I just learned that the law where women are permitted to deny their husbands sex was passed in the 90s and I am sick to my stomach. I simply would not have gotten married.

it just wasn’t something people thought about, pretty sure women weren’t allowed to have their own bank account/credit card without a man until the 80s

It was the 70s for the bank account but the sex this really threw me for a loop. People are SA’d by their partners all the time and to live in a world where that was LEGAL?! Unfathomable to me. Women really have to fight for every damn thing.

like just because you’re married doesn’t mean consent ceases to exist
