This isn’t as appallingly sexist as I expected it to be
A lot of the conversations we have today are the same that people have been having for generations. It still seems anachronistic to read sometimes though.
Like complaining about how children act, or how no one wants to work anymore. Or how the politicians have lost their minds.
I was watching something from the late 60s the other day, and there was a line by a young actress explaining that young people don’t think there will be a future for them and are living accordingly.
It was the exact same sentiment you would expect to see while doom-scrolling today.
I mean…
Basically every generation since the boomers had valid reason to believe WWIII would end us all. Everyones got nukes, and humans are stupid enough to use them!
Some degree of regression is less a matter of if than when unless our species can get its shit together. Look how hard COVID hit many parts of the world. While bad, it could easily have been much more serious. Imagine what the world would have looked like then.
politicians have lost their minds.
Hey! Whoa! Uncool!
Don’t bring ME into this! I’m not a politician!
Yeah! What are you? Some kind of Monster?!
Wait a minute…
you left your mind at the park. it’s been eating ice cream all weekend
Tbf these days those gripes are more valid than they have ever been. The children are mindless robots who commit crimes just to broadcast it on tiktok. The politicians are turning into literal nazis and wrecking the country on every feasible level. And “no one wants to work” not because of the tiresome nature of the grind, but rather because we are working for less buying power than what 12 year old child laborers had in the 50s. Not to mention the environment is going to shit for the benefit of a handful of people, and were all probably gonna die in one horrific natural disaster or another
Good points. I’m still not going to blame the kids for being put into this environment that influences them to do things. Children tend not to be bad at the start, they just learn that behavior. Just like racism or other terrible things. And the phrase “No one wants to work” is usually best followed by things like “in these conditions” or “for little compensation”. Damn right.
Just proves to me that humans won’t ever learn
Yeah, if it used gender-neutral language, most of it would be solid relationship advice.
The only one that’s particularly awful is the demand for wives to scamper to the door when the husband arrives, like a good little housepet. 🤮
Yeah, I think with a minor revision, that one would be okay. Just like, if you’re a stay-at-home mom or something, when your husband gets home, holler out to him, greet him, let him know where you are, you know, let him know he’s welcome to be home, something like that.
My ex-wife was a stay-at-home wife, and when I got home she would say, “Hey” to me and it was nice to be greeted when I got home.
Yeah, that’s much more reasonable. Basically, “Show your partner you care that they’re there”.
In the 1920s… moms were not “stay at home moms” they were “housewives.” There is a difference. Men were not expected to assist in the house… nor in the parenting unless there was discipline to be meted out.
I was a young child in the 1960s and was put to bed right after we had a family dinner at 7 pm. My contact with my father involved welcoming him home (literally jumping from the top of the stairs in our split level) and having dinner in my nightgown at the kids table and kissing every one goodnight and going to sleep… and that was on the the nights he came home at a decent hour.
My mother was responsible for the house upkeep, laundry, meals, food and she did extra little jobs for such luxuries as a new wash machine, a piece of furniture, our doctor and dentist bills and keeping the home in cigarettes and scotch. Because if they were not there… she had hell to pay from Dad. Occasionally, she would have to write a check for them for which he berated her for.
Absent of the gender assumption, it’s good advice for any spouse to greet their partner when they come home. There’s a good chance that they’ve been working and being welcomed home can relieve a lot of the stress that builds up from being out of the house. It makes one feel like one has come home, rather than just come back to a place where one can take off one’s shoes.
It doesn’t say “greet”. It says “listen for the latchkey and meet him on the threshold”. That’s demented. And I already agreed with bizarroland, so not really sure what your point is here.
I just want to know… who does not greet their partner when they return home? I take the advice there as a more servile action… like bringing slippers and a cocktail dressed up with heels and full make up? I mean, in the 1920s, many women worked. So maybe this is advice for the upper middle class that hire housemaids?
i’ll be honest, i like when my wife greets me at the door when i get home. I like when my cats greet me at the door when i get home. likewise my wife really likes when the cats, or more importantly i greet her at the door (as it’s a sign i’m having a good enough day to get up). we’re usualy excited to see each other. but it’s not a habit anyone but the cats have.
I work from home and if I’m able to right when my wife gets home I’ll meet her at the door.
Eh. I’m a work from home house husband. I try to meet my wife by the door when she gets home. We have dogs so it’s pretty easy for me to tell when she pulls up.
I think the problem comes when the spous feels entitled to the treatment which is different.
Working for pay from home is different than working without pay from home in the power dynamic. Especially in a time when women could not legally have their own bank account without their husband cosigning and having access.
This is from a time when only one of the members of a house had to work.
Yeah, as a dude I would hate that. Give me a minute to decompress.
“Even a wife is an individual”. Wait what.
Well…I mean she is…
My work colleagues are fucking morons.
For real. My wife is more intelligent than my entire department combined
so like, i used to belong to a cult. they had this “what should you be looking for in a spouse” lesson and I mentioned I was looking for someone intelligent, as someone who couldn’t keep up with me would be boring. i practically started a riot. like, sign a million that cult was not for me.
One of the many myriad things I adore about my wife is that she will ask me questions about things to understand them better. To the point where she’s made me look up sources and challenge and sometimes change what I know to be true.
Oh God, I fucking love that for you
nice name
Well by that logic, so is your wife.
Why would you insult her like that?
The devoid of color is ageless
That is me. I have a poor sense of color and have needed to be restrained in the past.
Jokes on my wife though because her sense of pitch is shaky, while I sure can sing.
Then again, she’s an artist and I’m a musician. She has taught me how to avoid the really bad combinations and some theory of color while I have taught her to stay on pitch when there’s a background voice doing something else.
That’s right lady’s! Don’t let your man leave the house with brown boots and a black belt. Use the belt and restrain him until he gets his color’s right!
;)
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You will be surprised how she expands
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)
*boot’s
*get’s
Boots 'n gets
Boots 'n gets
Boots 'n gets
My idiot brother is going through a divorce right now. I reeeealy want to send this to him
I want to hear more details.
Clearly he wore green and purple.
Well that’s clearly on the wife for letting him leave the house like that.
He cheats, his wife is mean all the time, in front the of the kids. They married when nether was mature enough for it. Both families warned them not to but they kept playing the most dysfunctional game of house ever. It’s like watching a white trash, and possibly autistic, reality show.
Oh god it just keeps on getting worse. He’s already found someone new. His wife’s best friend. I just can’t with this kid.
These are all don’ts. Where are some of the do’s?
I’m actually surprised some of the don’ts for the husbands are good advice.
I remember reading that these were written by a woman, so there was less misogyny.
Some of them are don’t do this followed by what to do.
Surprisingly not the blatant misogyny I expected given the title
Though the typography has me feeling this is a potentially bit more modern than 1913, however I’m not quite sure when this sort of sans-serif tabloidy style became prevalent, so I could be completely off the mark.
It’s apparently legit and from a British author named Blanche Ebbutt.
don’t know about the tabloidy style but grotesque types started in the 19th century. makes sense that it would be popular enough in the early 20th century, leading into art deco, which is mostly associated with sans serif types.
The typography in the picture is not from 1913. It is modern. The text may be transcribed from a 1913 text, but it would not have looked like that in the slightest.
Edit: Someone posted the link, it is from a 2007 edition of The Daily Mail.
You are correct. The typograhpy in the picture is completely modern. It may be a transscription from a 1913 text, but the picture doesn’t show a 1913 text, and there is no source given, so you are right to be suspicious.
This is too damn woke for MAGA
that’s terrifying. imagine walking into the kitchen at midnight and just seeing the eyes and teeth
Imagine being black and seeing that as an example of racial bias that’s politically correct enough in that time and place to be featured in an ad. If that’s an example of an organization putting its best foot forward, I hate to see what’s going on behind closed doors. Now that’s terror.
Pfah! I sneer at your bridge-playing!
Margaret handed you your ass every week for the last month! You can’t take tricks for shit.
This is… pretty solid honestly. Is there more of a list? With the Do’s?
AI slop, look at the woman’s hand and mans’ toes.
She has 5 fingers and he has 5 toes (small toe is squished from side angle, it looks split because of the grain in the photograph).
But also, it would be a weird detail to include what looks like a Windows XP mouse in grab mode in the center above the photo.
The outfits also look normal and accurate for the time period, as are the poses.
Even if this was actually generated by AI (and reiterating it really doesn’t look like it was in this case), there would still need to be a lot if photoshop involved to make the image look like that, because AI generates old pictures too “cleanly”, and it’s still not good enough to render that much text in that style, that uniformly in a box.
I swear y’all are like evangelicals saying there’s demons in teletubbies and Pokemon cards are tarot now. If you think everything is a demon you’ll find them.
Edit: and just to really prove I’m right, Tineye shows multiple copies of this image, with the oldest one going back to 2016:

