did boomers really rape women so casually back in the day?
>>16786630Yes. The entire plot of "overboard" is that if you rape someone's wife, they will love you more. It's funny to them if you kidnap and rape someone else's wife and then make them your house slave.Also, (((boomers))) are still raping us with their usary.
>>16786645what am I looking at here, doesn't she have any legs
>>16786659It's some weird 1980's levi's pantskirt hybrid.
>>1678669780s men's fashion was great while women's fashion was all over the place
>>16786630Oh hell, yeah. You have to understand that people in the '80s fucked a lot more, it was actively encouraged and not even the AIDS epidemic slowed anyone down, it was just like "just use a condom and stay safe, guys." School bathrooms had condom dispensers in them. It was a way more extreme era in terms of social norms and young people lived life dangerously. They had casual sex, they hitchhiked with strangers, they did shittons of drugs and alcohol. A lot of people died of substance abuse or got murdered back then. Objectifying women was the norm. The usual standard for "rape" for police was that the woman had to be visibly beaten up, bruises, bloody, etc. Otherwise there was no real way to prove it wasn't consensual and she'd probably be laughed out of the building.So consent wasn't really much of a thing for boomers and Gen X. Pinching girls' butts randomly was pretty normal. Getting respect from your bros meant you had to be the guy who got laid the most, the guy who could seduce willing girls, not just how many times you've been third to fuck the lowest self-esteemed bitch on your street while taking turns with your buddies in the abandoned house that's for sale down the block. Feminism was basically limited to some crackpot Berkeley classrooms.
>>16786740What changed, bros? Now we live in incel times...
Marital rape is the biggest feminist meme of all.
>>16786740>not even the AIDS epidemic slowed anyone downNot least of whom was Gaetan Dugas who was told he was killing people by fucking men in bath houses and instead of stopping, seemed to take pleasure in fucking with the lights off, then turning the lights back on and showing them his Kaposi's sarcoma sores, then telling them >I've got gay cancer.

>>16786796>He thought it is still 80s
>>16786782It is. No lies. Just made up bullshit.
>>16786803like, see in the 90s there was all the Lilith Faire feminist rock bullshit and Tori Amos popularizing the idea of being raped as something you could use for victim status points. also a generation of kids grew up watching cartoons made by male feminist cucks who told you that talking to women would get you slapped or pepper sprayed so many young boys became afraid of trying to get a date at all. during the 2000s, the Bush years, there was a walk back from feminism and women were objectified sex dollies like Britney Spears once again but it was only temporary.

>used to give girls rides back in the 90s>feel them up and stuff>if they got uncomfortable or asked me to stop I would say "Well fine, then I'm not taking you home. You can get out and walk.">you would be surprised at how many of them would go and run after my car and be like "Alright fine, you win. Let's fuck."god knows how many bitches I deflowered this way. they're middle aged now and I see them on Facebook with their cuck husbands. kek.
>>16786859I had mixed feelings about it. I was in a vocational program in 2001-2003 and most of the kids in the program hated me. Lots of proto-tumblr types and while my favorite genre of music at the time was hardcore punk I never truly got along with the whole Tatu nonsense and general consensus on the queer/gay/lesbian emo shit and ended up voting for Bush in a second term. I just really hated liberals deep down and wanted them to go away, despite the fact it just meant more wars for the Jews.
>>16786807Biden is worse, and he is actualy the president.
>>16786892>despite the fact it just meant more wars for the Jews.How old are you to still be spouting this garbage? You think Dubya's regime needed any encouragement over Afghanistan and Iraq?

Why are zoomers so terrified of sex? I'm a millennial and I remember people getting laid or at least getting BJs in high school, now people just simp for OF girls and never have sex.

reminder that Drumpf was a Miss Teen USA judge and he went backstage to watch underage girls changing their outfits
yeah it was pretty easy back then to take what you wanted. unless you beat the girl to a pulp there was no real way to prove it wasn't consensual and nobody was likely to believe her if she told anyone, they'd mock her and call her a slut. most just accepted it and went on with their lives.
>>16786740This guy thinks the 1980s was Hollywood comedy movies...
>>16787340nta but entertainment is half a reflection of IRL at the time. there's a reason why that was the era of slasher movies.
>>16787273But then again Biden probably watched 8 year old girls changing outfits, so...

