[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 603139, member: 1967"] I agree that we often make the mistake at looking back at the "good old days" by remembering the good things and forgetting the bad things. My parents were members of the greatest generation and were wonderful, giving, and loving people but they were also a product of their times. I don't think either one would support gay marriage and my mom didn't get to go to college even though she was her class valedictorian because "college would be wasted on a girl." Her only expectation in life was to get married and have children. She loved her job as a secretary working in Manhattan during WWII but had to quit after my dad came home from the war and they got married and then got pregnant. I remember her telling me that she prayed that she wouldn't show until late in the pregnancy because once she started showing, she had to quit her job. I have heard 40's and 50's referred to as a great time to live as long as you were a white male. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
