What I recall about being a young teen in the late 70s is nothing like you guys. I remember every adult male being a perv. I remember people excusing such behavior. I remember every tv show being about quick meaningless sex. Not remembering a Leave it to Beaver world like some of you.
I think both worlds existed side by side at that point.
ABC promoted every teenaged vice in the afternoons on “afterschool specials” and some programs gave more than a wink and a nod to the open relationship cocaine heavy seventies.
But we knew that “was not for us”/wouldn’t fly in our homes.
“I remember every adult male being a perv.”
How are you defining “perv?”
