But women were expected to stay at home, be a breeder and take care of children and husband. If they did not do that it was generally thought that she was not taking care of her family and was shamed for it. I actually did research on this for my final year in my Bachelor degree.

Well if they didn't do this then there would be no next generation of human beings.  The view at the time was that someone had to raise the children and someone else had to acquire the resources. At that point in time most of the jobs required physical strength or someone to put in many hours.  Put yourself in the place of an employer and consider the question carefully.  What you see as simple prejudice was a recognition women and men are not interchangeable parts.  As for the shaming part, that was a consequence of not wanting to deal with the delinquents that would show up if the children were not cared for.

Women, when all else is equal, do not make the same choices as men.  This is true even now and it  still has economic consequences that the left, in particular, do not want to recognize.

I spent many hours with the Lost and GIs, trust me on this, they did not see the world as you do.

it should not be expected that women stay at home. it was back then.   The whole point was to give us choices and more freedom. Something I enjoy as a young 21st century woman. Elaborate please on "Women, when all else is equal, do not make the same choices as men."

I thought the Milo video would have made that clear.  Ask yourself this question: Do more men or women die in the workplace?  Do a little research and tell me what the answer is.

Fewer people are dying in the workplace than once did. Two big contributors to this trend are the reductions in death from vehicle collisions and from deaths from criminal homicides. Consider a reduction in armed robberies and cops having bullet-proof vests as the cause.

Workplace hazards relate closely to the sort of political regime in place. Where workers have few rights, industrial workers, miners, and construction workers face more hazards on the job.
