Were things better in the 50s

I know I am probably going to get severely attacked for this. Aside from the human rights violation Black people should have never been treated the way they were .

Do you think it was better when families were a priority and mothers were at home ? When kids could play safely outside until the street lights came on? When they could play Cowboys and Indians and ride their bikes, practically anywhere.? When people actually stood for the national anthem with their hand over their heart ? Law-enforcement was respected.? And going to church on Sunday was a priority?

No. The 50's were only better for a select few.
Basically, if you were white, straight, Christian, and male.
Some women were trapped in abusive relationships with no financial freedom, or reproductive rights.

@chrisCA And some more happy being wives and mothers and didn’t consider an abortion

@chrisCA Thing is, people like @missyann actually yearn for the days when women were trapped in abusive relationships with no reproductive rights and no right to get a job. It's like a fetish for them.

Update: Would somebody PLEASE tell me next time my phone substitutes a word like "yearns" with "urines"?

Please?

@LordShadowfire I don’t “ yearn “ for abusive anything. You talk like all women were abused and suffocated by intolerant men..

With all of the “ progressive “ women’s rights “, why is there still spousal and child abuse ? Why are there so many women on public assistance if they are allowed to have jobs? As far as reproductive rights, women have the right to NOT become pregnant

I don’t “ yearn “ for abusive anything.

You certainly yearn for the days when women couldn't fight back.

You talk like all women were abused and suffocated by intolerant men..

I absolutely never said that.

With all of the “ progressive “ women’s rights “, why is there still spousal and child abuse ?

I know, right? And why are there house fires when there's a fire department? And why do people still die when there are hospitals? 🙄

I've got a meeting with a tenant who needs his contract renewed before the first so that we can continue to enjoy tax-exempt status on the houses he's renting from us, or I'd be more than happy to focus my attention on destroying your bullshit. Have a great day! 😀👍

@LordShadowfire You too doll !!!

@LordShadowfire I did correct “ urines “without attacking . I have been attacked for misspelling and told if I couldn’t spell it have no business on SW. it is easy to do when you use the microphone. It’s ok, I knew what you meant

@missyann Thanks for understanding. I'm starting to think when we're not arguing with each other, we could probably get along pretty well, lol.

@LordShadowfire Absolutely. People can disagree respectfully.😊
