My team and I concluded, after almost a year of research, that the 1960s rebellions would not have happened were it not for the upbringing white middle-class kids experienced in suburbia and the segregation black kids of the same age experienced largely in the South.

Honestly I wish my school had had a home economics class. My mom never taught me any domestic skills, not even the most basic sewing, and barely any cooking. She knew how to do these things and yet never taught me. They're helpful skills for anybody, you never know when you'll need them.
Yes...we in the 50's and 60's were indeed blessed. God knows my career mother never taught me home economics...We had to eat TV dinners! I envied friends whose mom's were staying at home moms. 😢
That’s how moms nowadays are , they don’t actually teach their kids anything .
The schools need to put Home Economics classes back in schools.
My mother is a housewife but I’ve chosen to go to trade school and become a welder. I may want to be a working woman but growing up watching my mom bend over backwards to make sure our family was well fed and living in a clean house has made me have immense respect for women who stay home
My mom was born in 1952, and her family was poor and often lived in houses without electricity and running water. My grandma often cooked on wood burning stoves and used washboards to do laundry. The women who had electric stoves, washers, and dryers were very lucky. With that being said, I'm glad that we women have so many more options open to us now.
Born at the end of 59 ( no the kids of those women with all those new toys were lucky. Lol )

I was born in 1955; and my Mom was a RN. She and my Dad were both born in 1925. They grew up next door to each other after my Dad was in WW2. He had a heart attack shortly after I was be born.
My Mom was the breadwinner in my family and gave me the advice to always have a plan B. Thank you,

Look I’m not disrespecting housewives, if you guys want to do it that’s fine but I think it should have always been optional. I don’t want to be a housewife I want to be a musician and if that doesn’t work a beautician. Personally I don’t want any kids but I don’t hate them. I don’t want anyone to take it like I hate children., It’s just I don’t want any. But I like watching these educational films to see how far we’ve come and let me say quite a lot in society. And still growing.
@@piglice4585 no, I just think that myself I’m not fit to be a mother or a housewife. My mother well obviously she was a mother but she was not a housewife she was a worker, and she was good at what she did. My dad was the house husband. Because he didn’t want to work. I think it should be optional like it is now. I think it should have always been. But back then they didn’t know any better.
@@piglice4585 No I know I’m not saying never, I just want to focus on my career first. Then maybe one day maybe I would like to have a daughter. Trust me I have considered it. Right now I’m 23 and I have plenty of time to decide. But obviously of course I would like to focus on getting a career started and then maybe find out where I’m going to live and then maybe have kids
@@piglice4585 thanks. I will and I just subscribe.

