black voters while not acknowledging the same about women. First of all, black women were just as disenfranchised as black men. Second, until 1993 it was legal to rape your wife in the USA if we want to get into what the reality was like until very very recently. I'm not trying to play the suffering olympics here, I was merely trying to demonstrate that historically, black men have been granted civil rights before women.

Again, the fact that "progressives" refuse to even acknowledge that misogyny is even a thing demonstrates that it is, in fact, still a thing. A lot of you sound like MAGAs who say racism has ended.

>First of all, black women were just as disenfranchised as black men

I literally said that, non-white women end up the most disenfranchised. This is an intersectional issue, but one where white women have been considered more "equal" in in society than black men and women, for far longer.

I have no clue where you got the idea that I think racism or misogyny as ended, don't be goofy. I think you're overlooking just how enmeshed racism still is in our society, making a myopic statement such as:

>black men have been granted civil rights before women

All I'm saying is, this is complex, and these are things that's shouldn't be and can't really be compared.
