Many of us have seen the era of "Barney Fife making ice cream on Andy's porch" life romanticized until it hits a sore spot.

Unfortunately the fact of the matter of the 1950s is...

Unless you were a white male of means you were not important.

Women, POC, minorities, children (who were suppose to be seen and not heard) were not important, relevant or worthy of a real life. (real to the degree, they in their own right had their own needs and desires)

And remember this especially....gay people? Let alone FTMs? Forget it. Wasn't happening.

Personally, *i* will take the risk of a modern world of internet and busy lives versus a life of oppression, bigotry and male white supremacy.

Any day of the week.
