Reply #16: Things they take for granted were hard won [View All]

[Armstead]

We tend to forget that things like the social freedom to be openly gay, or women having a place in the workforce as equals, and racial civil rights were hard won. The young assume that the things that are taken for granted is "just the way things are" I guess.

Gawd I sound like my mother and father when they say that about how our generation never experienced the Depression or WW 2. But it's true.
