No pants, either. From Husband-Coached Childbirth. (1965) “I strongly feel that the current rash of vaginal infections is related to women dressing in men's-style clothing…Pioneer women wore long skirts with no underclothes and had far fewer bladder infections than modern women who wear slacks”
Lets not talk about some of the horrific things that women who survived child birth without a doctor’s help really did have to deal with… hell, sometimes the doctor made it worse!
Didn’t know this was a thing, but here’s a more recent one: the Spanish band Estopa, circa 2000: ‘Por la raja de tu falda, yo rompí un seat panda’ (‘Because of the slit in your skirt, I crashed my Seat Panda’): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wECwsE4yNSQ
Are you not convinced that young men pre-miniskirt-era would calmly discuss their modesty among themselves, as et was all that was on their virtuous minds?
Was denied a promotion.. til my vp called the idgit who was about to deny me, based on a skirt id worn at a trade show… (Bob Kibbe Porter Cable. My nemesis in life now) im his personal TROLL the rest of his fucking life..
I never considered that women's long skirts back in the day were performing the public service of buffering street noise ( like curtains they use in recording studios.) Did anyone consider asking the men to wear poufy pants when outdoors, just to take up some of the slack in noise reduction?
To be fair, if there are longer noises with short skirts, that might explain the drop in record sales ? Too much noise to listen to music anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, *all* types of clothing should be banned! There is absolutely no written record of crime, poverty, illness, halitosis, psoriasis, psychosis, auto accidents, cancer, or heart disease from the times before clothes were invented!
Dank boor alle alt teksten.
Weet je waarom mannen zelden voor ophef zorgen? Ze kleden zich over het algemeen genomen meestal erg saai. (Uitzonderingen daargelaten).
Pak en stropdas
Spijkerbroek en trui
Zo zo saai! Daar kijkt geen mens van op.
An adjacent story I love is how Irish civil rights activist Bernadette Devlin was named "Fidel Castro in a mini skirt", which conjures an incredible image. The press were obsessed with her miniskirts - not quite blaming them but definitely connecting them to her radicalism.
She's brilliant - she stepped back a bit (after being shot 9 times and surviving) but still appears at events focused on human rights, including abortion rights and Palestinian freedom 💖 https://youtu.be/oYGz32OAGto?si=ca8jHkM_UjmNwshR

Same as it ever was…always the fault of the girls.
I find your lack of faith very disturbing.
And the whole 'ungodly display of female ankles' thing is just... I can't tell whether I should laugh or become morbidly depressed.
My ankles, tempting men away from God! The TRAVESTY.
In the coming years.

Then they'd be correct.
