For those women and girls born after the mid 70s...
this is what your mothers and females lived with and had to look forward to...before. And it's what the Grand Old Party, many religions and even some Democrats want to return to today. And these may be the least offensive of what was actually out there.
Excerpt from The Who
We Don't get fooled again!
...And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no
Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Don't let history repeat!

Or a Coca Cola Douche?
See? You don't need a Doctor for your Woman's Problem.
I bet RFKKK has some advice he's ready to share about your Lady Parts.

I'm speechless and horrified.
The "good old days"? My Polish dupa. Who the hell longs for this? I know, I know.

And make no mistake, this crap, and even further back, is what those woman-hating scum want.

(441 posts)This is the largest selection of truly appalling anti-woman ads I've ever run across! Corporations really doubled down on the gaslighting. Why not? It was good for their bottom line!
This is an accurate portrayal of the kind of life talibangelists, xthian nationalists and maga-fascists want to corral women into!
RESIST!!

This is the world that begat us.
No wonder we're so Fucked Up.
It takes more than a lifetime to overcome this type of programming.

(5,325 posts)Plus women did not have much of a choice. Even most factories did not hire women and if they did, they paid them half of what a man earned for the same job. Women could not get a credit card unless a man signed for her. It was legal to beat you wife because she was "your property". Thankfully I was raised in a household where my dad would never lay a hand on my mother. He knew better.

One particular one allowed a husband to beat his wife, for just about any reason, so long as the stick was LESS than 18 inches! And there was no limit to the number of times.
When you only read one book (or choose to) you have no idea what else to believe.
Too much religion taken for truth and reality. Too much religioin usurped by zealots and greed.
But the main takeway is, don't think for yourself, we'll do it for you...just like the Republicans today.
Evangelicals and believers are just sheep being constantly sheared until they are no longer needed.
Thanks churches.
