What was it like to be a white male in the 1970s?

Breddy shit since you have to deal with the Carter administration.
The beginning of the end in your picture, OP.

My dad (born in '60) said it was pretty fun. You could buy gas for cheap, houses were incredibly cheap, and you could get a job right out of highschool. He was a bit of a nerd though, but he was really big into weightlifting and swimming throughout his life.
I'm 6'3", and 230. I played football for 8 years, and while I made some great buds on the team, my school didn't really idolize us. Dad said if I was born when he was I would've had the best time in life. it makes me sad to think about what could've been.

As a youngster you'd go to school. When you grew up you'd find a job so you wouldn't starve and be able to buy cheap distractions occasionally.
Not fundamentally different from today. Or from a hundred years ago. Or two hundred.

imagine enough feminism to make women sluts but not enough to make them hate men or cry about misogyny.
If you got pulled over while drinking and driving, a cop would take your beer and tell you to go home.
AIDS didn't exist yet.

I was just listening to that famous "In the Summertime" song.
Lyrics included:
>Have a drink, have a drive, go out and see what you can find
>If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal. If her daddy's poor just do what you feel.

Holy shit
>If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal. If her daddy's poor just do what you feel.
Too funny
dad ended up buying a puke yellow Toyota Corolla to get thru the Jimmy Carter years. it was a decent car, tho.
i had a vegan teacher and his hippy wife teacher in 4th grade, but everyone thought they were weird.
we still had Halloween with real Trick or Treating back then.
kids were free-range, and parents liked it that way.
It was like being a German in 1941
Everything's great, and you're on top of the world, and yet somehow there's this underlying sense of unease, like something is about to go terribly wrong
Considering like 95% of the population was still white Europeans it was based to be multigenerational Aussie. First genners had identity issues but managed to fit in, immigrants did their thing and it either worked or didn't but the common white person was still afraid of them.
