A FReeper posted recently a study that showed women are more miserable now after women’s lib than before.
Men are more irresponsible since sex, marriage, and divorce are so easy these days.
Each proceeding generation seems to stay more childish for longer periods of time resulting in adults acting like a bunch of idiotic, unmotivated, visionless children only concerned about themselves. Now it is to the point where the children aren’t leaving mommy and daddy (or daddy and daddy or mommy and mommy) and staying home instead of starting their own lives and living independently.
Some things the Baby Boomers were okay but other things such as the 1960s counter-culture, free love, STDs, moral relativism, and such have thrown our society into such chaos I’m not sure how long it is going to recover from that social FUBAR.
The 1960s was a creation of the "silent generation", born 1925 to 1945. Think the Beatles, the Doors, Jane Fonda, the Chicago Seven, William Ayers, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, etc.
