I will say this about the South, it is a bit more agrarian and younger women and older men are a thing. In the mid-80s when I was 18 I had a college job selling books and Bibles door-to-door over the summer in the Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee. One time I was making my pitch to a pleasant family in a nice house. I didn't make the sale but, as I was leaving, the mother asked me if I would be willing to take their daughter out on a date because she liked me. She was pretty and about 5' 8" or so but looked a bit young. I asked how old she was and when I heard 14 I had to decline. 17 might have been OK because that would like be at most 18 months difference in age. Last week I ate a can of chili last week that was past the expiration date that long.
The South is a slightly different culture and while the Left will screech like banshees to defend a Muslim rapist with claims about his culture being equal to theirs; they ridicule and berate the South. It is a true “Heads I win, tails you lose!” kind of mentality that I am truly sick of.
And what makes it even more despicable is that the left will circle the wagons around any rapist pedophile predator who gives them money or offers them any advantage. I'm talking about you Bill and Hillary Clinton.
The 60's thru the 80's was the sexual revolution and certainly challenged traditional codes of behavior related to sexuality and interpersonal relationships..... public nudity, pornography, premarital sex, homosexuality, and alternative forms of sexuality, and the legalization of abortion all were a part of it. .....also brought gonorrhea incidences , births out of wedlock, and 'births to teenagers' which began to rise dramatically.
The 70's were dead center of it all when experimentation was the heaviest....the 'freedom of sexual expression'.... Porn such as "Deep Throat" achieved major box office success....By the mid-1970s and through the 1980s, newly won sexual freedoms were being exploited by 'big businesses' looking to capitalize on an increasingly 'permissive society', with the advent of public and hardcore pornography....the concept of "free love" was world wide.... and "no-fault" unilateral divorce became legal and easier to obtain in many countries during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
At the same time a great decline in religious observance began sliding into the ditch..... values such as the biblical notion of "be fruitful and multiply" were cast aside as people continued to feel alienated from the past and 'adopted the lifestyles of 'progressive' modernizing cultures.
Equally the feminist thinkers urged women 'to initiate' sexual advances, enjoy sex and 'experiment' with new forms of sexuality.
Beginning in San Francisco in the mid-1960s, a new culture of "free love" emerged, with thousands of young people becoming "hippies", inspired by Indian culture, who preached the power of love and the beauty of sex as part of ordinary life. This is part of a counterculture that continues to exist. By the 1970s, it was socially acceptable for colleges to permit co-ed housing.
Free love continued in different forms throughout the 1970s and into the early 1980s, but its more assertive manifestations ended abruptly (or at least disappeared from public view) in the mid-1980s when the public first became aware of AIDS, a deadly sexually-transmitted disease.
p> Interesting the prevalence of 'teenage pregnancy' in developed nations such as the US Canada and the UK increased and did not see a decline until about the 1990s.
