Women Lib to blame for Furgenson

according to a possible GOP 2016 Presidential contender, Ben Carson:

"I think a lot of it really got started in the '60s with the 'Me' generation. 'What's in it for me?'" Carson said. "I hate to say it, but a lot of it had to do with the women's lib movement. You know, 'I've been taking care of my family, I've been doing that, what about me?' You know, it really should be about us."

I think he's got it right with the 'Me' generartion - but the wrong target and wrong generation - he should be looking at the rise of the Republican , "I Got mine, tough shit for you" movement under Raygun.
