I agree. My grandmother was not allowed to make decisions over her body, own a bank account, or work after marriage until the late 60s. For many of us, it's definitely a golden age of rights and possibilities.

I'm not Polish, and don't know much more than what's in this thread and in the post, but the world has changed a lot since the late 60's.

I'm not discounting the value of the good things you mention, but is there anything else to add to the 'golden age' description?

Suicide decriminalisation, abortion and euthanasia legalization, decriminalisation of homosexuality, same-sex marriage, gender recognition, disability rights, abolition of death penalty, indigenous rights and land sovereignty, probably a lot more. That's in the eighties, nineties and two thousands, depending on the country.
