Everything about this is gross. It’s a good post, OP, but today it’s hard being a woman in the US & seeing half the population thinking that this is how it should be.
Or it could be a joke picture with some people having fun. Is there some context I'm missing?
In the US, a heavily misogynist candidate recently won the presidential election, along with a heavily misogynist party that has a very "Let's go back to the Good Ol' Days, when Men Were Men and Women Knew Their Place" sort of thinking.
It's a neat photo of the 70s, and it may not even be that any of the participants in the photo meant it in anything but a joking way, but I definitely get why, in context, some may find it... uncomfortable.
Oh no, I totally get it. I'm just trying to see some bright spot in these dark times. The vibe of the picture is fun, and I hope the people in it were having fun. I'm overly cynical by nature, so I'm trying to not jump to horrible conclusions with everything I see, because it was really effecting my mental health.
The people in it were having fun. And I believe the gentleman was a good guy. I’ll get some more context for y’all soon.
Lighten up.
well, two women hadn't run for president as the democratic nominee, both losing to the same fascist that ripped away women's control of their own bodies yet, but you're right, totally gross. oozing with grossness. so glad it's less gross now.
Alternate take: We should learn from history, and not pretend it didn't happen. Especially now.
