Several Governments limited civil and individuals rights such as freedom of press and speech.
The US specifically created internment
camps for Japanese and Japanese descent citizens and subjected them to detention and seizure of property without due process.
It is also against war morality principles to bomb civilians as it happened with the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I would argue that the primary difference was the introduction of nuclear weapons after WWII--meaning that the spread of communism could actually take over the world as opposed to just causing unrest in the US.
When feminist groups in the 1960s and 1970s pushed for Congress to propose the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), conservatives such as Phyllis Schlafly opposed it as something that would harm women rather than help them, that would infringe on their rights and freedoms rather than grant them greater freedom. The ERA stated that "equality of rights under the law shall not be abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." A key point Schlafly focused on was that this would force women to be subject to military draft and military combat service in the same way as men. This became the key issue regarding the defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment. House of Representatives gave its approval to the ERA in 1970; the Senate did so in 1972. But the amendment failed to achieve ratification by the states, due to the influence of the movement led by Schlafly.
he would have disagreed he was very strict
