Back in the 1970\'s there was a cigarette commercial that claimed: "You\'ve come a long way, baby!". But, how far have we really come from those days 30 years ago?
The Equal Rights Amendment never passed, due to right-wing propaganda, mostly spewed by Ronald and Nancy Reagan. In the Southeastern US, especially the rural areas, it is almost like time has stood still, with outmoded attitudes towards women prevailing.
I don't think we have come a long way. Not with some religious groups, both Judeo-Christian and Pagan emphasizing the embracing of traditional gender roles.