How would that possibly disrespect housewives?💀
Nursing is a real profession
No it isn't.
Nurses can be trained with a short amount of training and are replaceable. If it can't be learned in less than a year its a profession.
Some of the specialties are a profession though, like nurse anesthesiologist, nurse practitioner. The key is how much training is required and are wages increasing/above average. Those two factors determine if its a profession or not.
My grandmother was a nurse! From what she's told me, it's a difficult and extremely tiring job. I highly respect nurses.
It is, but it isn't in the sense that nurses don't get the compensation and status that doctors, lawyers, and engineers derive from their professions. NPs are beginning to enjoy those things these days.
When I was in sixth grade (2009) our middle school forced all the female students to take home economics for one hour a day every day. The boys didn't have to, they just spent that hour goofing off outside playing basketball. We had to learn how to sew, cook, clean, take care of children, etc. This went on for two and a half weeks before someone's mom found out and asked why the boys didn't have to do it which caused an uproar and the school was forced to include them but the boys also caused an uproar at being forced to learn how to cook and clean up after themselves so they shut the whole thing down and we never had to do it again.
Oh wow
And thus the beginning of the end of civilization...
I would have rather learned that than math
Excellent. So the woke mother succeeded in making sure the girls can't run a household. Who needs to run a household when you're destined to live alone and die lonely. Great job mom!
@@nikmills it's better to die alone than to be disrespected
I think women should be able to go into any field they believe is for them. But we shouldn't look down on being a house wife or home maker. Who wouldn't love to come home to a beautiful clean home. Folded clean laundry, the smell of a delicious meal cooking and a cake baking. Being a house wife is lovely.
Men and women choosing to have different roles can create a balance in the household. So not too much work is put on the woman or the man it evens out nicely. Remember choosing a different role does not mean unequal.
The sun in the sky plays a different role then the water on earth... Does this mean one of these roles is less then the other? No! Both the sun and water is vital for life to be sustained here on earth. Just like men and women play different roles but both important for life to be fulfilled! This is what makes us equal we are both needed for life.❤️
Too bad most women do not get what you simply and eloquently laid out.
A man working outside the home works his 8-10 hours comes home, relaxes and benefits from his wife's work getting up to make his breakfast and get him off to work, cooking, cleaning, caring for kids, caring for him for a lot more than 8-10 hours a day with now days off or vacation and all she gets is what, permission to buy a new outfit, Mothers Day. Figure out how many hours a woman works in the home and tell me it is the equivalent.
I grew up in the era before womens lib. I was told I couldn't learn the new computers it was for boys, I could only take Home Ec and secretary training.
Well said...i hate feminism...another propaganda for depopulation...
@@Americansikkunt The anti feminist don't realize how unhappy a woman is that her horizons are limited if she is a mother. Talk to a housewife who has been left divorced, widowed, abandoned after 15-20 years and has no job skills because she depended on a man for all her sustenance. The way the employment market is what ever she learned in school is outdated and makes her unemployable.
Women only hate their careers because society tells them they are less of a woman if they don't have kids.
If you Incels want a woman who will stay home and worship you, hook up with a beta female not the ones you work yourself into a frenzy for.
@@Americansikkunt No I am talking about the women who would love to have husbands and families that most men don't even look at . I know I was one. I got lucky and found a man who didn't mind that I wasn't pretty and that I worked. Our daughter is grown now with a life of her own depending on no one but herself waiting for a man who will accept her for who she is and not what society expects her to be.
I know Incels hate women, but I was hoping you were better than that.
Anyone noticed how the 50's were filled with videos like these on how women can improve their success with men. Now it is the opposite. RUclips is filled with content about how men can improve their success with women.
I think the beauty of today's society is that women are able to choose which role the would like to portrait. There are women like me who find satisfaction in the traditional women role and there's no need for shaming, the same way they shouldn't have shame women for wanting to work back in those days. It's about accepting that everyone's contribution is different and valuable.
Exactly!
@Sunshine these days you have the most unhappy women in history

Nothing wrong with being a housewife or mother. Just remember that not all women want that.
All women are hardwired to desire that until the TV beats it out of them.
You'll realize this, i just hope it won't be too late when you do
And not all women are wife material and/or mother material.
@@Vid7872 I agree with this
@Vid7872 obvious troll. Do better kid
It’s not the “belief that women could only find fulfillment as housewives and mothers”. That is a subversive twist. That’s the kind of talk that has destroyed birth rates, the institution of marriage, and intersexual relations. The idea was rather that people have things to learn from their parents, who learned from their parents, and so on. The 1960s introduced the idea of looking at your parents with contempt, like old fuddy-duddies. Now kids basically don’t know anything at all. They’re raised by the internet.
Prior to the 60s, everyone had basically always done what their parents did. And women understood that naturally a family system worked best if the man went out and got a job and the wife stayed home. We can’t afford to do that now though because subversive messaging like that in this video here helped push women into the workforce, which drove down wages, destroyed male spaces, and ruined intersexual dynamics in the west. A woman who knows how to cook and clean and is a soft place to land after a hard day at work is as beautiful a thing to a man as a man who is in control of his emotions and knows how to work with his hands is to a woman.
As a female I’m ready to get out of the workforce and be a stay at home wife and mother.
It’s not all it’s cracked up to be
@@LittleMissV yes it is
That's my dream
@Anna crystal no, a female means a woman, why are you getting so damn offended over saying female smh grow up.
But you've been "liberated" from that! Now you can work until you die and cook ramen with your cats. Isn't it so much better to not be "oppressed"?
“You can’t get a man with your brains” is insulting, sexist, and beyond dispicable
That is exactly how she felt.
David Hoffman filmmaker
It's 100% true. Nothing sexist about it or insulting. Most men don't want a brainiac,they want a lady, not a women. Some one who is nurturing, loving and definitely not a narcist tyrant
Jeez the sexism is rampant in this comment section
The libtardation is even more rampant.
@@erics9754 oof
@@mal_3157 I think you meant goof lmao. Are you a white knight or a virgin.
It's all the 30 year old men, living with their moms, pissed off that women don't have to do what they say anymore.
What’s even funnier is that it’s worse in the comment section than in the video itself.
Nothing more fulfilling than being here all day for my children. Homeschooling and cooking and doing chores together. No career better than that. Kids need their mom at home with them more than ever in this day and age to love them, educate them and influence.
You are right Ruby....
How are you doing?
Hey ruby do you have any actual evidence supporting ur claim that being a stay at home mom is more beneficial to ur kids or did you pull that claim out of your fucking ass? Glad ur happy and all but theres no proof or reason to believe kids NEED their moms with them at home. And i assume they don't need the dad home right? Traditionalists istg
The important thing is that it was a choice for you, not an expectation or obligation.
You're completely right. The problem is people who are unfulfilled in life and have never had a family think they know better.
@@gratefulguy4130 some people just don’t want a to really be in a family. For some it’s not about being married it’s about being happy
Well,I'm from a 3rd world country and we still have the degree and the subject dealing with homemaking,we call it home science, many girls take it and now they even allow boys to but they mostly go because their girlfriends take the subject and of course they want to be together(almost all of them are either in a committed relationship or they aren't in a relationship at all), I personally never took it but now that I'm in the final year of highschool I realise the big mistake I've made,all those years I could've learned so many skills instead I chose music and art which I will be of no use to me.

