What was the role of men during the 1980s?
Many women had to become "supermoms". The cost of living had become difficult and caused many women to join the workforce. Many women also became career women and some even became CEO's of companies they either work for or started themselves. Many women had to become the primary bread winner because their marriages ended or they were raising kids on their own. Some women returned to school at many different ages. Some men became stay at home dads while the mom went to work at a career. Many women became workers in jobs that were previously held by men only. The military began changing what women could do in the military. Laws were changed to protect women, children and forced men to pay child support, never do sexual harassment. The women began to receive more of the respect and honor the women wanted from men. Equal pay did work out in some industries but in many businesses today equal pay for equal work has not happened yet.

Was Operation urgent fury necessary?
No it is possibly the most bizarre war in history. Operation to save medical students from a possible risk of hostage taking is the justification, most people would of chartered a jet if they were that concerned rather than launch an invasion and then take 2 days too work out where the campus was. Also the denial by Reagan to the British that they were invading having discovered that he had just accidentally declared war on the commonwealth.
Please also note that the POWs were Cuban construction workers and their families not special forces, and declaring six year old kids special forces is generally frowned upon by the international community. Please also note that the 'military installation' captured is still in use today , but it is neglected that it was being financed and designed by the british as aid for their tourism industry.
