True, but you still have to see it in the context of the time. Browsing some forums when reading up on this, there was someone saying that she used to work in a shop on Saturdays in the 70s. The shop owner decided to grope her one day, and she told him not to touch her. She was fired the next week, and didn't dare tell her parents the reason, because she felt they wouldn't believe her. Now, obviously, this is purely anecdotal, but it does indicate that the mood over sexual abuse at the time simply wasn't comparable to what it is these days.
