Like your post.

---------------------------------

Like the ‘we all got screwed theory’.

Let’s see here, Matriarchal or Patriarchal, heck let me spin my personally branded mansplained outline as to how we arrived at post-ww2 Boomerville.

Euro-centric people colonize N & S Americas.

The same bunch unwittingly wipes out well more than 50% of native Americans with imported chronic diseases.

Like other new Eurocentric territories and colonies, the USA inc. along with the Manifest Destiny Doctrine (MDD) are created.

----------

[MDD expands territories wiping out what is left of Native Americans, with tools like legal genocide, resourced armies since slavery is being tasked doing much of America’s building and agri-production jobs. You know, all that stuff that is swept under the rug. Anyway, civil wars leave such a bad taste lingering forever. (Pro Tip: Don’t look under the rug.)]

----------

Reviewing from colonial days: indentured servants, slavery, exploited labor towns, etc. (Oh, almost forgot, some colonist and new Americans were allowed land ownership, besides all that other stuff)

Up next: unfettered runaway rampant capitalism. Economic scares, trust buster era.

A commie scare or two, because hey! It’s not capitalism. Banana republics or (new colonization methods, and other leftovers of the MDD)

Great depression, (sensing a pattern here, hard to see but getting clearer)

New Deal.

WW2

Begin Boomer era. (including the newly evolved electronics and digital industry, also made possible perhaps by corporate colonization, but that’s just a guess. Basic eq. for successful modern economy: cheap labor + lots of guns + anything goes = best economy) Now there’s a warm fuzzy for us all. Heck now that I think about it let’s just forget the pre-WW2

‘good old days’ okay?

Now continue reading T. Schlesinger's for a reality check on women in the richest country in the world in the boomer era and ongoing. Great bio-read.
