How do you think the lives of American families were effected after WW2, specificlly in relation to women working outside of the home?

This one was one about a muder over 50 years ago. The man had come back from WW2 and his wife wanted to keep working. In a fit of rage he pushed her off a ledge in the factory which was about 30 feet up. They got a confession out of him when he was like 70 years old (present day).

All soldiers come back from War a different person from when they entered. My step-father was at Okinawa when he was 16. He was a marine. My own father was there, but he was in the Navy. On a ship, you were either hit by a kamikaze and died, or you lived without much exposure to combat. My step-father went through Hell, and was one of five that survived, in his group of twenty. The two men were always friends throughout my life and I saw the difference. The Marine was cold, strict, uncompromising and his wife had problems. My Dad was full of love and my parents had few problems.
I know this just touches on your question, but it is a question whose answers could fill books.

No, but I saw one a couple of weeks ago in which a transsexual was sent to a facility to learn how to be a "proper woman." That might foster some interesting discussion.
