Thank "Women's Liberation" for that line of thinking and divorce rates near 60% and higher on second marriages. They want their cake and eat it too. Can't build anything with that line of reasoning.

Yeah, keep those wenches barefoot in the winter & pregnant in the summer. They'll learn their place soon enough & to keep their mouths shut when you order them around. Attention! Now police the house & get my chow on the table! Post-haste!

To answer the original question...
RB & Gnome have probably responded best:
"Would you rather live NOW or 50 years ago. about the only people I can see wanting to live 50 years ago are a select group of white males. yes, some things are worse. some are better. some are the same and it is just our perception that has changed "
"On the whole we are more progressive, open-minded and inclusive now than we were in 1960; yet I'll bet we were more polite, more community-minded but less tolerant. Mixed bag."
