106. Ohhhh, that's way more advanced than what

my catholic mother was imparting to us. Sex was for making babies, period. And the other religions that my immediate family (Grandparents, parents and aunts/uncles who branched out to more zealous sects) were preaching. I guess I came up in the "still clinging to Victorian Age" New England style zealotry, almost didn't matter what sect you were a member of as long as you had a church to belong to... then they were fighting about who was the real religion of god...

In the New England I grew up in, 50s and 60s; women were evil, what happened to them because they were satisfactorily subservient was entirely their fault, they had to pay the price of being born female and were basically seen as a possession rather than a human being entitled to equal rights. And heaven forbid you should consider having a career rather than hatching out kids by the time you were 20, and you'd better be married for at least a year prior to that or there was a lot of suspicion about when you got pregnant. And on top of that, you were questionable marriageable if that didn't happen by the time you were 19. And children were possessions, whatever their parents chose to do to/with them was the parents' business short of starving them or causing their death. In oter words, unless you were a white male back then you were just SOL.



That's the way it was then in that part of the country, when the Civil Rights Act came about, it got really ugly, and when the ERA movement was a topic, it got really ugly for women and girls... that lasted a really long time... guess that's still an issue in many places.
