Remember when feminism was about equality?

Nope. Sure don't. Because it never was. From the outset it was about controlling men. The first thing women did with the vote was send legislators to DC who supported the Temperance movement and Prohibition, just to control men's drinking of alcohol.

To stave off people with only Wikipedia-level knowledge: women received the vote in about a dozen states before they received the vote on a federal level. This means they were able to vote for the senators and representatives who voted to ratify the Eighteenth Amendment. Prohibition would literally never have come to pass if women had not been given the vote. It was actually a campaign point used against women's suffrage that failed: "Giving women the vote means giving them the right to take away your whiskey!" Thanks, ladies, for the rise of organized crime and the development of the mafia!

Feminism was always about female issue and never about eqaulity.

I wasn't alive in 1980 so no.

I don't, I must not be old enough. If it ever was.
