Never will you see a greater difference. I much prefer the late 60s as far as art, but art doesn't spring from a healthy place generally.
A lot of women had to deal with asshole husbands and horrible double standards before they had more economic freedom, but a double standard is preferrable to no standard as far as family stability and welfare of children. Many women took one for the team historically. Divorce and all the downstream issues stemming from divorce and absentee parenting creates more of a welfare state and fucked up kids with each successive generation.
