\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Joyce in Pittsburgh. Hey, Joyce, great to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi. Good afternoon, Rush, and Megadittos from a self-employed, screwed-by-the-health-insurance-increase-on-myself, CPA, tax-time dittos.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) You didn\u2019t stutter once during that. That\u2019s great.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, hey, I love you, so why would I be nervous? Anyway, what I wanted to talk about today is Mr. Snerdley and I had a bit of a chat. I love him. Anyway, I am a college graduate from the seventies. I went to a really conservative Christian school but still came out pretty much programmed to be a feminist. No matter where you were religiously, you came out of the schools in the eighties and the seventies programmed completely — from high school and on — to be a feminist. You were a woman —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Define that. Wait a minute. I mean, you went to conservative Christian college?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

CALLER: I went to Grove City. Are you familiar with Grove City College?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, very well. Very much so. So you say you came out of there a feminist. What\u2019s a Grove City feminist?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, my sister\u2019s the same way. She went to a school in Ohio. We both came out being women working in men\u2019s professions, which were predominantly men\u2019s professions in the seventies. She\u2019s a pharmacist; I\u2019m a CPA. We came out of there feeling that you had to have it all. You had to work, have kids, be married. You know, it was the supermom at the time.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now wait. I don\u2019t mean to nitpick.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I was in Pittsburgh in the seventies. I will never forget it. I\u2019m probably still screwed up from those years.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Because I came of age at 20\/21 when all that crap was happening. It has forever tainted me just in the way I deal with women. But my question is, back then getting married was not something you did. You did not derive happiness from a man or a relationship.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Nope, you didn\u2019t. That\u2019s why you had to work full time. I don\u2019t have children.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, there was no marriage involved. I mean, that wasn\u2019t in the cards. That wasn\u2019t part of having it all.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, it wasn\u2019t part of it. But if you did choose to get married, then you were expected to have the kids, have the job, and have the career. The kids went off to day care at the age of six weeks.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Okay.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I mean, that\u2019s what they did.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. Okay.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And if you didn\u2019t do that I mean, I actually found myself looking down my nose at women who chose to quit their jobs and stay home because it just seemed, why would you do that if you spent all that time in college and, you know, what a waste. And, you know, as you evolve professionally and maturity and your brain ceases to be mush, you know, as you talk about college youngsters, which is so true, you start to understand and you do normally temper and, you know, become a conservative through it. But the shame of it is, is just how much that has screwed up so many families, so many women, so many men. And I think no wonder folks were happier in the fifties and sixties because the roles were clearly defined. You know, you really did. I mean, my family was basically Ozzie and Harriet.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: We had a great life and Dad worked, you know, Mom stayed home with us and raised us.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you say the roles in the fifties and sixties were clearly defined. Who defined them back then?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think everybody was happy with the definitions. I mean, women were happy, you know, to stay home and raise their families. Society itself, I think the culture was just much more organized. I think there was far less stress in families. Men were allowed to be the provider and they were allowed to be strong and the disciplinarians of the kids and, you know, mothers were the nurturers and that\u2019s the way it\u2019s always been.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, back in the fifties Beyonce would have not had to say, “Bow down.” Women just did it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, if they were in a happy marriage…<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m just kidding. I couldn\u2019t resist.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know you couldn\u2019t. That\u2019s pretty funny.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But look, I watch Madmen and Madmen takes place through the sixties and they\u2019re touching on, it\u2019s fairly realistic, in the mid sixties how women are starting to get a little bit upset at the role you just described, and it\u2019s right. Because in the late sixties is when you\u2019re talking.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You said seventies for you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Late sixties is when this new era started to manifest itself.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It did. And I think, you know, and that of course is coming out of Vietnam and all the cultural things that, you know, you and I can recall.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Joyce, what do you say to people who think, “You know what, Joyce? You\u2019re just old fashioned. You\u2019re stuck in the past. We can never go back to it. It wasn\u2019t what it was. You\u2019re so fuddy duddy and you\u2019re going to have to modernize or society is going to leave you behind.” What\u2019s your reaction to that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, my reaction to that is, haven\u2019t we just done a great job of redefining the family unit. What\u2019s the ratio of children being born, you know, out of wedlock right now. What\u2019s the ratio of folks that are, you know, not happy. What\u2019s the divorce rate? Perhaps we need to take a step back and think about what has all this progressiveness really done to our culture, and I think we know the answer to that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, yeah. No doubt. But it\u2019s all based in love. Everybody loves each other and so whatever happens is fine.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I guess I\u2019m a little too cynical for that but, you know, you see that happening. You know, and every time you talk about the <\/p>\n

RUSH: I love my sofa, and I sit on it every night. And it loves me back.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What, your cellphone?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sofa, my sofa.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, your sofa.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, I love mine too, although I haven\u2019t seen it in a few months because of tax season, but <\/p>\n

RUSH: If I could marry my sofa, I might think about it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well <\/p>\n

RUSH: And maybe in a few years it could be possible. You never know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
