80s or 90s. fuck all you morons who think living in the 50s or whatever would be 'cool'. if you were a woman you'd be stuck taking care of the kids and being a 'model wife' or you'd be homeless, and if you were a man you simultaneously needed a 'respectable' fulltime job and could get drafted into the war at any moment.

lol this. my grandmother got married at 17 and then spent the next fifty years raising six kids for a husband who didn't really give a shit. that's your average life in the 40s/50s if you're a woman.

nice job but not every wife stayed at home being a model housewife during "the 50s or whatever." a pretty fair amount of people were too poor to live off the husband's income like my grandparents - both of them had to work, and my grandmother's salary was actually what paid the majority of expenses. this idea that women have only just gotten out of the house, and only just started working in the last thirty or forty years is nauseating and untrue, particularly in poor and rural areas. i am sure it was really difficult to care about being the "model housewife" as a sharecropper in the fields - or does that count as work to you? but, you know, thanks for using norman rockwell paintings as your template here.

depends. my grandma was allowed to travel and generally have fun with her life before she fell in love and got married at 21. my grandparents both loved to travel so he'd take 6 months off work every other year so they could mosey off into the sunset

the rest of the time my grandma played professional bridge and wrote stories for magazines

You know, some of us wouldn't mind being stay at home mothers. I rather dislike that in being given the choice to be able to work it's become pretty much a necessity in most families for both parents to work at least full time, if not need multiple jobs so we have a generation of kids raised by everything but their parents thanks to this.

Though I'd be all for the ability for either the mother or father to be the stay at home parent.

you might want to be a stay at home mother

but do you want to be forced to be a stay at home mother

Both of my grandmothers had jobs, and I know many acquaintances whose mothers and grandmothers went to college/university. Not all women in the 50's were housewives.

The black people though... they had it the worst.
