I witnessed the rise of modern feminism (then called women’s liberation).
Men were hissed at on screen in theaters for displaying masculinity or pride. I heard this even at an Errol Flynn movie at a university campus. They were booed on shows like Dick Cavett.
I later on heard women say “I would have gone to the class reunion but I stayed at home to raise our kids and they all had careers and jobs so I felt embarrassed.” So
worthless, being a loving and caring mother and wife.
One key line I remembered from my ongoing reading of women’s viewpoint magazines in the 1970s (Ms, et al) a woman complaining “So I said to myself what am I doing here changing my baby’s diapers when I should be devoting myself to my career?”
And
“A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.”
Decades later people wonder why there is a population decline of native born citizens. And women who bemoan “Maybe I should have given some of those guys a break. They weren’t so bad. Now I’m never married and nearing 50.”
Don't blame it all on the women.
