Perspective.
I double-checked, and this is 100% accurate for the US. In 1988, Ronald Reagan signed the Women's Business Ownership Act, which required banks in every state to allow women to apply for business loans by themselves.
I know progress feels slow, and it is, but this just wasn't that long ago. I'm an elder millennial, and my mom talks about not being able to apply for credit, etc. without my dad in the early 70s.

Yep! I couldn’t get a car loan with the bank even though I was in the military.
