The 1970s… some people romanticizing it because they think it’s cool and cheesy, kids are “latchkey” and no one trying to mind your manners. In reality drug abuse was really full-on, some US cities were plagued by crime in the open, there were all kinds of shock and gore movies, and sexual permissiveness is so low that even minors are not spared.
Magazines like that one are so much a reflection of the views of the time, and this article has the author alternately despising “mainstream” culture while simultaneously selling her as a sex object.
No one should wonder why some men “thriving” from that decade were really fucked up, now curb-stomping civil rights so that they could get their own “freedoms”.

One of the many reasons why I hate nostalgia.
I think it was when the gold standard ended, and poverty was rampant as all the debt unwound. Black unemployment was 30%.
