.......”There was no one incident or event - or if there was, it was like the flapping of a butterfly’s wings (q.v. “The Butterfly Effect”).......”

Current events were triggered by an explosion of “me too” after revelations of sexual excesses by Harvey Weinstein. THAT is what I’m looking for in the 1970’s, something similar that triggered that which occurred that our society suffers today. I’m looking for linkage.

Thanks you for your response. I appreciate the input.

That is not a trigger - that is merely the first conspicuous result of a "sea-change" which had already taken place but not yet openly manifested itself. That's why I say that your attempt is vain.

The causus Harvey Weinstein triggered nothing, marked nothing. Rather, the time was ripe - due to innumerable previous little pin-pricks.

Regards,
