    So is this to show equality has made things better or worse? Now that women can do "anything" a man can do is the woman better off? Remember the culture in those days where it took only one income to support a family and a man was happy to work six days a week hard labor for their families. The culture shift to having women outside the home more often and working was for the government to be able to inflate the currency and tax us to death. The government didn't care about women and still doesn't. It's all about currency....always has been. Andrew Jackson was likely the greatest president because he stopped the bankers....something Trump would have done were it possible.
