For those who were actually old enough to have experienced the 1970s and not for those who were born in the 70s. What were the pros and cons of that era?

The war in Vietnam cast an ugly shadow on everything political, even years after South Vietnam fell (1975).

Conservatives were often polite. The group they expressed the most hatred toward were Russians. Former President Ford, a Republican, eventually became a friend of the liberal Jimmy Carter.

Times have changed.

Its year 2041, and president Hunter Biden has ordered every republican who sweared at him to be arrested and shot. I am on my way to the death row listening to the cheer of the Liberal mob chanting death death death. How can I escape?

Now in 2025, MAGA people dislike a polyglot (multi-language) America and look back to the past as the era when America used to be Great. They want to be led by an elderly guy who misremembers that era.

America stands unique in the world: the only country not founded on race but on a way, an ideal. Not in spite of but because of our polyglot background, we have had all the strength in the world. That is the American way.

Sex outside of marriage was still controversial, along with any other sexual irregularity. I recall hearing about the Maine legislature trying to pass a reform that would legalize some of the things my wife and I did. And I remember a woman telling me about how unhappy her father was when he learned that she was living with her boyfriend. Unmarried women weren’t supposed to get pregnant. Gays could be jailed!

Why does my narcissistic ex told me that he f*cked and sleep with other woman and then at the end says that it also happened because of me?

My wife stayed at home for years, taking care of the children. That was still common then. I can remember people asking what’s the point of spending money on a daughter's education, since they would just marry and quit work, like my wife did.

I remember voting for a moderate Republican representative when I lived in Western Massachusetts. Can’t do that now. President Nixon, a Republican, signed Civil Rights acts and established the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Republicans are opposing the EPA now.

The 70s were a time for mild summers and cold winters for me. I lived in upstate New York and New England.

Why are white men so obsessed with Asian women? I'm friends with people from all different backgrounds but I never see my other non-white male friends obsess over or talk about Asian women like I've seen the white ones do.

When people learned that President Richard Nixon had broken the law, he was forced to resign. Can you imagine that happening now in 2025?

Times haven’t changed. Anti-feminism is still alive today.

The biggest differences between then and now concern sex, marriage, feminism.

Why do we still feel attached or jealous when a covert narcissist moves on, even after realizing their toxicity and the suffering they caused?

Times have changed.

Nowadays, it isn’t remarkable for my daughter to be an attorney or my wife to become a university professor. The Equal Rights amendment became less necessary after courts realized that the words persons and citizens in the US constitution must include women.

Politics was almost rational back then.

I’ve a dismissive avoidant partner who said that he’s overwhelmed by our relationship and that he wants to break up, how do I get him back?

There was also anti-feminist backlash. I remember people making fun of bra-burners, though hardly any woman did that. Some people said things I can’t repeat here.

Inflation was a problem throughout that era. Everyone was concerned about it but no one could control it. It was much worse than anything since.

In the 1970s, Americans thought of their nation as the Greatest Nation on Earth.

Why do certain religions consider menstruating women to be impure? Where did the concept of impurity stem from?

Times have changed.

People from other nations disagreed but we were wealthy, powerful, and were advancing everything from science to entertainment. This quote, from the 1980s, applies equally to the 70s.

People had begun talking about feminism and the proposed Equal Rights amendment to the US Constitution.

A few brave women were breaking barriers. Sandra Day O'Connor, broke barriers in the legal profession. This picture shows swearing-in ceremonies at the Arizona Supreme Court.

I married at the age of 22. Early marriage was common back then. People also had more children.
