That's why you will never come to a meaningful answer, the assumption that because a and b existed at the same time, that they were interrelated.
informal fallacy.
My point was in regards to general online discourse around Boomers having it easy. As such, I listed the struggles they had.
That being said the ability to support a family on one income probably had a lot to do with taboos about women in the workforce.
Just stop
Man this place is really worse than reddit.
Yeah, were a lot less nice to people who obstinately refuse to understand basic logic
"Oh but boomers had hard lives in other ways" isn't the point at all and those things have nothing to do with the post.
This post doesn't exist in a vacuum. There are a million and one posts about how the boomers had it super easy, and have been over a decade now. This is yet another one of these posts.
Second, the fact that supporting a family on a single family income was possible had a ton to do with the fact that people were pressured into having families and women were largely unable to enter the workforce.
Nope, it's just about financials, which is true no matter how butthurt you are.
Lol, no.