>>16786795Women who marry you are agreeing to have sex with you, therefore it's impossible to rape them. At most its spousal abuse, like if you're too rough, but literally you cannot rape a consenting person.
>>16787359
>>16787574this is obvious.but today we have women marrying men they don't want to have sex with. what the fuck haha?it's hard to even begin to explain how fucked everything is. it's layers* of fucked which can't be boiled down to "women dumb"never marry a woman who is on birth control, for starters...
>>16787581Because by the time most people get married, they're already having sex and have probably gotten bored of it. It really removes the excitement from marriage, because it changes marriage from a sexual thing to a purely economic and legal thing. What else is a purely economic and legal thing? Divorce. People are just setting the wrong tone and getting screwed over because of it, largely due to their own mistakes, but that's life.
>>16787581women on the pill are bad at sex anyway, it takes away their desire to fuck and actually becomes painful for them. actually even most prostitutes and strippers don't use any birth control.
>>16787580unmarried does not mean single
i've had bitches insinuate to me that when she says "no" it's really just testing you to see how badly you really want her
>>16786630You mean we didn't need a legal form of consent in 1985 and just fucked when we felt like it?
>>16787273>>16787379Most of our politicians are pedos>>16787433You sure like to think about dicks a lot, fruitcake. Maybe all that light beer over the past forty years gave you hop-brain
>>16787596What fuckin pseud nonsense is this? Almost every woman I've fucked has been on the pill and most of them were as horny as a rabbit. One woman was so insistent on sex all the time I had a cramp in my arm from banging her so much

>>16786630>did boomers really rape women so casually back in the day?No. They just had a more realistic standard of consent before the US government shilled the ideas of 2nd wave feminists. The feminist's ideas of objectification, sexual harassment, enthusiastic consent and men being inherently predatory are the reason for the sexlessness/lack of romance of millennials and zoomers.

>>16788127True. Are we all forgetting how preachy and evangelical people were back then? They had to make movie ratings and game ratings because of all of the sex and violence. It was definitely not evocative of how people lived.

Young people hitchhiked all the time back then and sex was easy as piss to get.
>>16786795It was made up by the Soviets, I don't think we should copy their law-making>>16787273Based teen enjoyer
>>16786803It was a reversing effect from the 60s sexual revolution which is when promiscuous lifestyle with no boundaries took off. No one really care if anyone got raped unless it was a full-blown assault rape on someone innocent. Marital rape was also a norm. The sexual revolution from the 60s continued to have steam up until the 80s when society began to wake up to the surge of teen pregnancy and rampant STDs.Feminism began growing in the early 00s with school and politicians pushing it hard from a generation of academic socialists who had grown up in a age of safety and abundance but still wanted to "be the change" like their grandparents who came from poverty backgrounds and had made real reforms to improve society.Thus began the process of fix-something-that-isnt-broken which led to the dystopian we have today.
>>16788721>Feminism began growing in the early 00s with school and politicians pushing it hard from a generation of academic socialists who had grown up in a age of safety and abundance but still wanted to "be the change" like their grandparents whoTry the 90s.
>>16788721even before that it had been held that "rape" only counted if you beat the woman bloody and of course if she was your wife she was your property and you could beat her up as much as you wanted. of course a jealous husband might beat you up or kill you but the woman was perceived as leading you on and partially to blame.for example Daniel Sickles shot the son of Francis Scott Key in 1859 for an affair with his wife and got off the hook in the first known use of insanity as a legal defense. however his wife was permanently slut-shamed and nobody in Washington D.C. would ever associate with her again.
>>16786630depends how you define rape. if you use the actual definition, no. if you use the modern definition of "anytime it's beneficial to claim such," then yes.
>>16788721>No one really care if anyone got raped unless it was a full-blown assault rape on someone innocent.Even so child abuse was also really widespread in the 70s-80s and some estimates that 1 in 3 Gen Xers was molested. There were activists calling for legalized adult-child sex which is more than anyone even today is willing to go.
it was a rather strange thing because although the 70s-80s were an era of overall really extreme Weimar decadence there were still some oddly backwards things especially network TV was still clanking along on outdated 50s content guidelines and running le wholesome sitcoms like Full House. that didn't quite change until the 90s.
the 20th century was a time when hyper-sexualization of mass culture was the norm, even the stuffy 50s was more decadent than is often remembered