Imagine how a black lady felt since there’s sexism and racism for them dam
I'm a black lady watching this, i love the 50's style but hate the ignorance of the 50's. My family told me stories about growing up back then they treated them like absolute trash.
@Doomer668 Yes my family lived in the deep south, they had country accents and all. It wasn't the best place to be for them. :(
There still is.
One lady mentioned 4 career choices. Teacher, nurse, stewardess, secretary. Black women would be steered towards teaching if she were very smart, or otherwise some kind of domestic work. And a black nurse or secretary would be steered to a black clinic or business. It would be very unlikely that any airline would hire a black woman to be a stewardess. During the Jim Crow era, a black teacher was paid less than white teachers, even if she had more education. And a black teacher in the South would not be allowed to teach white children.
They felt pride and strenght within there community
What I like about living in modern times is that we as women get a choice. I like wearing red lipstick. I like looking nice. I like reading and writing romance stories, I like going to dance and feeling fun and feminine. I also like going to my engineering class, I like climbing trees and swimming and hiking and watching Marvel movies. I’m planning on going to college. I may or may not get married. I probably won’t have children of my own, but I might adopt. I’ll admit that trying to plan out my future education and career can be stressful, but I enjoy being able to have a variety of options!
The thing is, they used to steer women into servile, support staff jobs, with no path to move forward.
Anything with real authority and responsibility would involve having to interact with men - as peers.
Nope - not allowed. You could be a clerk, not a postmaster. Be a secretary - never Have one. Teach and mind children, never manage adults in a dept. If in the sciences, always overseen by a male. 'womens work' was looked down upon by men. They expected to be served, rewarded, and acclaimed for every and anything. Then they 'might' remember to buy 'the little lady' a hat, vacuum, apron or broom. Maybe take her out to eat, so she could have a night off.
Women needed to have a co-signer to get a credit card or loan or apt. Usually from a father or husband. They would be asked a lot of personal questions, and if she was 'allowed' to work - no need to promote her as she will quit soon enough to have kids. Women were considered the 'weaker' sex in All ways, not just physically. They were talked down to if they 'got out of line', but treated well if they played the role of acting helpless, childlike, emotional and confused. It was expected that men could make sexual innuendos. Women were not supposed to be out after dark. Or alone.
If something happened, it would be her fault. 'she was asking for it.'
So after being perfectly capable of keeping the country running during two wars and a depression, women refused to be treated like 2nd class citizens. Maybe they would like to try shop class, upholstery, drive somewhere, research, explore and have opinions that mattered!
Maybe they would like to have a choice. Come home after meaningful labor, and standing with co-workers, and look forward to dinner and the dishes are done!
So the social revolution of the 1960s really had post-war undercurrents in the 1950s.
People could finally talk about what they really cared about or questioned.
Instead of being told not to ask 'certain questions.'
Never question Authority.
Nothing will ever be perfect, but there is so much more freedom of expression and choice and ways to strike a harmonious balance.
People can be real and try to be their best self.
The 'good old days' had quaint moments, but we are the people for our times!
Im 73,I lived those times,and you described them perfectly. Eyes and ears were closed to domestic abuse,it was a personal thing in the home,police were not encouraged to get involved,quite the opposite in fact.
Exactly, that's what it was all about. You need to ignore all this to say the bs many people are saying here about how idyllic it was back then.
amazing insight and very true
It's hard to comment on this. My wife sacrificed so much to raise our kids, I can't praise her enough for doing what she did for them. How can you say that making your kids a priority was a bad decision?
They dont even teach home economics anymore which they should.
People can google anything, you can take masterclasses with world renown chefs for $15 a month. Howver in my experience this current generation running on about 20 years now is too stupid and lazy to use Google to learn anything.
Furreal I tried to sew some pants and killed both my cats on accident..kids these days got it cut out for them..
Narrator: "that women could find fulfillment ONLY as housewives..." Narrator is injecting her own biased opinion. The video is only showing how mothers demonstrated or showed tasks that daughter's would benefit from knowing and not that it was the ONLY thing they could or should know.
where is your evidence that american society allowed other options for women careerwise at that time? Were you alive at that time to remember how it was? Have you talked to women who grew up in that time period so they can educate you first hand? Being a cynic doesn't change history as it actually happened. There were real restrictions on women's choices and the video was one example of the culture of the time and the expectations and limitations for women at the time. If you are that edcuated about the era you would know that films like these were used to educate the masses at the time. Since that film doesn't say specifically women arent allowed to be CEOs and list every occupation that was off limits, you believe it women had the choice to have those jobs?? It simply wasn't allowed.
Narrator didn't write the script, and in any case, she wasn't wrong.
@@mirzaahmed6589 If she says, "only." She would be wrong.
what is the name of this movie please?
This looks like a TV special, not a movie
It's not a movie.
75, RN, stopped working at 72. Had Home Ec, learned to cook & clean growing up. Did not meet my husband til 36. Independent. Always worked, cleaned, cooked, invested. Was always use to making decisions on own. Husband was a successful businessman who admired my work ethic, financial skills & independence. I could go to work, solve business issue on way home and cook. Never felt suppressed. Alone now, my domestic & financial skills serve me well. Careful with money & investments. Have nice real estate holdings I run myself. You can do both, both domestically & financially.
Oh FFS. My mom graduated HS in 55 and went on to be a professor. Oppression is most by the person in the mirror.
There's nothing wrong with a homemaker as a matter of fact I think a homemaker Works longer hours than a person employed at an office, warehouse, etc.
A homemakers job is longer than a 40 Hour Work Week.
👑
