Good thing we've moved on....

Can't believe this is how women were perceived only 55 years ago. :s

That fire sounds pretty good...those were the days hehe.

I dont think society can ever go backwards so to speak but you have to keep in mind the male / female dynamic that is reflected in the OP's image got human society this far and was the norm for a vast amount more time then our current state has been. I see the op has a sadface emote there and I guess the point is I don't think you can ascribe good or evil to a state of being that stemmed out of an evolutionary need.

It is certainly important for us to snooze on with our heads in the clouds and completely and forever ignore X yrs of bio-genetic wiring and concomitant social structures and pay no attention whatever to addressing the emergence of new sociological imperatives (?) and conscious development of strategems more appropriate to a more orderly and less chaotic transition than the complete mess we've got on our hands now. I know that this is way too frightening to contemplate. So, brothers and sisters, dream on and watch the dissolution of our social fabric (piece by piece) with nothing to take its place except... nothingness. Then, Then we can all join in celebrating our... victory? over? But, on the bright side we can see the amorphous globs we've all become. (Moorings? who needs 'em).

Just remember 10 years before that picture this was women ,

Filling in the jobs while their men were off to war.

And for another blast from the past-

40 years before that image-

World War 1

This is a page right out of the Mormons Sunday school lessons. :laugh:

[The Laughing Man]

And now look at the divorce rates.....

[Hum]

^ Yeah, if the wife would only be a careless bitch, divorce would come down. ;)

[Aethec]

And that's why you don't take people who want to go back to the "good old times" seriously...not sure it's a joke or funny though.

Authenticity

Investigations propose that the guide may be a hoax. According to snopes.com, the wording "The Advertising Archives" located on the right side of the image suggests a fraud, since the Archives itself was not started until 1990.Additionally, the image used is claimed to be from a 1957 cover of John Bull magazine.The "Good Wife" version of this image appears to be cropped just below where the textbox containing the words "WOMAN AT THE WHEEL" appeared on the John Bull cover image. Finally, when viewed with increased contrast, square boxes are seen around all the listed points. This would only be made if created digitally and then selectively copied into the seen "magazine" format. One source claims that the text of this article has been circulating since at least the 1980s via fax. Others have claimed that the article is real. However there was no magazine called Housekeeping Monthly, also the fact that the article mentions "make him a fire" questions its authenticity; even in 1950 many houses didn't have open fires.

Most of it is BS I'm sure! Not all, but most of it!

I think there is some validity to those days... Many couples from back then were married until death.

Nowadays most couples are likely to divorce within 10 years.

[*RedBull*]

Yeah because people don't have morals or values. That's what you get for a valueless world. Deal with it. Now Homosexuals are getting married to increase the divorce rate....lol.

This make me think of the movie Pleasantville.... "Honey I'm home!"

[simplezz]

I'm all for a fair society, but damn, men had it good back then :p

[rhianntp]

yet somehow they all survived and and raised well adjusted kids...or you wouldnt exist.... when society loses its roles for people it breaks down... that is where we are today.. running amuck ..this example is an extreme , life today is the opposite extreme and just as damaging if not more..
