        Except it was effectively true, because banks were allowed to consider marital status as a risk factor. That was made illegal in 1974. It’s in your own article.

          Except it was effectively true,

          Only in the same way it was true that men couldn’t vote in the US until shortly before the Civil War. Because before that most states didn’t have state laws mandating that all free male citizens be allowed to vote.

            You’re still making completely baseless assumptions. I bet there have been people opposed to slavery, xenophobia, racism, ect all throughout history. That’s why it’s important to study history and read old books.
