*****.... leading men were. “All the alfa males acted that way.”****
You have identified the problem. Hollywood has influenced our society for the past 80 years. In the beginning, movies reflected our JudeoChristian ethics. Men were masculine, heroic, honorable and women were strong, loving and moral.
Movie content ‘progressed’ to pornographic where any type of sexual deviancy, violence etc., are acceptable.
Donald Trump was involved with ‘show business’ on The Apprentice. He was likely encouraged & advised to ‘go with the most provocative content for ratings. He is a businessman. In such an atmosphere, conversations and behavior spill over to the talent and production crews.
If you are making a NatGeo series about butterflies, not so much.
I remember back to the age of 14 when I first heard a guy talk in bawdy terms about girls/women. I didn’t care for it. From that time forward I never grew to like it.
Have I ever said some things off the cuff that might be construed as bawdy? I’m sure I have, but it didn’t go vulgar as I recollect.
There’s no denying how Hollywood and the music industry have impacted society. It’s a real shame to having first amendment rights folks didn’t realize that meant they had a right to conduct themselves and their industry by at least some decency standards. Alas, they didn’t get that memo.
Maybe we need an amendment that states that U. S. Citizens have the right to open carry morals in public, and that it cannot be abridged by law.
