    are you seriously blaming conservatives for something that the progressives of the time championed?

      The “progressives” of the time were quite conservative, yes.

      Scapegoating a chemical compound for problems caused by toxic gender roles and social ills wasn’t progressive and legislating based on such a colossal misunderstanding of cause and effect rooted in religion, moral panic, and othering is textbook conservatism.