That still don't mean the idea should be forced upon women. Men can to be homemakers. The idea of a homemaker, and consensually wanting to be one isn't the bad thing. The bad thing is that it is only associated with women, which is disgusted. But men and women could be a homemaker, and that what we must heavily emply
@@silverseen8300
I didn't once reference a homemaker as being a woman in my comment.
I have a brother-in-law who is just that... a homemaker he takes care of The Henhouse.
And they don't mind; it bothers others more than it does them.
Their relationship is not my business.
I was a homemaker for a short time and it's hard work.
Thank you for your message! Have a great day🌺
If roles were reversed and I had a good wife who took care of me and all I had to do was take care of the house and kids I would take it. I have taken so much shit over the years working 70 plus hours a week at time, dealing with office politics, finding and changing careers, massive amounts of stress. Yeah, absolutely. Yes, I would take that deal.
I wish they taught home economics and sewing when I was in school. I wish there were men inspiring to put me in a two story home with a white picked fence, and I certainly wish I was not expected to work. No hatred on you professional women.
I just feel like we were caught up in a 80/20 situation and a decision was made for me before I was born. And even if I was born staying at home and talking care of my family will not be an option to me because I am black.
So white women you definitely in my opinion gave up 80 to chance after 20 on a collective level.
They reallly did. Feminism was never for black women. We always had to work and come home and do all the household stuff and NEVER complained about it. When white women fought to do the same that we did basically, that's when divorces started happening bc they were still expected to do all the household stuff while going to work and weren't used to that much labor and they barely did the household stuff as it is, esp. if they were able to hire black women as maids.
I loved being housewife. Not sure what happened with millennials and Gen Z that they hate their houses and children but I loved it
I think that the lack of choice was the issue and not being a housewife. Nowadays, it is going in an opposite direction, people are starting to treat being a housewife as something shameful.
We have progressed so much since the 50s. Back then sexism, racism, homophobia and elitism were the normal. They are all still with us but they are at least mostly seen as bad. Of course just because we've made progress doesn't mean society couldn't regess back to the old ways.
MyOther Soul Yeah? And yet, racism, sexism is still prevalent. Social justice protests are all about choosing people for jobs on the basis of their skin colour or gender to have artificial balance in certain areas deemed “too white” or “too male”. More people, now then ever, suffer from depression and the suicide rates are surging. The 1950s weren’t perfect, but the idea of social cohesion, modesty and a sense of purpose was much stronger back then.
We have regressed. Sorry you have been indoctrinated.
@Capitalism Humans have improved not only in technology but in ethics. Take slavery for example, five centuries ago not only was it the norm it was seens as right. It's still around today but at least it's looked down on by the vast majority of people. Going from the divine right of kings to human rights is an advance. Maybe not enough to keep us from stupidly destroying ourselves but at least making progress. Or we were, there's no guarantee it will continue. There are elections soon.
@Capitalism Technology agree mankind has not also agree. If I could go back I would make do with the tech of the day given all I would gain.
That was the good times
As a grown up person now with family I believe is very important for anyone man or woman to early develop organization skills of cooking, housekeeping , time managing, planning .
Since most of the reality in the regular today families are that both parents go to work, plus it would be a great help for those single parents as well.
Mann and women will never be equal biologically, but complementary.
...What was with the being in hair & makeup 24/7? That was insane
It was expected for women to be fully dressed up and smiling even if they were sick or their best friend had just died because “a man needs a pretty woman to look at at all times”
Think about it, 2 people a man and a woman decide to be a team, to do their part to keep their family alive and advance in the world. Without a husband a woman would do everything herself, not only would she work 8, 10 hours a day, not including lunch break and commuting, but she still has to cook her own breakfast, lunch and dinner, she still has to wash her clothes and clean her place of living, alone. You see that? A woman no matter what ends up doing her gender role, cook, wash, clean, only in this case she has to rush because she also has to hold a job, one where she is tired to do goes of house work, but also has to compete with the men who aren't so tired, and if she does things slower, her employer has every right to fire her when he needs to. Women will do their gender role, no matter what. Most men dont care about this cry baby crap like gender roles and all the whining things feminist come up with, men only care about what they know to be true, I need to live and survive as best as i can, and if or when a man gets married it then becomes we need to live and survive as best as we can, how do we do that? Well we need money coming in so we can buy food, clothes, shelter and other supplies, ok so one of us has to get a job and keep it, btw sorry for womansplaining reality to other women who sounds like they cant think, either one of us or both of us has to get a job, so who likes getting yelled at? Working themselves to literal death, always moving and lifting heavy things, sweating having zero time for my own thoughts, my own safety, my own fun? Really women who work either love working because they constantly think of how empowered I must be to have a job, how much it must inspire little girls who have never seen them at work, how many nice expensive things I can by for me, or these women hate a job that forces them to stay in one spot and do one thing, secretary is a high paying job where all have to do is sit for 8 hours, answer calls and greet and inform those who come in, for the rest of the 7hours and 30 minutes you can make personal calls, do art, take an early to a longer lunch break, while the men will not get that luxury. Real women hate their job, anyone who has ever had a job hates their job and hates working. Everyone rather wake up whenever they feel like it, eat and do whatever they want all day, watch tv, go out and have money to spend, spend on clothes and food, and just relax spend time with family and friends, there is a job like that, it's called the one who takes care of the house, the house carer, no that doesn't sound right, it's called the house wife. But ok let's do a test, for now on, women buy men drinks at the bar, women buy men dinner, women treat men out to events and fun activities, women buy the rings and propose marriage, women pay for the wedding, women buys the house and all the things in it, women hold down the job and the men stay home, women's gender role should have always been working to make the family money, and men's role should have been to stay home, take his wife's earnings and spend it on clothes he wants for the family, food he feels they want to eat, set the washing machine and the dish washing machine and vacuum a little while watching a new movie on tv, or go to the cinema with other men, get the groceries and cook.
