solfatara asked: Thank you for correcting my post. The American Civil war wasn't really centuries ago, although you could say "1.5 Centuries". I've changed it to "More than a century" to be more accurate. However, I don't think you understood the point of my post. It wasn't that people like women were not oppressed in their time, it's that there was a war fought (partially) to end oppression and I find it ironic that now-a-days people act in a way that could be viewed as wanting to be oppressed.

this doesn’t make sense. who’s acting in a way that “could be viewed” as wanting to be oppressed? what does that even mean. what’s your point

also why so eager to round up years since the civil war/abolition?
