Old movies? This is a segment from a TV show. Movies and television in 2021 still portray strangulation as taking seconds. In reality, strangulation takes 12-15 minutes. Much of which involves the continued asphyxiation of a lifeless unconscious person. That doesn't make for very compelling or thrilling television though, which is why it isn't portrayed. Tv isn't supposed to be real life, you understand that, right?

If a woman wished to dedicate her life to family, husband and children, a nurturer, making a safe and comfortable home for them all, it was a full time job. It fell to the man to earn the living enabling both of them to maintain that safe and comfortable environment. There is nothing wrong with that dream as long as a woman is strong enough to wait for the right person with the same values. Otherwise find an occupation to use her gifts and find fulfillment in helping others. It's not easy for such a woman if she has to give up that dream.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

My idea of helping others is starting a factory and hire people to get them out of poverty and gain opportunity themselves. Much better than the redistribution of hand outs and we shipped our factories to communism, (which also tells us to sacrifice for others), until we are all broke. It was a great time in the USA when a man with no college degree could make enough money to raise a family and put their 5 kids through college. But it didn't last long. Somebody does not want us making money, and those are the people telling s to live our lives for others. My parents both worked and had minor degrees, and they bought a home with 80 acres in 72 for 24 grand, then built a new house on it that my Mother lives in to this day. I can't do that with 2 engineering degrees, and had to start a little business to get myself out of poverty. I understand the great days,---and the sabotage.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

By the way, check out this movie on YT "An American story". The women of men who fought in WW2 were very impressive, (based on a true story). One became Doctor, (Kathleen Quinlin actually, beautiful person for this part), and had a very good argument with the hero in the rain. Morals, we do not see anymore. The other ran her husbands machine shop, and did a very good job. He came back and wanted her to go into the kitchen. Her speech, "It feels good to use my brain", was fantastic,---and what being human is all about, to think, to use our brains, man or woman. I did not tell you what the story is about,---but it could be only about those 2 ladies as some of the best film has ever seen. That is the spirit we lost.