I say this all not to be critical, but to help other women realize that not only have billions of men through the generations built everything we have, need and enjoy today, but directly to each of us, we need men to want to be our partners, our team members, life is hard enough to depend on just us, if we can depend on someone else, a man, our lives will be much easier. We need to be careful about what we think and say when it comes to men, we need to show them respect not just because they gave us all that we have but because they are people too. If enough of us show them a lack of respect, they will leave us and they will have every right to. They will have every right to treat us like garbage because we treated them like that. We wouldn't have the right to expect any man to help us if they saw us begging on the streets, after losing our home from losing our job. Most men want to be a team player, women need to be team players too.
Wow you give me hope for womankind. This is how my wife feels and she is a very smart lady with a high paying job. We both work as a team and always consider each others opinions and needs before we make life changing decisions.
That’s a very one sided view on that, I know husbands who go to work come home, eat and go out with their friends. They enjoy the weekends and spend way more money on themselves than their housewives. But the mother work from Monday to Sunday, and some housewives can be very busy working, going to bed knowing that tomorrow will be a day without break and so will it continue. Your right about the part that the work will be better done separately, one goes to work one stays at home, and it can be even the woman who goes to work when she earns more and has a higher education it will make more sense that she goes to work and the husband stays at home, regardless the one who makes the money and controls it is in charge and when you’re unlucky your significant other can turn your life into hell if they know you can’t go anywhere because you have nothing.
When she started singing that song 😂 they really pulled out all the stops to get less people applying to their college lmao
Is Susan Douglas at 1:10 the voice of Talky Tina from Twilight Zone? 😂
Women didn't get treated right and were forced to be house wives and didn't have many options but they were allowed to vote and did get payed a decent amount men were seen as better and smarter than women were and their husbands didn't treat them great but they still loved them but it's nowhere as sexist as Iraq India they make them wear burkas and they aren't allowed to vote or do much their just seen as property and objects that they own than human beings and people men just walk all over them a wife dying to them is like breaking a object it's sad but you can buy a new one its awful and discussing I'm not racist I'm just saying the truth
Women can vote in India, and islam is a minority here with most people wanting to put a ban on burkhas
Hey David, I can tell, not being sarcastic, that you are an intelligent person. I am sure that you agree people are allowed their own opinions. My opinion and several opinions both female and male are that the 1950s and 1960's were a fabulous time. You make some great films that I enjoy, keep up the good work!
Yes, fulfillment as a family, a mother but not in the service to men but the self. There were other avenues, this is one of many.
The good old days!
I see a lot of comments about how us women now have choice. True. However with todays current economics. It’s difficult for family’s to afford to live on just one wage. I’d love to be a stay at home mum but it’s just not feasible. But the days I am home an evenings I do get to be with my children I do my best. Theses days in a world, with what seems to be full of choice, reality and bills say otherwise.
Hell, I'd love to be a stay at home housewife!!!
Be careful what you wish for...
Same fam
😂😂😂
Knock yourself out! Be a stay at home husband and then tell us what you think after some months.
Being a stay at home housewife at that time meant if ypur husband was an alcoholic, a cheater, an abuser, domineering or controlling as a woman you had to put up with it no matter what because you had no income of your own. You couldn't simply leave the situation. You were stuck because there were no options for work, women had to depend on men to take care of them which is why girls had to get married right out of high school. Many women and children were in unhappy situations with abusive husbands/fathers but they were at that man's mercy because of the economic situation. Sure there were/are good men but there were/are also many who could take advantage of the situation or simply weren't cut out to be dads or husbands. And there are men today who don't want women to have any options that way they aren't forced to be better men, knowing that a woman with options doesn't have to put up with that treatment.
The aesthetic of the 50's has always appealed to me, and I do enjoy cooking and sewing, but I'm happy to live in a time where that's my choice rather than something society demands of me.
1950s--> raise girls to be like mom. 2022--> raise children to be who they want to be according to their abilities. b. try to be like the 1950s but much crueler and force values on children and isolate them from general population. The problem isn't the lifestyle/values of the 50s per se. They were reacting to almost 4 decades of constant turmoil (WWI, the excesses of the 20s, the Depression, and WWII). They wanted boring and stability. They and their parents lived through so much drama, they just wanted their children to have it easy. Remember that mother's grandmother could have been someone who settled the western states on a buggy (last part 1880s-1900s) and women and men was very much egalitarian. Women and men hunted equally and both farmed. By the time their children go to war and work in factories, it make sense why they just want to simplify things.
It’s great women have the option to work and not the obligation like us
So true. And the children of those who broke free had hell to pay
Who said women had to do that??? Whoever said that can stuff it.
I don't need to do all of these and I am a married woman. I love our times ❤️❤️❤️

