When I say back in the day, I mean when you were a young adult
(70s, 80s, 90s etc)

I can remember being in college in law school in the mid-1990s and I never once saw two girls kiss in public. Now it’s incredibly common to see even straight girls making out just to get attention from men at bars or at parties. The acceptance of that is something that’s changed quite a bit. Tattoos in the last 20 years have exploded. Not saying they’re wrong because I’ve got a tattoo and I don’t particularly care about two women choosing to kiss either. I’m just saying it’s been a complete change in just over a generation.

Open sexuality of all stripes. This used to be something for adults in the privacy of their homes with other consenting adults, now it’s everywhere. Now you’re encouraged to be open about every damn little thing - and embrace all sorts of deviant behavior. If you don’t, you’re a misogynist, racist, prude, whatever insult they can find that day.

In my youth, they sold us the Martin Luther King bill of goods, content of character, race-blind, et al - but now, that’s racist, and failing to acknowledge whatever extortion the People of Color want today and give in immediately also racist. Anything that doesn’t give profound benefit to People of color is…systemic racism. Any failing, systemic racism. So the “race-blind future” we were sold was merely a way to get White people to unilaterally disarm while Blacks and others engaged in open Black Pride et al

Openly discussing politics, asking someone who they voted for, asking for other people's medical information (outside of a doctor's office), taking photographs in bars, getting rides from strangers...

Women getting tattoos was a very unnatural thing to do many years ago, now it's very common for a woman to cover her body with tats.

Saying the USA is a great country with no fear of being called a "NAZI" or a "white nationalist" or a supporter of "slavery" and "segregation".

Homosexuality!
Contracts! A handshake was more binding.
Suing the police!

Just sleeping around and being a whore or man whore. Being a pedo. Degeneracy in general

Single parent households. I'm not saying it can't be successful but it's not IDEAL. Generally the children suffer for it. And we as a society so as to not hurt anyone's feelings completely ignores this reality.

Marriage before sex and cohabitation

[Asker]

In what decade do you feel like those those things started becoming more widely accepted/common?

[AviatorTom]

I think sex before marriage back then was more common than most think, it just wasn't talked about much, and was kept more private.
