(1,721 posts)If you see fascist nations, even outside of Nazi Germany and Mussolini Italy, the "traditional family" is a part of the movement, which of course means taking away womens rights. In Franco Spain, women were forced back into the home, women lost all their rights, married women were effectively in the custody of their husbands, and even had to seek permission just to work, own property, and to travel, and who's main purpose in life was to born and raise children.
And yes, this is essentially Handmaids Tale.
This is why supporting the people who are in the front lines of this political war is important to everyone else, if not because one cares much about rights of other groups, at the very least because otherwise it's only a matter of time before you end up in the front lines.
