(110,159 posts)i was in my late teens and twenties in 80's. single. hung out with a lot of men. but then, i was in calif and nv. it seems to me that they were well along side of us. that we were progressing forward. it seemed to start in the mid 90's with the porn and accessibility to porn on the computer. hence, why i see accessibility to porn to be a main issue and feeding in the disrespect. then it seemed like bush and the manly man christian coalition bullshit of manliness/women submissiveness gave a big thumbs up to all this. i think also at the time, a lot of men were losing out. the independence and freedom of women started to really show. not needing to marry. that was a big one i saw.
throw in even more access to harder core porn, bushco proving you are a man mra groups and womens success.
there were things we did wrong too. in the 80's i really saw where women and girls were being taught and promoting we dont need men. we are better than. girls rule, boys druel type attitude. digs at male ego instead of eliminating the action/reaction aspect.
i think it was the early 2000's where men started trying to get their dominance, power and control back. and a real effort to mainstream porn.
