Sounds hella fun right?
But let's look at this from a different standpoint. Not a point of religion or society, but how about morals? Let's look at how the morals of todays society are skewed by the 60's. How acceptable is it to see a half clothed woman in music videos? How often do college guys talk about their weekend escapades? Is this because of the 60's and the sexual revolution and the birth of the pill? (hahaha i know great pun right?) what do you think Elizabeth Cady Stanton would think if she could see society now. It's my belief that from 1845 up until... hell I'll say 1959 women were taking huge strides. However, now when you look at it, some men still look at women as objects, as play toys and cooks. It's honestly of my belief that this entire regression is due to the "sexual revolution" of the 60's. Yeah I know that womens lib was making a heyday in the 60's and 70's but honestly, I think that was just an attempt to get back to the way it was. Have we gone through another regression since then? from 1979 until 2010 have we regressed back to the times when men still thought "Oh crap my dog can talk?" Elizabeth Cady Stanton was an extremely intelligent woman, she believed in formulating thoughts and beliefs and getting them down on paper, not burning bras. Was 1845 a different time? Yes. Will her beliefs still apply now? I believe yes as well.
