Don’t forget modern girls only know "McDonalds, charge they phone, twerk, be bisexual, eat hot chip & lie.”
LOL, since fucking when did a woman who could tend farm ever wear dresses like the one on the left (more than, like, once in her life on her wedding day or something)?
Help manage her husband’s antebellum plantation, maybe, but fieldwork? Hell, no.
The cartoonist probably looked at some old family photos, saw his grandmother dressed up for a formal portrait, and thought it was everyday clothing. Early photographers used to keep nice clothes on hand for customers to pose in, so the clothes may not even have been hers.
I don’t get it, both are cool?
Yeah, that happens a lot with regressive nutjobs. They’ll describe utopia as if it’s the apocalypse and assume you’ll agree with them.
I would say that the point is this kind of sentiment from the manosphere, for example just these quotes by Andrew Tate:
Look familiar? Good for you if you get to live your middle upper class cottagecore dream with a hipster lumberjack that brings home everything you’ll ever need. That definitely sounds pretty awesome.
But mostly this is about control and power of men over women, especially for women that aren’t in the economic class to get to have shelves of unread books and the luxury of spending all of their time doing arts and crafts and making tiktok videos.

Im not super clear myself on OPs comment, but I believe they are just making a connection between what the comic is trying to do and what andrew tate is trying to do. Both are trying to demonize women, but due to the comics age it simply falls flat in the modern age.
One of each, then!
Ya know, I’m not so sure that the old comic is necessarily just criticizing flapper girls. The way I understand the bottom text is “These are the qualities that women of these generations need to have to make men want to marry them”, so I think it’s also saying that the young men nowadays have wacky tastes as well.
If you want to be even more charitable, which is probably undeserved I know, there’s nothing explicitly written in the comic to indicate that the artist thinks one side is necessarily better than the other, just that things are different now than they used to be. It’s possible that it was created by a young guy who thinks the stuff on the left is lame and old fashioned and the stuff listed on the right kicks ass.
Fuck the manosphere though.
It’s over, I’ve already depicted you as dancing the Charleston
And I’ve depicted myself as the noble Zither player
And playing bridge??
*clutches pearls*
Honsetly the flapper is the kind of gal I’d be looking for anyway but there is nothing wrong with the gal on the left either. It’s almost as if individuals should be left to make their own choices.
No way. People like different things? Impossible.
No “eat hot chip and lie?”??
Ayyyy lemme see that wise crack bby
I tell you society went downhill when ladies stopped playing the zither!
it’s been a hundred years and still no Yuri of them??!!!??
They should kiss.
Why do you think the right has been trying to make the tradwife movement a thing? They yearn for a time when we were considered property.
Definitely. It’s the gateway. And a complete fantasy apart from maybe a few well off influencers living the dream without abuse and other.
But I mean, you just need to delve into mainstream social media occasionally to see what the men on the manosphere side of this reactionary conservative movement really think and openly say when they’re attacking feminist pages daily.
Any gen Z women that get lured across the line from cottagecore to tradwife are in for a hell of a fucking time with these broccoli top little nazi gen Z boys.
“Earn my own living” sounds great in this economy!
Alright, who’s gonna draw them kissing
I don’t think you are doing half of that list while dressed like that
