perfectly spot on with your post. in the 80's and early 90's we were making so much progress and our peer groups were right beside us. we truly saw ourselves much more of equals than what i see today. men talk about and to women in a manner that would never have been acceptable a couple decades ago. if men called a woman a slut... all the peer group i was with would shame the guy.

mid 90's it started shifting. early 2000's we started walking backwards.

good post defacto. thank you
