I'm younger than you, Peenie, but still a Gen Xer. For the purpose of this thread, I'm going to differentiate rape and sexual assault. When I was growing up in the 80s and coming of age in the early 90s, rape was rape, but that's about it. Rape was having intercourse with a female against her will. No one was okay with that. No meant no. My friends and I knew and abided by that. Most other stuff was fair game. Sexual harassment and what we would now call variations of sexual assault were rampant, but it was just not acknowledged as such.
In the immediate aftermath of metoo, some of my friends and I talked about the things we'd done and seen. It was kind of a reckoning where we acknowledged that some of the shlt we were a part of was borderline behavior, at best. But at the time, it was just part of growing up.
I love showing my school age children movies I enjoyed in my youth. Let's just say Sixteen Candles and Animal House won't make the cut.
