      All the more reason to just be accurate and say “banks were still allowed to deny opening accounts for a woman” rather than say “women couldn’t hold bank accounts until 1974,” which just isn’t true. The truth is still plenty bad, we don’t need to pull a Vance card.

      Everyone from lemme.ee converses in bad faith because Bronzebeard makes hasty generalizations, just like the OP.

      Thanks for the teaching opportunity.

        The person I was responding to was just as unnuanced just in the opposite direction ofOP.

          You’re not making sense anymore. If you explain to me how you’ve made a hasty generalization then I’ll continue to engage. If not that’s also OK.

          You underestimate “people”. Better to overestimate them and invest into those that rise to the occasion.
