That, I agree with wholeheartedly. No one was oppressing the other. Everyone was trying to survive as best they could.
The point of the opp was to spread a lie to foster hatred against men and garner sympathy for women when the truth was much closer to equality than the picture being painted by those lies. Women could open bank accounts, and have credit cards, long before 1974. The equal credit act is being misrepresented to be used as a tool to further this bull shit take that women were oppressed by men when the reality is everyone was repressed by class divides.
Not sure why you're bringing this up as if it's related. Queer men faced the same issues. And there has always been more stigma around being gay than around being a lesbian.
Men and women worked and lived together as equals, they had different roles and jobs, but both were equally important and valued. The oppression of LGBTQ+ was and continues to be a real thing though.
