A question you should ask your wife.

Of course most of our wives are happier than they were 'X' number of years past.

And that status has absolutely NOTHING to do with politics or any politician or any government program or permissive changes to America or any specific religion or gender preference.

Most of us did it through hard work and providing for our families.

We were not distracted by all the political, race, permissive BS of the current day!!!!

Note the emphasis on the use of we and us!!!!!

Some good points. But most of our wives and us were distracted by politics, race, and permissiveness. Just think about the late 60's and early 70's which were our late teens and 20's years. The Viet Nam war and the resulting political divide, race riots across the nation, and the drop out free love want to take you higher atmosphere that was popularized. So yes we were distracted, but like our previous generations we made it through. That is the strength of our country.

For once, I agree with you, chi.

But, not all of our wives were involved in the above. Many were attempting to keep the house together by working at low paying jobs during the 60-70's. The statement made by the poster was about the 50's. During that period of time, women were held in pretty high regard, and were the cement that held the families together. They received a lot more respect than they are now. Today, if you treat a woman with the respect they deserve, they think you might be hitting on them, or they feel that you are being condescending. I am generalizing, of course and speaking mostly of the younger generation, not our seniors.

But, we went pretty far away from the original post regarding Trumps vulgar language. If we spoke of the 50's and such language, it would not be tolerated and would be immediately censored.
