As a woman who was a teenager in the 1960s, yeah no thanks. Once was enough. Good music but everything else was shite.

In what way? I would love to hear more about it, honestly. From my perspective it seems super relaxed and people were friendly and loving... But that's just from watching TV shows about it. I'm born 1975...

I sure wouldn't want to be black or a woman in the 1960s.

For starters, ever heard of the Vietnam War?

I'm assuming you are from US, so I don't think any woman or black person from there will agree with you. These ppl had no rights or these were ignored in the majority of your country. In 1959 the last baseball team starts to accept Negros in their teams. I don´t believe that one year after everything were fine. And if you talk about any other place out of US, well, it is worse, Europe has families divided by cold war, IIrc UK we're having an economic crisis... I really believe that were bobbles during this time, but it was for a minority

Idk something tells me being black or gay or a woman or an American or Vietnamese man from the ages 18-24 wouldn't be too hot in the 60s but what do I know, we only have entirely unfettered access to historical documents from the time.
