Here let me generalize the 1950s.
Rollerblading vinyl records elvis civilized adults hating him priests hating his pelvic based dancing old diners milkshakes high school and slow jazz that is boring.
Technically women ARE trophies.
Look at any man. Ugly wife? His life must suck.
Bitchy wife? His life must suck.
Beautiful wife? Lucky motherforgeter.
Great personality wife? Really great.
Elvis didn't really become the idol he was until the late 50s to the mid 60s. Only small sections of Jazz were ever slow. The 30s and 40s, Big Band became huge, seeing as it was right at the edge of the Swing Era. The 50s were a very peaceful time as, behind racial segregation, nothing was really going on. They were out of the depression, the riots had settled down, protests hadn't been started up. Television, as we know, reflects the age that we are in. Shows of that time were typically very lighthearted yet groundbreaking with shows starting up like I Love Lucy or the Ed Sullivan Show. Music was the same, as I said. More about happiness and Love. What songs were deeply meaning, typically involved looking deeper into the good in the world instead of cursing at the evils.
If anything, Frank Sinatra would be a more actuate depiction for the time Dusty and I are talking about. I don't know about this age, though. :o
Also, women aren't trophies. They are people with just as much, if not more, capability as men to learn, work, and live.
Edit: AND VINYL RECORDS ARE AWESOME. :C
