From MY viewpoint....
I know you didn't ask me Nomad but i'm going to still tell you my view since i agree with Aishah....
From MY viewpoint, i only get my panties twirling when someone says something like...
"The 50s were the best era we ever had"
"We don't have manners now like we did in the 50s"
"I wish we could go back and have lives like we did in the 50s"
"June Cleaver was the perfect femme"
On the flip side if someone says...
"I enjoy living my life as June Cleaver"
"I want my partner to be just like June Cleaver"
"I love being a housewife"
I have no problem with that whatsoever. Gosh, why would i even care? To each his/hys/her own.
I don't care how anyone lives their life. The difference is ...we have choices as to how to live our lives in 2012. Thanks to the women before us. The ones that stood up for women and women's rights and minority rights and and and... We didn't in the 1950s
There is a difference here. One that i have been not great, evidently, of conveying.
Not sure i still am. Just don't know how to explain it any better.
