As for the real answer, it would be...right now. While some people fight against it, human rights are gaining ground and equality is more real now than it has ever been in the past. Medical technology has improved by leaps and bounds, and we make jokes about flu shots and stuff, but the flu was a seriously devastating and deadly disease before the modern era, which shows just how far we've come...same with polio being completely extinct naturally, and it was a HUGE deal in past eras.
We have great conveniences and wonders that have greatly improved the quality of our lives, and while other time periods would be neat to look at, I wouldn't want to live in those eras at all. So right now, this time period we live in, is my favorite.
Also, to be a bit of a jerk, I have to snicker whenever I see a female saying they want to live in any place or any time period before mid-1900s America. I'm sure being treated like property and having no rights would be a TON of fun. :p

Now, people are more aware of disabilities and we are able to get out and enjoy life in society instead of being cast out like lepers. Since the passage of the ADA in 1980, we now enjoy more rights, enabling us to gain employment (protecting from discrimination), access public accommodations, get an education and use adaptive equipment to help us get around (like service dogs.)
There are still people with that old mindset, but thankfully, they are the minority nowadays.

I'm still right about the toilet thing though. :p
