[bit of feminist rant]
well i have heard of the The May Act it forbids unmarried men and woman from sharing a hotel room, and it also makes it illegal for a woman to cross a state line in a car, when accompanied only by an man (that she is not not married or related to)...
The May Act like many laws, make the problem, the womans, (i.e., she could be arrested and prosicuted, and he would be let go. just as now days, still, prostitutes are arrested, but their 'customers' are almost never 1) arrested, or 2) prosicuted. )
Notice that waitresses where rounded up...
a classic sort of thing.. like the suggestion that woman walking out alone at night are likely to either be prostitutes or raped, and so they should be curfewed...
(and a feminist countered, "why not curfew the men?")
and in these round-ups of woman, surprize, surprize they always failed to arrest the 50 year old fat ones, and only rounded up slender woman, especial young ones, who didn't know their rights, and were easily intimidated.. then they arrested them, often forced them to "change" in to prison garb, and be given physical exams, all with no privatcy. (in otherwords, it was cops and sheriffs getting their jollies, and pretending to enforce the law)
and since the woman most often effected where poor, (and poor woman have frequently been a target for abuse) they got away with it for a while.