People also don't understand that 1970-73 was an extension of the 60s and that the activist feminism fizzled more in 74-75. The late 60s and early 70s was an era where bra burning was a thing and so was being proud of your body even if you were fat. Teens wanting to join communes was still big and people were protesting against beauty pageants and women's bodies being judged. source new yorker born in the 1950s

Israel is not more powerful than America or the CIA and you massively overstate it's power and capabilities. Do you seriously belive that Israel coordinated the 9/11 attacks? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
>>16786805Duh.Women plan their "dream wedding" before even having a partner. Every aspect is planned in detail, except for the groom who is at that moment just a big question mark in a suit. The monogamous aspect doesn't exist, women just want a big party where everyone cares about her doing something cool.
>>16789293and the later 70s were also more negative. The 60s and early 70s was about celebrating yourself and being free to be you and me but also about the group and helping each other, making the world a better place. Then it became looking good to please others but also screwing everyone else over instead of self-love and sharing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mU8gDKN5sEThis was the dream of the 60s and early 70s
>>16787138Well I thought your joke was funny, shame about the retard who felt he had to reply to you three times.
There were 2 70s. There was the socially conscious protest era or 1970-1973 70s with lots of idealism. Then there was the 74-79 70s that were grittier but with more partying and not really socially conscious except in certain areas.The 74-79 70s went more with the 80s and the 70-73 70s went with the 60s and were an extension of it. People were more interested in changing the world than the rest of the generation was and were more collective in our efforts. The 60s and early 70s were about collective efforts but also being yourself as an individual. Once 74 rolled around the collective effort part died and it just became individual and the revolution only continued in a select few cities. 74 had glimpses of the old era but was mostly gone. It became only about the party instead of the party accompanying social change. Things like communes died out and things like disco were in.In the 60s and early 70s it was about stopping things like beauty contests, burning bras, and equality, also eliminating gender norms and roles. Disco killed that. (source? 1950s born Boomer NY who was there).

>>16786630Maybe not "rape" in the literal sense but the way they courted women was absolutely rapey by modern standards.
>>16787243Talking to women is terrifying>t. zoomer
>>16786630I'm totally obsessed about this question. I've never met a boomer who wasn't a sexhaver, and they didn't have arranged marriages, so how did they do it? Are social media and late stage feminism really such a civilizational threat?
>>16791259In the sexual revolution it was considered liberation for a woman to have lots of sexual partners. But in the 60s and early 70s it was common for there to be "free love" where guys would share a girl or girls would share a guy. Sex was much easier to have but women would say "You don't own me. I can see whatever guy I want" and thought exclusive relationships were ownership. Plus there was tons of drugs and alcohol, much more than now so that made it easier since nobody had inhibitions. Swinging parties were big in the 70s too where they had keys. Partner swapping was the thing. AIDS killed a lot of the free love partner swap or sharing partners.
>>16791259Not just boomers but GI and Silent Generation before them also had way more sex than Millenials. Incels just weren't a thing.
>>16788721>the surge of teen pregnancyThere was no such thing. They just weren’t getting married first, and the number of women who were desperate to abort their unborn children had increased by orders of magnitudes over the preceding 30 years. Teen sex remained frequent. It was the marital rates that fell.
>>16786645>>16786659>>16786697they're supposed to be poor and the clothes would have been mish mash hand made by the previous deceased wife.

