Free To Be You And Me

r/

“Free To Be You And Me” came out in 1972 and sought to teach our generation to value concepts like gender neutrality, individuality, tolerance, and comfort with one’s individuality.

What ways did those ideas play out in your life?

    All I remember is the song.

    I would say, though, that equality seems to have peaked with our generation.  People are way more openly sexist and bigoted now than they were twenty or thirty years ago.

    These ideas honestly peaked in the 90’s.
