We all take the cultural norms of today and then think about what if I went back in time in the 60’s. But the thing is that for generations the norms of the 60’s were set deep in your way of thinking. The biggest change was safe affordable birth control. It allowed people to have kids, if they wanted any at all, to have them on THEIR schedule and not as a random act of nature. That freed up women to have a career because they could then plan their life out.
