    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.
