The hospital wouldn't admit my grandmother who was in labour without her husband there to sign the papers
I was born in 1996 in Texas. There were complications. My mom and I both nearly died. I’m not sure of all the details, since I was a baby. It was medically necessary that my mom have a hysterectomy afterwards. Even so, she needed both my father and her father to sign off on it before they’d go through with the procedure. So, two male relatives had to give consent before she could take care of her own health.
If that isn't love, I don't know what is.
I don't understand your comment
It's sarcasm
You're saying my grandfather didn't love my grandmother?
Under the laws of the state of Texas, yes.
It is sarcasm.
Women were treated as children and men had all the power in a relationship. So yeah, divorce rates were lower because lots of women were trapped.
