And to be clear, about the core of these comments, form aside. I do not fully agree with the explanations given, while I recognise the reasonning as sound. I am just pretty sure there were and still are additional contributing factors, especially when not focusing on the USA. I do agree with thu counter examples. (Again, not with how these were given.)

If counter examples to highlight flaws in blanket statements are an attack to a person's credibility then idk what to tell you.

I'm just saying that it isn't as single facet as the screen shot tries to make it. It is/was a product of a full cultural shift and it wasn't as arbitrary as that makes it out to be.

I don't think trying to provide a more nuanced explanation qualifies as a blanket statement...

My comment had an important follow up, posted only 7 minutes later, that makes your response to me quite silly.

But even if I ignore my follow-up comment, beacause you maybe didn't even notice its existence... If you don't know how to read a three-sentences message without ignoring the first two-and-a-half, I don't know what to tell you.