>>16786782Of course Chud Anon would say that.
>>16790630>terrifyingThe opposite is true. In the past women's "insecurity" wasn't taken seriously, but now their feelings must be "validated". Women now heighten disgust over nonconformism and use accusations of "creep" as a social tool in everyday situations. If you so much as have the wrong taste in music women will go "ew" "ick", all of a sudden you will be socially excluded, people's attitude will change to you, you won't get invited anywhere, you won't have an opportunity to socialize. You can be as confident as you like, but you have committed the crime of failing to conform to pop culture and this spooked the womenfolk while their simps are too scared of the same fate to oppose them. In the past of course they'd tell the stupid bitch to shut up.
>>16788390Still doesn’t make sense. You don’t want sex, say no, if not, say yes. It’s really not that hard.

>>16786630Maybe. Most romance scenes in older movies are pretty rapey even for me, and I'm kinda racist. Harrison Ford pinning down the android chick in the original Blade runner comes to mind.
>>16794530Same woth my gpas. My old guitar teacher, who'd be over 100 if he still lived, knocked a broad up around 18-20 and was sent to cali with $20 and a pool cue. Many preggo girls of the time were sent to 'live with their relatives' for 9 months

>>16786659love you anon stay based
Sex was just so normal. My old man told me he had sex with over 300 women in his lifetime and based on his lifestyle that was entirely feasible. He lost his virginity running a train on some broad with the guys in his high school football team and then after Vietnam was in the drug game, music business, and so much more. He described in one of his memoirs a show his band was playing and how the crowd was just raunchy debauchery, or how he got in an elevator and some woman asked him to fuck her, then when they were done, saw her walk out and to a table where her husband was waiting. He was born just before 1950. This was the world he lived in. The stories were the kind that would make any contemporary shriek.
>>16795952>Harrison Ford pinning down the android chick in the original Blade runner comes to mind.Watching Blade Runner I had the same thought specially when he kissed Rachel (?) because she was very not consenting yet him doing it anyway is critical to the plot.

But the way my mother in particular(a gen x)talks about the one area she grew up in is unimaginable.
>>16807357Millenials are a big generation, if not quite as big as the boomers. Gen X was small, though. A lot of public schools built during the baby boom years were closed in the 70s-80s when the population of children fell way off.
Wife swapping and partner sharing was normal then too. This guy I knew born in 1949 would tell me stories about how back when he was in his 20s, young husbands of a similar age wanted him to bang their wives back in the 70s and how they got off to that and that partner sharing was big in the 60s/70s but ended in the 80s.

