Reply #132: I wonder now, do you think a black women in the 60's would have the same

experience as a white woman if they went into the same store at the same time? Or would the experience of the black women be closer to what a black man experienced?

I don't remember the US about to enter into a sex war when women got the pill and throw off their bras back in the 60s. However, I do remember the fear in our town about the racial violence spreading to our town. Between Nam and the riots, we thought the US was going to pieces. Our town actually had police stationed at the outskirts to turn back any black groups trying to enter. And we were only a small town in OK and didn't experience anywhere close to the problems in other parts of the country.

Woman are not anywhere close to being a monolithic group which has a shared experiences which could come anywhere close to the shared experience of being a Black, Latino, or Asian person. The same case as with men. After all, the men in prisons don't form as one group, they form along racial lines for protection from other racial groups. Gang affiliation is secondary. Did you know the KKK, and other race based groups, have enough membership in the military that it causes problems. They had the same problems back in the 70s and 80s when I served and it is still going on.
