The 50's were probably great for kids born into middle class American households. But the adults of the 50's had just endured the worst war the world had ever seen, so I'm sure there were a lot of unresolved emotional issues for men and women alike, that were buried under alcohol and clouds of tobacco.

And they used those unresolved emotional issues to abuse their children physically and psychologically. Which is why the boomers are the way they are.

yeah, and likewise, the social cohesion and strictness that i mentioned.
