    If you actually had an argument, you’d be able to present a variety of proof, instead of just posting the same graph over and over.

      You just handwaved away the graph, provided nothing other than the ridiculously vague, “There are hundreds of reasons why.” And you are attacking them for having no argument?

        I waved it away because it doesn’t refute the facts. The fact is that a teenage couple making minimum wage in 1960 would be able to purchase a home in about five years. Nothing you’ve posted has disproved that. The fact that people chose not to do it is irrelevant. I don’t have to cite the reasons why something didn’t happen.

        None of those charts changes the fact that in 1960 a pair minimum wage workers could have brought a house in about five years.

          The woman probably didn’t get the job back then because she’s married and they expect her to quit once she gets pregnant

          I know because that’s what happened to my mother

            So, she actually had a job and could have kept it? A quick look at any source, including Superman comic books of the era, will show that there were millions of working women in America in the 1960s.

            You keep proving me right, over and over again.

              Yes, but she wouldn’t get a promotion because they thought it would be a waste. She ended up having me and being a stay at home mom

              Women entered the workforce, but they had a much higher wages gap vs. men, it wasn’t until the 80s that most women started working
