Things that are hot button issues now simply were not controversial then. More, they simply weren't issues at all back then. (They weren't just unproblematic issues - because that implies someone evaluated them - they weren't issues at all)I'm not saying it's wrong to care about these things. I'm saying it's futile to hope for sensitivity back then. It wasn't that men chose to be insensitive. It was that the issues weren't problematized at all, at least not by the general population and definitely not by the predominantly young males that were the expected audience.)</blockquote>
