This is my first diary. I've been a member for years but have only lurked and posted the occasional comment. I am a reader, not a writer. There will be mistakes but here it is.

I am tired of these 'back in the old days' posts on social medias. Back in the old days women had no choice but to be stay at home moms. Ever heard of 'mothers little helpers', they were valium. Women were drugged to keep them in their 'place'!! Child and spousel abuse was seldom prosecuted and was considered no ones business. All kinds of discrimination was rampant, considered morally justified and against too many groups to mention. If you didn't fit the mold you and your family were ostersized. I could go on and on! I am thrilled with the progress society has made! We still have a ways to go to rid ourselves of discrimination and to learn to accept that everyone is deserving of respect and equality and have a right to be who they are and to live their lives by their OWN concept of what is best.
