Did I say “equal numbers?” You argue like my progressive/liberal brother.
YOU said “Women relegated to serve as secretaries or teachers.”
I responded “There were no female doctors or scientists? What is the color of the sky on your planet?”
In spite of your revisionist history, women could go to college if they wanted. However, most women WANTED to be homemakers. Unfortunately in today's "Brave New World" a lot of women regret never having children. Ain't it a lot better?
The modern benefits we enjoy are due to the freedoms we had back then. Do you see our liberal controlled school system producing a Jonas Salk or a Thomas Edison?
You talk like your generation was the only one that has lived, defended the country, or had a good childhood.
You watch too much TV. Most people in this country have it just as good, if not better than America in the fifties. I’f it were still the fifties, you most likely would have died by now. I am not suggesting that would be good—just stating that life has gotten better in the last sixty years in so many ways. Focusing on what you see on the news is narrowing your view by way too much.
