[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 400242, member: 23"] Yes, given the context of the time I can see how it would be viewed as fine for the men to have swinging singles pads while "nubile young woman"="steady relationship". Curiously in an episode I've watched this week, Mary herself almost endorsed this view. I forget the exact wording, but there was a scene where she was speaking to Lou about her ambitions and it pretty much came down to marriage and motherhood. Like Mary's panic when left in charge in an early episode, I'm guessing (and hoping) this is all part of a long game to show Mary's growth as the seasons progress. Thanks for confirming. I'm glad it wasn't just me who had that question. Oh my. Another example of TV giving me duff cultural information. ;) [/QUOTE]
