I'm about that age. I was a child (0-10) in the 60's. I was lured into the van of one of my mother's adult friends when I was about 12 years old. He drove me to his apartment and tried to rape me statutorily. I was stupid and young and had never been taught a thing about men, so his actions really freaked me out. I told him how old I was, and he brought me back (it was my step sisters wedding reception). I think if I had been older, he would have gone through with it, but that's just conjecture. First off, I never said anything about it and other than being a bit confused (the guy was in his late 20's or early 30's), nothing was ever said about it. My father would have literally had my head. I confided to one of my brothers in the 90's. But I learned that it was normal for a guy to just find a girl, pull her off the street and have sex at his cool hippie pad with "super-fly" playing in the background. They'd also pull out the marijuana. They used drugs or alcohol a lot to get you on your back. This happened a lot. Every party I went to as a teenager was nothing but wall to wall alcohol and grass and cocaine, which wasn't considered a hard drug. Everytime you went to a friend's house the pipe or the bong came out.
The world of women was very serious about keeping your virginity until marriage. In high school, in the 70's a girl got pregnant. She was treated with kindness, but we always thought she was a slut for getting pregnant. She wasn't harassed or anything, but everyone kept their distance (like it was a disease you could catch). I think all the girls I knew had been raped eventually, by at least college age, usually by an older man. It was kind of understood that those things happened then. In the 50's and early 60's a girl who did not marry who her parents wanted to, or was promiscuous ended up in the D-home and sometimes in a mental ward. Often they would give the child up for adoption, and act like it never happened. You could go to Mexico for an abortion, but it was risky. You would be thrown out on the street, and often live a really hard life. It sounds theatrical, but it happened. There were tons of teenagers running away. There was a huge homeless teenager problem in New York and California mainly because of the hippie movement. It was not a far reach to imagine it happening to you. A lot of girls ran away with their boyfriends and were abandoned. I guess the same could happen now, but back then, there were huge underground populations.
In the 70's, you have to remember it was the sexual revolution-- and this is strange-- swingers-- that's what they called them. They'd throw key parties and swap wives. They thought nothing of seducing little girls. Jail Bait was a prime catch. All that hippie stuff was about being male and having females who would allow you to do anything. The men of the 60's and 70's really treated women as their own personal candy-- and the younger, the better. I used to be woolf whistled by men all the time as a 10 year old and older. Men would grope you, grab you, fondle you, and then quickly walk away, or act like they never did it. Guys would pinch or slap your butt all the time. It was no big deal, it was a greeting. The statistics are that most women my age have been raped at least once. I've been raped about 4 times-- usually by dates-- during the "Disco" era.
That was before AIDS, and the worst that could happen was pregnancy or "the clap." Despite what it might sound like, people were a lot freer with sex and nakedness and so on.
Oh-- I think movies like "Factory Girl" and "The Doors," were pretty accurate.
