Minor debunk: the GDR wasn’t communist, they used an economy system called “Realsozialismus” or “Real Socialism”. Also sex wasn’t better because of the economy system, it was because of emancipation, which was in many parts better than today in eastern Germany.
Women in the GDR were by law equal to men. They had full autonomy (at least as full as it gets in a dictatorship), meanwhile in West Germany, husbands still could decide over their wives jobs until the 68 movement. The employment rate of women in the GDR was 90% in 1990, nowadays it’s 75%. The GDR allowed abortion within 12 weeks of pregnancy, this was abolished at reunification but Germany legalized abortion with the same timeframe in 1995. Kindergarten was free in Eastern Germany, the only payments were for meals. This was also abolished at reunification but still hasn’t been reintroduced.

Still a rare GDR W.
Wait, what do you mean by emancipation specifically? In what metric has Eastern Germany gone backwards since then?
