>>7023174WW2.What does it mean to you personally?
What do you think it meant to your ancestors?
How about the soldiers?
How about the factory workers?
How about the fact that the capitalists and trade unions agreed for once to freeze wages to support the war effort?
But enough on that, let's focus on the aftermath of the war.Millions of men dead, mass de-colonisation, awakening of the masses to the dangers of extreme political theory, and of course the baby boom that indirectly led to 2nd wave feminism.
2nd wave feminism...I think the best exemplifications of it are roe vs wade and the equal wages act of 1963.This meant that men had more competition in the work force then there previously was, and combined with a baby boom, wages were sure to stagnate sooner or later.Nobody cared though, equality is a moral thing after all, and baby boomers were too busy enjoying their secure jobs with high wages to care about future generations, but instead reaped all the benefits of the previous and current generation- social security, as an
example.It is definitely not viable today, but why would baby boomers care?They just tossed the problem onto the next generation
