We won't be on this earth forever- I had a few mates never even made it to 20. You've got to damn well do what you can when you get the chance.

As for the men being in charge back in those days- geez you guys have been fooled- that's what they wanted us to think!

One can joke, but if you remember the postwar attitudes, and the hot and coldwar Fifties, the onslaught of television and the perfect family, commercials depicting perfect families, Barbie dolls and Tonka toys... it was a seriously male dominated world and a shortage of adult males at that... (due to the war... and somewhat to Korea directly thereafter.)

Opinions didn't begin to turn until the Sixties, Age of Aquarius, and Flower Power. Unfortunately, it's beginning to swing back again, with so many fundamentalist influences (of all religious persuasions) in the world.
