Men.
Women.
Fashion.
Drinks & Drugs.
Dinner.

“I am woman, hear me roar,” sang Helen Reddy in 1972. And boy were we roaring. The decade marked the decline of the Vietnam War, and with it the radical hippie culture that permeated the 1960s.
Tom Wolfe deemed it “the me decade” for a reason, but it may have been called the Ms. marathon instead. The magazine and the passing of Roe v.

Great! Then I have just the treat for you. It’s a decently offensive (and unnecessary quote from a cooking video with Eric Ripert. I know, you didn’t see that coming as the source. I didn’t either.
