Great Grandma was a "Flapper" way back in the roaring 20's?
My great GM was too busy moving out of Germany between WWI and WWII with my 12 yo mother in tow...

Well, now I know why my Catholic family from Budapest left there and came through Ellis Island. No longer Catholic, but still follow Jesus.
This is why I quit watching “Lost Girl” and “Stargate universe” on Scy Fy network. If a homosexual relationship is essential to moving a story along or some weird sex sure great include it. But the gratuitous, just to have it in there, I am gone.

In the neighborhood I can think of twenty who killed themselves before they were fifty. The Sixties were great right.
I had a Black woman who worked for me tell me that she took her kids to the Cemetery every year and showed them all of the people she grew up with that killed themselves on drugs, the Sixties were great right.
This mentality began to change in the 1920s as more women began to desire not only successful careers of their own but also families. The "new" woman was less invested in social service than the Progressive generations, and in tune with the capitalistic spirit of the era, she was eager to compete and to find personal fulfillment."

dear albion,
Yes, I was, and thanks for the ccorrection.
dear verga,
margaret sanger was before my time, and i did not even hear her name mentioned, until the ‘80’s.
Just a little amplification from one who lived through it....
dear reg45,
yes, Gurley was the name meant, and the hurley girl was not on my list of ‘favorites’, since i was advised by my father, to never mess with skin and bone chicks, because they were for naught, on cold Connecticut winters!
I was in high scool during the peace and love ‘60’s, so anything before that, was overshadowed by the constant nuclear threats of the Sino-Soviet Communists.
dear zivana,
d’at’s da one, yup. d’at’s her, d’at’s da dame, fer sure!

hang on a sec... the MAJORITY are addicted to porn? ... I have doubts on that one...
Don't know how old you are, but from my perspective having grown up in the 50s, many of the images we see on our TV during prime time would have absolutely been considered soft porn and not allowed to be broadcast at any time before 1970. Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, most of the backup rap dancers on mainstream shows, specials on after 9:00 pm like the Victoria's Secret runway show, ads for Cialis and tampons that certainly put imagery in mind, on and on. Billboards, Internet, magazines in the grocery rack, all full of smut. And that's just the soft porn.
I did not say mass media and culture did not throw out a lot of porn.
I was questioning whether the majority is addicted to it
What an insightful article -- thanks for the link, a fool in paradise.

Which was helped along by the Supreme Court of the United States, giving the stamp of approval to distribute artificial birth control: Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965).
What? Me read poetry?
Until people utterly abandon any media containing smutty imagery, we can pretty much cop to being addicted to it. I might change a channel, but I still pay for the cable package a given show is embedded in. I’m really starting to be aware of desensitization lately.
