What about JFK and Marilyn Monroe? Everyone knew they were having a relationship on the side, and no one had a problem with that, and he was the president of the United States at the time, so just because ALL men or even most chose not to do it or never got caught doing it, does not mean it wasn't acceptable practice back then. There were a lot of things that lead me to believe that.
Actually, it was NOT common knowledge back then. Most people didn't realize that JFK was a pill popping womanizer until after his death.
Please, there are plenty of instances of misogyny from the 50s. Even some of the ads. Women were expected to stay home, serve their man and have babies. Women who decided they wanted more than that were considered "hysterical" or some crap. Women, throughout history, have been basically glorified slaves. There is no denying that. They still ARE in some parts of the world, sadly.
Let's stop with the stupid words. Believing that each sex has a distinct role in life is not misogyny. My wife hasn't worked in our time together, she's stayed home and taken care of the kids and the house and a million other things while I served in the military.
Do you imagine that is because I hate her?
I imagine that was a choice she made on her own. Back in the 50s, women didn't have choices. I have nothing against any women who decide that they want to stay home and raise a family. That is wonderful, but it should be a choice.
Of course but now things are just the opposite, my wife has heard "oh you're JUST a housewife" all of our married lives, by other women, how is that any more degrading than a man telling a woman that's all she can do? And for the record, my wife has a Master's Degree in English Lit and could get a teaching position at nearly school she wanted to , if she wanted to.
Yes, and those people would be the jerk extremists from the other side of the aisle. Lol. I just want women to be able to choose for themselves what they want to do with their lives.
