Oh, and the ones about what job my husband had and what it paid, implication being why was I considering working outside the home, didn't he make enough money to support me? Plus, it was a given that male employees made more than females doing the same jobs, 'cause men had families to support and thus needed more money, and besides single females could always find a "guy" to take her out to eat, plus she could reside with her parents or share an apartment with 5 other females, thus it didn't cost as much to live. All these were actual questions/attitudes those of us making our way through the work force encountered back in the 50's and 60's, when I was navigating the employment scene.
Ah, yes, the good ol' pre-Feminist Movement days. Younger females these days would do well to pay attention to the battles that were fought and won from which they've benefited. Appears to me, there are those who would love to launch those battles once more. Part of the War on Women, as I see it. Let's not go there again, okay?
Rant's over now. Blessings to all.
