Members Paul Raven Posted November 24, 2023 Members Share Posted November 24, 2023 What about when Bill Bell had Victor spank Nikki for her misbehaviour? A lot of things that wouldn't fly today went through w/o comment because it was a different time. Simple as that. That is what some people fail to understand by constantly judging things by today's standards . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted November 25, 2023 Members Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Of course, but even if we totally know that in our minds, we can still experience emotional surprise when watching it. Both things can be true. Edited November 25, 2023 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted November 25, 2023 Members Share Posted November 25, 2023 Look at the initial years of the character dynamics I listed. During the 70s, and before, many men didn't want their wives to have careers. Many made them leave their careers. Yeah, it wouldn't have been unheard of for a man to want his wife to stop practicing medicine. It's in fact true that men, especially then, felt threatened by career women. @j swiftAs far as me being in incel -- I idolize Lady Lovelace, Lillian Gilberth, Lillian Gish, Dee Dee Allen, Pauline Kael, June Havoc (along with many other women. I don't like idiots, man or woman. I don't like either men or women who feel either sex is better than one or worse than one. I hate men who feel masculinity, and being a man, is superior. And I hate women who subscribe to that ideal as well. Further, I hate the ideal that women are somehow better. @Paul Raven and @j swift Don't you dare think I hold archaic views with women and careers. If I have them I wouldn't have studied soap opera for 16 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted November 25, 2023 Members Share Posted November 25, 2023 Speaking on this topic, has there even been actual storyline of a woman being abused, like Ike/Tina, by their husband showcased on daytime? I know Curtis abused Kate on Days, but that was all backstory and happened offscreen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted November 25, 2023 Members Share Posted November 25, 2023 On Days back in the 70s, Mickey and Maggie’s neighbor was being abused by her husband. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted November 25, 2023 Members Share Posted November 25, 2023 Plus Curt and Leora Sanders on AMC in 1981 and that one couple with Craig Wasson as the husband on OLTL in 1991. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
