              The ladies of the 80s are a lonesome lot, IMO.

    Some. Probably no more than the women of the 20's, though. And I think
    there are plenty of lonely guys out there as well.
    
    The women of the 80's are in the midst of growing, and are experiencing
    related growing pains. Then again, men are learning about a different
    role for them as well. It will take time for all of this to settle out,
    but the end result will be worth it IMO.

      Sometimes I wish life was like a Jimmy Stewart picture.
    
     Men = Gentlemen....Women = Ladies
    
       Oh well......

399.6um...what about...2CRAZY::FLATHERSFri Dec 15 1989 16:307
    Ray Davis?? ( not to be confused with Ray..um what's his name of the
    rock band the Kinks??? ) 
    
       You left out another Alfred H. movie.  Ya know, the one when Jimmy's
    got a busted leg or hip of something...

399.9now the traditional way seems weird...2CRAZY::FLATHERSFri Dec 15 1989 19:1913
    -1, I know, I was just being facetious. I've been a Kinks fan for
    years. 
      -2, That's it! Rear Window, what a great flick. I did like the
    character his leading lady played.
    
      Back in the early 80's ...not once but twice I was barked at for
    opening doors for the other gender. Was raised to be a gent. But funny,
    now if I'm a step or two ahead of a woman entering a building, I'll
    just step thru ahead and hold it just long enough to be polite just
    like I would for anybody. Just conditioning I guess....
    
    
    
399.10GNUVAX::BOBBITTLEZAH lives!Mon Dec 18 1989 13:5414
    Geez...I've been barked at a few times too...but that was a long time
    ago.  
    
    The ladies of the 80's are an odd lot.  Some are just starting to
    listen to themselves.  Some are trying new ideals on for size.  Curious
    women, determined women, intelligent women, women tired of playing
    games, women learning how to play games, women with dreams, women
    learning what they need to get by, and how to go about getting it...
    
    It can't have been easy watching it happen....and I, too, wonder what
    the future has in store...

399.11what a year!FSTVAX::BEANDAMN! The TORPEDO! Full speed ahead!Mon Dec 18 1989 15:5914
    the 80's paid me a big dividend!  who'd have thought we could meet over
    a computer network?  who'd have thought romance would blossom?  who'd
    have thought a "long distance romance" would become a family?
    
    not me.
    
    but it happened.  
    
    i met Brenda through Singles.  I was 2000 miles away, but got a job
    where she lives.  We married and are wonderfully happy!
    
    all in the '80s.   a wonderful decade!

    	I like the ladies of the 80's as long as they aren't "cokeheads".

399.1380's Ladies?PENNEY::PENNEYnonCENTSFri Jan 12 1990 16:3012
    Are there 80's ladies?
    
    My 22 year old college student son informs me the only reason that
    males aren't reporting being raped by females is the extreme loss of
    face that would occur! :-)
    
    Is this true?  Being from the 50s generation, I guess I'm extremely
    naiive and sheltered.  Wasn't like that back in the stone ages, at
    least not where I hung out.

    Tis true.  Although the statistics are minimal compared to the rapes
    toward women, it still happens.
    
    Sad, what sort of world we live in these days, isn't it.....
    
    
399.15MAMTS5::MWANNEMACHERlet us pray to HimMon Jun 18 1990 18:5210
    My wife was a lady of the 80's until she met me.  Now she's a lady of
    the 40's-50's.  Being a lady of the 80's put a lot of hurt and scars on
    her.  We both are glad of the 80's though, because it brought us together
    and gave us two wonderful children.  Hopefully everything will be
    worked out when they become ladies of th 00's.
