Those were the best times ever, anywhere by then. It got still better, but the current progress is very debatable. Two decades after "It's economy, stupid!", a pedestal for (mostly) well established women is more or less a consolation for the progressives, is it not?

Yes, but at least there wasn't an internet. We could get our fake news directly from ABC and that was that. Much simpler.

You mean, the pedestal was ready sooner in the USSR, and blacks were better off in Africa? What does you grandma say?
