......”Things went seriously sideways in 1963”.....
Oh my gosh yes! As a woman I never felt so out of place among women as I did then. I didn’t fit among the flower children, and free sex and drugs era....everything good about woman was pushed aside for the “war cry’ then and I wouldn’t have any part in it....in fact stood my ground often much to ‘their’ surprise.

Although I was still perhaps in my formative years, I do recall making an early conscious decision in favor of equal rights for women in general (although if i had had the intellect to think through all of the implications in detail, i probably would not have come to such a conclusion in such a glib fashion).
However, when I wrote my response, I was thinking most specifically of the JFK assassination. At the time I had some difficulty pinning all the blame on a single person who as events unfolded never received a jury trial. I put the entire controversy on a personal hold, until I finally had an opportunity to watch the Oliver Stone movie. Then I started reading about the assassination in detail. My eventual conclusion was that our federal government has been lying to its constituents since that time, and has yet to stop lying to its constituents, up through today. Hence, “sideways.”
