Nah rape was a reality.
It's always been a reality. Awiddershit was trying to claim there was no punishment in western society for rape and that's just not true.
So was racism and poverty. I don't see your point.
1st wave feminism exacerbated racism and poverty because it was mostly rich white women leading the movement. Their ticket to freedom (a prestigious, high paying job) came at the expense of poor, dark skinned women who had to take care of their children for them and do all the chores.
I challenge you to find a 1st wave feminist fighting for the right to work in a coal mine or Carnegie Steel Mill.