>>16807357>>16807364Zoomer here, the neighborhood I grew up in had 20 children max and their parents would rarely let them play outside together with the fear of being kidnapped. My generation is small, smaller then the Gen X, due to already declining birthrates due to rising cost of living and "career oriented" lifestyles during the era when we started being born, our game was rigged from the start.
>>16807424There was a mini-baby boom from 1987 to 93. The '90s had a huge explosion of kid culture because there were a lot of Millenials.
>>16807424Same thing happend recently with the Millenial-Zoomer shift, I (Zoomer) remember my older teachers telling us how classes back then were way more numerous then ours was (22 kids), my own school had classrooms that were transformed into labs or cinema areas due to not having enough students to use them anymore, but they were used back then.
Another thing is second wave Boomers and Gen X (the people who were majorly into sex in the 80s) were dumber than the Silents and first wave Boomers. You ever notice how if you look at a high school in the 60s and early 70s the students seem articulate but if you look at high school in the later 70s and 80s the students seem dumber? The early Boomers were very ideological and theoretical. The late ones were more hedonistic, and party oriented without as much philosophy.
>>16807443and this is why the ideological work from the Boomers and political movements of the 60s and 70s come from the 1943-1951 crowd. It's also why 1946-1947 are overrepresented. They were the smartest of the Boomers.
>>16807443The educational system extremely went downhill after the 60s. The late Silent Gen and early boomers, who came up in the 50s-60s prior to the counterculture were much more literate and cultured than everyone after them. For that reason we literally can't seem to elect a president who isn't 80 years old because nobody born after about 1951 is smart enough to run anything.
>>16805677https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUVJGLK3BZEthis is how Indians in the USA act.
For Gen X onward everyone is a manchild who bases their entire personality on consumer products. It started with Gen Xers who made a cult out of Star Wars and mushroomed with Millenials.
>>16807454This makes a lot of sense and why they hung on to power so long. When you see the late Boomers and the early Gen Xers especially they seem very brain dead. Talk to someone born in 1946, you see a huge difference between them and 1964, almost insurmountable. The former are very into seeing all sides of an issue and into educating themselves. The latter get into theories like the flat earth and think Qanon is a prophet. Most of the Boomer stereotypes about them being "objectifying" and being stupid come from the second wave.
>>16807471I mean, I do make an effort to read a lot and not base my identity around children's cartoons from 1996 like some people I've know.
>>16807471The people into it most seem to be late Gen X and early to mid Millennials aka the 1975-1990 crowd. Those are the ones hugely into 80s and 90s nostalgia and are driving the nostalgia trend.
>population declineThen why does everywhere still feel so crowded and congested with traffic? Its like an infinite stream of illegals in america. How does central america have such a never ending population despite endless cartel wars and india cheat code their way to 2 billion people and not experience famine crisis? How does middle east population not collapse from endless genocide wars between each other?
>>16807428>Zoomer here, the neighborhood I grew up in had 20 children max and their parents would rarely let them play outside together with the fear of being kidnapped.That sucks man, i remember the rising fears in that as I was around ten but i did get the obverse where I was imprisoned in my teen years i guess so i couldnt hazard the chance at doing the crazy shit my father did. im glad i at least got a small taste of the end of what the previous gens got to experience>My generation is small, smaller then the Gen X, due to already declining birthrates due to rising cost of living and "career oriented" lifestyles during the era when we started being born, our game was rigged from the start.and both our gens will suffer hard for that in the coming decades, things aren't looking rosy my friend>>16807436hm ive never really thought about that before, its strange feeling to look back at these things now>>16807438I think in my highschool it was about 30 to a room for basic shit and im in a flyover>>16807471absolutely, unequivocally, and positively WRONG>source?my mema, nigger. >christmas this christmas that oh i cant wait for christmas christmas christmas christmas christmas >on december 26and I'll grant she is an extreme and honestly sickening level(my mother stresses about having to deal with her stuff when she dies because her mother talks about just that constantly) she's far from alone. Some other notable boomers from my own small list of personal examples include an aunt that had some kind of schizo crystal collection worth more than her(nice and big) house. And some old people im not even sure what my relation is, with their cracker barrel ass looking house.
>>16807454my dad was in college when Ford was president. at that time tune in, turn on, drop out was well-established. most of the guys he went to college with were jaded and not very interested in politics or changing the world and, like Fritz the Cat was essential college watching. i mean, the college culture by then mostly revolved around weed, rock music, and getting laid instead of more scholarly pursuits. i'm sure it would have been a lot different if you had been in college during the Kennedy years.