JEEZ we need MORE of this these days! SANDS the song ...of course! Gotta have balance David ....yea?
Balance is for news journalists, Theresa -- not documentary filmmakers like me. I tell stories that are based on truth. All of the truth? All sides presented? No. I don't see the trauma in that and good documentary stories must also be dramatic in my view as a filmmaker.
David Hoffman
David ~ l didn't mean for you the filmmaker David. When l said ''more of this these days'' l felt that our _culture_ has dismissed the need for women to ....just be women. Today, it's almost an anathema to want to do the things these women are doing. As far documenting the truth, l agree with you. History shows us how we've gotten to where we are now. lt would be REALLY interesting to see a documentary about todays culture! l think it would be every bit as interesting as the 60's (l never thought that possible!). Hopefully YOU can do it! xD
@@theresa42213 There is a naive nostalgic notion that in the past culture allowed women to be just be women. But the truth is in the past women were strongly encouraged to just be what the culture thought women should be. Thankfully we are getting over that and allowing women to ... just be like the human. they want to be.
@@myothersoul1953 I couldn't agree more.
As a woman working in tech, I can share instances where I was the only female candidate interviewed for a job position within a team of male colleagues. Despite being qualified, I was not selected for the role due to the bro culture that had been established within the team.
Unfortunately that’s the case with many male dominated fields. I took a mechanics class in high school and I was the only girl in there. The guys would even steal wrenches from me and take over my projects. When I would speak up to defend myself they would act like I was the bad guy. I did have one friend in that class and he was wonderful
Not really, it's not that. The problem is most men are now afraid of hiring women that sooner or later will surely accuse them of all sorts of imaginary things or play the perpetual victim. I would also advise you to really check if your skills were really up to the challenge.
As if men were loyal to their gender... Welcome to reality. The men's world is competitive, ruthless and many times men block one another and we don't get hired even if we're qualified. You really have no clue about the men's world.
The sad thing is some of them weren’t upset that they had not much purpose , cause that was the norm 🤷♀️

