Instilling Jazz Emotions: Homes for Unwed Mothers
by Gaius Publius
In a recent comment on a terrific music video, I wrote this, apropos hippies and their gifts:
Consider how many hippie-bashing conservatives (and “liberals”), for example, love that they can live guilt-free with their sexual partners. That was a hippie gift, and there are dozens like them. Consider the complete disappearance of “homes for unwed mothers,” where parents with means could hide their shamed daughters away till they’re safely unpregnant again. Or comfortable clothing — thank a hippie the next time you wear jeans to work.
Reader Martin saw that and kindly sent the following, from Film Daily of February 7, 1926:
Quoting Martin: “So bad on so many levels.” Thanks to those hippies, this is the world we escaped.
