Women were secluded during pregnancy. Even as late as the 1970's it was unthinkable for a pregnant woman to be out in public, shopping or whatever. The problem for men with getting a barbershop shave was that you were spoiled and unmanly; that you couldn't shave yourself.

And to these good, god-fearing folk, this was the way things were done. And they were happy. A little 19th century sensibility wouldn't hurt now and then. Simply put, people had MORALS in those days.

I can remember some old biddies at the grocery store complained when they saw my father buying beer. This was in the late 1970's or early 1980's! My parents were teachers in a small town in Indiana.

Now we have openly gay teachers dealing, rightfully, with their own life and maybe soon their own stem celled kids! What a change in about 150 years!