Now men want the housewife and career woman.
So?? Someone has to work
No they don't. Real men don't care about your career. When I say "real man," I'm talking about high income men who are average or good looking and have options. A real man has enough money not to care about how much money you make. He cares about your age, beauty and a few secondary things like how much you complain, are you crazy, are you high maintenance (some guys like it/ others hate it), and your libido (how often you want it/ most like more but there are a few exceptions). Career women and Career men don't make good matches because they are both busy all the time.
I think humans who aren't shallow want a deep emotional bond with a person or people
Romantic or platonic
People just don't want to be alone all the time
My uncle married to a housewife, and he is very happy with her compared his Ex-wife who so immature.
@@Aaron_R My father was a real man and did not have a high income and worked his ass off and went without many things to give us a roof over our head and food. I guarantee he would wipe the floor with these overprivileged rich guys. I do not judge people by income some of the classiest most generous and intelligent people I have meet were low to middle income. I used to think like you when I was a young punk. Becoming rich has more to do what family you were born into who you know and a lot of help and luck. Hard work and intelligence is a just part of the equation. Do not let money be your God it will let you down.
I work because I have dreams. Not something to prove. Men have nothing I want. But I would NEVER work at the expense of my Family.

Yes those things are attractive to men and its hard wired in us.

Liberals created feminism destroyed western values religion everything that promoted the traditional family unit what good has this brought us. Only chaos depression suicides and corruption crime single mothers and welfare lol.
Can you afford to easily be the sole provider for the whole family, be able to repair most things around the house (or have enough extra money to hire someone to do it everytime) and physically defend your woman against brutes if needed?
Only men who can be 1950s type husbands deserve 1950s type wives.

