Let's make a list of what was acceptable in the 1980s?

-Smoking while holding your newborn. -Smoking in your hospital room. -Smoking on planes.

-Letting a nerd rape your drugged girlfriend. I grew up in the '80s and this one disturbs me the most in retrospect. Like, this seemed totally normal and acceptable.

Oh the 80s were full of casual sexual assault that women and girls were supposed to tolerate. This is why I hate the conservative bellyaching about how kids don't need smartphones; you have NO idea the danger we ended up in as largely unsupervised kids in the 80s.
