I wouldn't want to go back to the '70s in so many ways, but there are aspects of the culture of that time I miss.
Oh, me too! I'm just wary of that emotional impulse, because I know I was in a position to appreciate so much of the egalitarianism of 1972, and sheltered from so many effects of sexism. Four-year-olds don't have to worry about equal pay or career opportunities or any of that.
