ultralaser:note-a-bear:thedatingfeminist:witch-of-habonim-dror:fordeadmendeadlywine:yesterdaysprint:what would you think of a woman who addressed a club meeting of men by telling them how charming, how well gowned, how pretty, they were?This is why I really like books that are set in oldey times with people who have views like this, and why it annoys me when people say but that’s not historically accuratetbh, half the time ‘not historically accurate’ is code for ‘i wish things were still like my imaginary version of 19th century England only minus the cholera’This just makes me absurdly happy, especially because it’s written by a man calling out other men for this shit. “But they didn’t know better” you sure about that?dude was so mad about this he was snarking in all capsFor everyone wondering when this was from, it’s the July 22, 1909 edition of the Corsicana Daily Sun - Corsicana, TX. (It requires a log-in to see it in full, but you can just make out the headline & photo.) -- source link