Then get a job, make some money, satisfy your wife, and stop watching anime. Easy way to get a woman like that.

Society was good and the 60s messed up. Period
As I'm sure you know, back then, society was good for some and not for others. And even among those who it was good for, when I interviewed them later, few actually thought that it was as easy as the media showed on TV.

Please say sike right now
Feminism was still a thing.
Shut up
Feminism had existed for generations at this point.
Now women have a choice. The right choice would be to have a man taking care of you, while you also work and save it all. So that if you decide to leave, you have the financial freedom to leave immediately.
Well, only if you enjoy working... Why would you decide to leave? Back in the 50s women practically owned their neighborhood and were really smart. They knew how to keep a husband and a family together. They administered their husband's pay check and the house finances. They were subtle, elegant, clean, modest, restrained, feminine, moderated and exquisite. Have you taken a look at what people call "women" today? Loud, masculine, clown-like, unfaithful, woke, entitled and vulgar. They have copied only the vices of men...
Actually, these women commenting on the video are lying to us. Women could be doctors women could be lawyers. Women could do whatever they wanted now it was highly looked upon for a woman to be a homemaker. Now how times have flipped. Women are just terrible to each other.

You can also be a team when the man wants to stay at home and the woman works.
And splitting the work at home and splitting the work to make money even requires more "teamplay" as you do both together, not seperated.
It's about how you and your partner want to do it, not about what gender you were born in.

Wow these were much better times. I love how happy the women were back then and how great they were at doing home courses that is something we really need back in our society and also for our children!
If they were happy, most likely is was because of social conditioning.
If they weren't happy, they had to pretend.
We need to stop looking at the past unrealistically. Look at the good and bad.
they were not happy
How do you know if they where happy? because they where smiling?
I read a UK article on people who said their mothers weren’t happy being housewives during that time and that to say anything against it made them feel guilty because as another person said they were socially conditioned.
Women seem to have been happier then. The modern woman is so miserable. We sure have gone backwards. Maybe the next generation will learn.

@@spaceace9103 If you look at true history, you will see that women were far happier in the 1950's than today! Women were far more stable individuals than the blue haired tattooed ,body peirced pill popping gender confused women we have today!
@@wperkins225 Actually, the 50's-60's saw a boom in antidepressant medications. They only appeared happy because women (and everyone, really) were expected to control/bottle up their emotions because they were very family oriented and wanted to make the "perfect" living environment for their children at the sake of their own mental health, encouraging their children to never express their emotions, leading to a nearly endless cycle of emotional tumorial. They were never told that it was okay to let out their emotions and so they rebelled and instead of moderating it like everyone else before them, they just amped it up because being denied of something just makes them want it more. That created "hippies" and, not to be rude because I'm not a very emotional person, very emotional people. Yes, emotions are good in moderation, as they can get things done, but if they are rampant, that can lead to negative effects in other aspects of society. That was the exact thing "The Greatest Generation" was trying to prevent. I could talk forever about the so called, "blue haired tattooed ,body pierced pill popping gender confused women we have today!" but I could talk even longer about your punctuation.
I appreciate your thoughts on the subject but if you compare women of today to women back then it's a no brainier!! There is no way these disfunctional women today are happier! There is a political agenda being driven that life was so terrible in the past that we should never go back to the old values of the past. I believe most anything we are told today the opposite is true. I am a Bible believing man and scripture will tell you,in the end times truth is out and deception is in. God bless

The human race is carrying a lot of baggage!
This kind of reminds me of the 80s show Growing Pains, the character Carol Seaver had this toxic family, the most toxic and abusive being her older brother who is Mike Seaver (played by Kirk Camaron). Mike always called Carol ugly and a nerd, he always, always had something awful to say to her. An issue the show had with the character Carol Seaver is that she was very smart.
I'm not 100% sure about this but the actress who played Carol Seaver developed an eating disorder because she, through her character was called ugly all the time.
The TV parents, the Seavers, let the abuse go on, then several years later I guess when the ratings weren't as high I guess, they added another sibling, who is just as abusive to Carol as the rest of the family, Chrissy Seaver.
Totally wrong take on that show.