>>16807516>That sucks man, i remember the rising fears in that as I was around ten but i did get the obverse where I was imprisoned in my teen years i guess so i couldnt hazard the chance at doing the crazy shit my father did. im glad i at least got a small taste of the end of what the previous gens got to experienceYeah when looking back at it, it was kinda shit. Our parents (Gen X and very early Millenials) where the kids whose parents (Silent and boomers) needed to be reminded to know where they were by the television, so they were mindful to keep us within their eyesight, also a general rise in crime and in particular those nasty kidnapping of kids cases.
>>16807541>and in particular those nasty kidnapping of kids cases.that could be blamed on trashy shock jocks like Bill O'Reilly who exploited dead children for ratings
>>16807533For the 1945-51/52 Boomers, it was both. It was "turn on, tune in, drop out" but also intellectual at the same time and were into reading political authors and things like the Beat Poets. Turn on, tune in, drop out, was more about expansion of the mind and gaining more consciousness and connection to the spiritual. People born later than that took the drugs but didn't take the consciousness or mind expansion. There was a lot of philosophical and introspective music in the 60s and early 70s.
>>16807541the internet and the 24/7 news cycle as well, desensitizing or heightening peoples fears. heinous shit has always happened but with the advent of those two things they blast it nonstop full scope everything from across the globe. death here death there. I imagine the news stories the average burger would hear from a place like say Australia is tenfold between our time versus just gen x. And for them... well i can understand why we get hate to an extent.
>>16807533That was the change. From 64-73 the protests were abundant and so was the attitude of wanting social change. They thought the counterculture would unleash an intellectual and spiritual awakening. But then the people who came later than that weren't interested in intellectual and spiritual awakening.
>>16807581Yeah, and the era we grew up in gave plenty of material to fearmonger, early zoomers saw the war on terror, middle ones were kids during the arab spring and ISIS surge, later ones kinda saw the rising international tensions from North Korea, then Iran, China, Russia, and still are seeing the effects.
>>16807454For some reason though, class of 2003-2005 score the same on the SAT the early Boomers did. Was school more focused on those classes? Those people were born roughly from 1985-1987.
There was a huge contrast between how the early Boomers acted compared to the rest of the Boomers and the Gen Xers. In the 60s and early 70s, feminism and idealism were the thing. In the late 70s and 80s, rape comedy was more of the thing. What people would be outraged as backwards in the early 70s people thought was cool in the late 70s. "I am woman, hear me roar" was big in the early 70s. Source? Was there. The early Boomers and the late Boomers were miles apart in attitudes, miles apart. I am woman, hear me roarIn numbers too big to ignoreAnd I know too much to go back an' pretend'Cause I've heard it all beforeAnd I've been down there on the floorAnd no one's ever gonna keep me down againYes, I am wiseBut it's wisdom born of painYes, I've paid the priceBut look how much I've gainedIf I have to, I can do anythingI am strong (strong)I am invincible (invincible)I am womanYou can bend but never break me'Cause it only serves to make meMore determined to achieve my final goalAnd I come back even strongerNot a novice any longer'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soulYes, I am wiseBut it's wisdom born of painYes, I've paid the priceBut look how much I've gainedIf I have to, I can do anythingI am strong (strong)I am invincible (invincible)I am woman
>>16807533should add. that was when KISS first got big and most dudes thought they were stupid degenerate circus music for 12 year olds. especially the old -heads from the '60s hated them and thought rock peaked in '69 and was now officially dead.
>>16807680Can confirm. Most of the people listening to them at the time were in high school or earlier and the Jr. High schoolers were into them most. Older people hated it.
>>16807680>and most dudes thought they were stupid degenerate circus music for 12 year oldsthey're Jews, why wouldn't they be?
The baby boom peaked in 1953-56 and birthrates dropped steadily from there and fell below replacement by '65. There was a spike in the birthrate in 1969 so the biggest percentage of Gen X were '69 babbies. The all-time low ebb was reached in the mid-70s during the post-OPEC recession.
>>16787132The feminism of the 60s and early 70s from the early wave Boomers/very late silents was a lot more radical than the feminism you saw in the 90s. Talking about dismantling the nuclear family and seeing marriage and family as forms of oppression was the talk of the circles back then. You just don't know because your memories are from the later 70s and 80s and think this was how it always was. In the 60s and early 70s college scene, bras and shaving were considered oppressive and so was gender and gender roles.
cripes, six days and this thread is still up
>>16805923if you don't put back the carts that means you are low trust like black people
>>16810340I don't put them back because it gives more people jobs.
>>16786630At first there was a rather stringent censorship of everything sexual and people called this unrealistic and so in reaction to this they just ended up including a bunch of sexcapades which were also unrelastic. Neither era of hollywood was particularly realistic just as the current era is not realistic.
