[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gen x here with parent born in 45. BTW silent and boomer. When I became a mother my own mother disapproved of the length of my skirt. I wore at the knee length. She called them mini skirts. Ironic bc she was young in the 60s. When I hit milestones like 35, 40 45, she'd make occasional remarks about dressing more respectably, and not exposing the knees. When I hit 35 she frequently remarked about my long hair. Bear in mind my hair is thick and by long I wear.it collarbone length. So more medium. Apparently we are all meant to wear respectable page boy length hair, or a bob. She said women who wore longer hair or shorter skirts were mutton dressed as lamb and trying too hard. She said it is jarring to see someone who looks youthful in style only to see a wrinkled face. Thank goodness she wasn't alive to see me when I turned 50! My hair is still collarbone length and my skirts still are at the knee. Other thoughts. A lot of women in the 60s and 70s were given automatic hysterectomy after their last child. I think they only did a partial. But is imagine that that made you look and feel older. I also.think there is more appreciation of women of all shapes and sizes. In my mother's day there was a.certain shame if you were plump or fat, and you wouldn't wear as much figure fitting things. Think tunics and chicos. But now fortunately there are a lot of beautiful women wearing beautiful clothes proudly, even If they are not a size small. [/quote] No. Tubal ligation. Not hysterectomies [/quote]
