EVERYTHING has changed since the 40's.





Back then . . . the men worked . . . the women stayed home





Today . . . BOTH work . . . and then argue about who is going to cook / clean.





Back then . . . men invited the women and ALWAYS paid . ..





Today .. . .that happens in the beginning, but at some point the woman also starts paying.





Aren't you glad that there was an ';Woman's Movement?';





Dan in MiamiDo you think much has changed in relationships between men and women since the 1940's?
During the early 40's men went to war (world war II) and as a consequence women joined the workforce and they got an opportunity to prove that they could do all the jobs that only the guys were supposedly capable of doing. Many women also joined the war effort, but were in administrative posts only.





In the mid-40's when the war was over and the boys began returning the guys found out that women had changed. They had become a lot more independent and bossy too. They no longer stayed home and had good jobs, made their own money and were no longer dependent on the guys. Some guys were angry too, because they could not find jobs.





But some things did not change, guys are still suppose to pay for everything, hold the door open, take the trash out, what the guys earn belongs to both of them and what the woman earns belongs only to her. Basically, guys are treated like slaves. (LOL)
I believe a lot has changed!


Men respected women more in the 1940s.


It's a myth that women didn't work - who worked in the munitions factories during the war?


I have a sneaking suspicion that the only people who benefited from ';women's liberation'; were men!
Yes, because women have more financial stability they have choices %26amp; therefore don't have to ';obey'; men as in the past..... great isn't it?...
Well men respect woman now more than they did in the 1940s. In the 1940s woman were not thought of as highly as they are now.
A lot!


Animosity.


Loneliness.


Fake pleasure.
Ah, women have more power in decisions/the home.
yeah a hell of a lot has changed , thats almost a long forgotten era now. long ago golden past.
Well I would imagine a hell of a lot of them have died in the last 60 years... thats a pretty big change in my book.
