People didn't call blacks names anymore, at least not to their faces. Italians weren't wops or dagos, and there were no more kikes, Japs, chinks, or spics in polite conversation. Everybody had a group to protest and stick up for them. But women were still being called names by men. Why? Where was our group? It's not fair.
In "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe," the narrative highlights the evolution of societal language and attitudes toward various ethnic groups. While derogatory terms for many identities have largely vanished from polite discourse, women continue to face name-calling and disrespect from men. This disparity raises questions about the lack of support and protection for women's dignity compared to other marginalized groups who have rallied for their rights.
