I wasn't alive in the 60's and 70's (well, okay, I was "alive" but not as it pertains to the discussion), so I have no basis of comparison. But it would be reasonable to expect that the 80's were a product of the 60's and 70's. That's how the world works, after all.

And that wasn't the message *I* got from the 80's. My parents did a better job than that (not that I don't have my own share of issues, particularly the emotional castration...). That is, however, the message I think most of society got. And I think it's only getting progressively worse, in the terms I established. Particularly the concept of absentee parenting.
