For some, this may be a hard to answer since times have changed but I would choose to be a female in the 1950's. This is because I would not mind to be the homemaker who cared for the children.
I do not know if this is because I am more of a nurturing person or if I just like staying home compared to others but I do not judge if your opinion is different. I respect that we all have different perspectives on topics. I just would imagine myself with many children and living that family suburban life.
I quite like how people in this decade wanted to stay in marriage for a long term commitment and did just that. I believe they had a pinning ceremony meaning it is a engagement gesture and for the purpose of marriage.
Although women in this era were about weight and exercise, it is not extreme as it is today. These ladies had healthy women barring bodies and seemed to be proud of it as well based on photos I have seen.
I am fond of the notion of being feminine and dressing this way. I like girly things, flowers, doing my hair and makeup, etc. The full or pencil skirts are what I would love to wear along with a button down or prim sweaters.
It is also great that they did not pride in showing so much skin either, I don't know if it is just me but I like to have more reserved clothing. It is just what makes me comfortable. I am not one to be showing off my body with how I looked as I came out of the womb.
Based on what people did in this decade I would want to experience going to the drive-ins, listening to Elvis music, and being a fun and rebellious teenager during this time.
In this era, it is all about being outside and doing activities with close loved ones and making good memories. Although this is my opinion, I am interested in hearing yours so, would you choose to be Male or Female in this time period?
