OK
JFK, Cuban Missile Crisis, the Stonewall Rebellion, National Organization for Women, Bay of Pigs.
Having come of age during the 60s, I can assure you not much good came out of that decade.
Neither did you say WHAT year, you became an "adult" and yes, that matters! If it was 1960, rather than say '68, that's a big difference.
OTOH...if you want to talk about crazy lefty "feminism"...that goes back to the 1950s...as does the first outbreak of nationally talked about homosexuality...a la THE KINSEY REPORT.
