Capitalism has allowed women to avoid many obstacles to prosperity and created far more equality than there’s ever been.
In ancient Greece Plato could be found advocating women’s rights, arguing that women possess “natural capacities” for governing equal to men. During the enlightenment, people like Mary Wollstonecraft vigorously argued for greater gender equality. In the second half of the 19th century, the first feminist movement was born, focusing and soon after achieving the goal of women suffrage. In the 1960s, feminism was mixed with the growing anti-war and civil rights movements and focused on sexuality and reproductive rights. The feminist movement of the 21st century rose against sexual abuse and sexual harassment, especially in the workplace. In the age of social media, its culminating moment was the #metoo movement. And yet, following World War II, three events surrounding innovation and the freedom of the market economy did more for women’s liberation than any queen or any feminist movement has ever done.
1. The Introduction of the Washing Machine
2. The Creation of the Pill
3. The Rise of the Service Economy
These 4 underlying sociological problems, not guns, are the key drivers of American violence.
1. Suicide is the Central Problem of American Gun Violence
2. Partner and Familial Violence Are a Huge Part of the Problem
3. The War on Drugs Can't Be Overlooked
4. Guns Don’t Beget Violence, Poverty and Despair Do

A New York Times report published Saturday said Donald Trump’s reelection campaign used scammy online tactics to draw millions of dollars from unwitting supporters to buoy itself, particularly as Election Day drew near last September and October. ... Unlike other campaigns in history, both Democratic and Republican, the Trump campaign chose to make recurring donations the default option for online donors, forcing supporters to read all the fine print and manually uncheck a box to opt out.
