Where did you dig that up, from the National Enquirer? Posted for sensational effect for sure. Well that is one thing that hasn't changed, sensational journalism.
By the looks of it, is looks like a newspaper clipping.

Like I said, I was there, you're wrong. Those sexist attitudes were everywhere.

Sexism was rampant in the 50s, and before. Like everything else, this was an attitude of "know your place", so it wasn't talked about much. In the 60s, people questioning these attitudes started to reach critical mass.

Agreed. My mother tells me stories all the time about the misogynistic and sexist attitudes that were omnipresent during her youth.
It still baffles my mind that my university, (along with most other elite colleges), did not accept women until 1970. Further, they were treated with hostility here until the late 1980s.
In terms of the spanking debate, a quick Google search found this content, which, highlights the type of mindset held back in the days when this was clearly a 'man's world' where, of course, the male knew best...

I was too young to know her, but my father's mother jumped off a bridge in the 1950's to get away from the constant mental (and physical) abuse from my grandpa. I did know him and he was a miserably person, critical of everyone and everything.

It was actually a clipping from the New York Daily Mirror, which has had a long life in several incarnations.
The New York Daily Mirror started in 1924 and ceased publication in 1963. In a bit of poetic justice for them the building where the Daily Mirror was published Martin (who interviewed these men) lived is now the offices of the ACLU.
Note that the name rights to the Daily Mirror were acquired by their rival the Daily News when they closed in 1963.

Really? Have you forgotten the spankings that Ricky gave Lucy on I Love Lucy? No one raised an eyebrow when those episodes aired because a man treating his wife like an errant child was totally acceptable behavior.

I'm sorry, that's incredibly sad.
It makes me appreciate the slow changes over time that have led to improvement on this end. It's still present to a degree, but nowhere like I've heard it once was.

You think it's better now? I think women are treated worse now, but that is my opinion.
