That’s a remarkably one dimensional way to view those times. My mom was in college (UCLA), as was my dad’s sister. I still have their yearbooks and college pics, dad and mom, Aunt Phil and Uncle Chuck two couples all four pursuing degrees. My mom didn’t finish, dropped out to marry and raise a family, kept up her musical education, acquired a profession (piano teacher), an avocation (composer)and eventually divorced my dad and kept the house. My dad remarried, a teacher, they raised her family. These were strong, educated, and successful women, not likely subjects for TV shows but then maybe people take the stuff they see on the tube too seriously;)
