Thank you for the education about the earlier protections. I agree that the culture was intentionally pushed backwards.

It almost seems like we are witnessing another backwards swing currently.

Thanks for a graceful reply to my comment, which was probably more strongly worded than it needed to be to get the point across.

I think we are currently seeing an attempt to swing things backward, which is why I think it's important to speak up against that.

I think your response was well-worded and appropriate given a comment which argued that we need to look at historical context - after some of that context was already given - then proceeded to give an invalid context.
