Things you may not know.
The young were the most supportive of the Vietnam war. Nixon easily won the under 30 vote, almost everyone that you think was a hippie figure of the 60s, or 60s musician or band, was not a boomer.
If you look at the destruction of the 60s and early 70s, it was Senators, Presidents, Supreme Court Judges, College Presidents, Mayors, Congressmen the ACLU, NAACP, the founders of NOW (1965), teacher's unions, Generals, Colonels, Governors, Hollywood moguls and studios, 50 and 60 year old TV execs, media and news figures, etc, not 8 year olds and 20 year old kids.
I wish I could find the description of the birth of the feminist movement. It was mostly men running things. Most of the women working for the movement were relegated to roles like making coffee and cooking.
