  1. Every generation vexes the generation before them. This video didn't show that there were women in the Army as auxiliary groups, women who took temporary jobs to support WWII efforts, and were in factory jobs in WWII and displaced instantly by the veterans when they came home. It was devastating to many women who wanted to continue those jobs. I wonder if part of the 1950's was to emphasize that a woman should return to the job of being homemakers and get a husband and raise a family and leave the salaried work for men.

  2. @Garrett Dodds It's too bad masculinity is portrayed as toxic, because there are a lot of talents that men bring to the table. Generally taller and more muscular than women, they can get the stuff off the high shelves at the grocery,and they can spot me if I'm uncertain with my movement or balance. Or also moving large, unwieldy things like furniture down steps or flipping over or turning mattresses. I believe men should be allowed to show their feelings but also work together in projects like DIY. One of my favorite pictures my mom bought was of a man giving his full attention to carving a bowl out of wood, about the size for a casserole or to hold fruit on the table, or toss salad. This man looked gentle, strong, focused, and determined, in every way what I see good men are. Caring. Respectful. Feeling. The men's dynamic is often different from women's dynamic, but each brings unique talents to the family.

  3.  M Z  Kathrine Hepburn also said that they shouldn't live together. They should live next door to each other and visit.

  5. Yes, they could afford a house and a car. And a washing machine and dryer. And a dishwasher. Then, if you finished high school, you could get a good job. If you were male and got a college degree, you could write your own ticket for any job you wanted, especially in science and technology up to the end of the 1960's (they started laying off scientists then). And men had to scramble for a job even if they had a master's degree. I think in the 1960's children — teens — saw the 1950's way of life didn't work anymore, so if they were to end up overworked with little time for their families in the 1950's, the hippy movement would be the one to explore what the '50's generation did not have the opportunity to explore. Back to Nature. Experimenting with music. (Remember the Beatles — the most innovative band— set much of the standard for music, along with Don Kirschner, "The Man with the Golden Ear" who found groups that would set the trend for music.) And of course drug experimentation. Among a lot of other things include the Space Race and soon - off technology.
