I mean honestly I can't, I was just hedging some. I guess abortion was legalized around the same time in both countries, so that's a push. I don't know what % of senators and reps in the US congress are women today, so I don't know if that's better now that it was in the GDR in the 80s... but I know in the 80s it was much lower in the US than in the GDR.

GDR actually passed gender quotas for mayoral offices because too many women were winning.
