That is not the intention of the meme, and not the way it's read. Are we supposed to also think that young girls wishing to go to college is also an equivalent to rape just because it's in the same panel? What sense is there to that? You have misinterpreted the meme. The meaning is as follows: the 50s sucked, gay men were forced to be in the closet, drug use was rampant, women's rights sucked, sexual abuse was unchecked, disease was rampant, etc. and everyone just pretended life was perfect.
