I feel like there’s two “25 years ago”s and one of them is the year 2000 where we had like computers and the internet and email and shit and the other one “25 years ago” is a mixture of 1978 and somewhere around 1800
Marriages used to "work" because women were property and financially controlled by their husbands; they couldn't even get a bank account without their husband's permission. Intimate Partner Violence was an expected way of managing conflict, and even joked about in popular media.

This is true, but more 60 years ago than 25. Even by the mid-70s things had changed (thank you 2nd wave feminism).