I can’t excuse those hands but those toes look perfectly normal you mongel. Yes they do look way too much like my toes so I’m taking this personally shutupfightme
You have six toes?
The guy in the picture also doesn’t, so why do you bring it up?
Stop thinking everything is freaking AI you dumb fuck.
If you were intelligent enough to zoom in you could tell he does. Dumb fuck
Manliness is not purely a physical quality
Surprisingly accepting of trans men for that era
Which AI wrote this? I have doubts about the authenticity…
Fucking Tineye shit before going on witch hunts y’all luddites:

I finally figured out what’s annoying about y’all. Y’all don’t hate the tech for the legitimate reasons to hate it, y’all hate it blindly without understanding it and now start to witch hunt on anything you think is AI, even though your analysis is about as good as a life time vegan’s accessing whether something tastes like steak.
Recently read a horror webcomic where the comments were fool of people hating on the artist because they accused them of using AI. The artist had to release a YouTube video showing he got the uncanny valley effect of his art by using hand made 3D models and then painting over them in 2D with a 3D art style because they were getting mass reported on webtoon.
I think I’m more sick of the dumb bandwagoning and hypocrisy (referencing some recent posts of people against AI but still using Google search for example) of many of you anti-AI people than I am of AI memes. And it’s really annoying to say that.
Just, freaking learn how it works first and use tools like Tineye before making accusations will ya?

Urgh, there’s nothing worse than AI techbros strawmannnig the shit out of their beloved slop.
You even click the link? The image is from 2016, before AI image gen could render something like this, dumdum.
Yet already people were / you are hating on this image because some of y’all thought /think it was AI.
I read that first one for the missus as " listen for his lechery " and thought I was in for a wild ride.
Looks like 2 lesbians lol
I legit thought the one on the left was “the wife” until I looked to the right. The sections being under the “wrong” person didn’t help either.
Obvously that would be fine if they were, but I doubt the people who made this would think that wayEdit - after properly reading it, it’s more wholesome than I thought it would be.
