Almost everything that is acceptable today (political correctness) was definitely taboo in the 1960's which is partly the reason the 60's had so much turmoil...that "political correctness" was trying to "break out" into society in the 1960's, and was clashing with the traditional American way of life.
Feminism (called the "Women's Lib Movement" during the 60's) & the Civil Rights Movement (racial integration), along with the growing same gender rights movement were clashing directly with traditional America...a traditional America which called for war against communism and the resulting war in South Vietnam. The new movement people of Feminism, Civil Rights, etc. wanted NO PART of the "traditional American's" war. Sometimes referring to the Vietnam War as the "White Man's War" by some of the Civil Rights people.
To simplify the answer: Almost anything that is acceptable today, was not acceptable during the 1960's. Almost anything that is NOT-acceptable today (smoking cigarettes for example) was totally acceptable in the 1960s.
