It's a real pity that hats went out of style and then were appropriated by internet edgelords, I'd love to be able to wear one without looking like I read Ayn Rand and post about Men's Rights on Reddit Maybe when I'm like 70 or so, as you get old you get license to wear whatever the gently caress you want I think

This duck reminds me that a friend of mine who loves rubber bucks had one in her toilet that was black and its theme was iron crosses and the number 8. She had no idea.

I you watch some of the earliest film footage from the very beginning of the 20th century, you can see that most if not all working class women would be wearing headscarves outdoors. It’s very odd.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Didn't have equal pay til 1975, married women expected to give up work on marriage or within a year or two. There is a short series of novels by Jane Grant starting with Come Hither, Nurse, that were probably intended as romances, but instead turned out as a thinly-fictionalized account of the author's time as a student nurse at a London hospital in the early 50s. Apart from the medical changes (there's one particularly harrowing chapter spent in a TB ward), this attitude to marriage really stands out. There's a successful, highly-ranked surgical nurse who's getting married to some doctor, of course she's giving up her career and going to become a housewife, that's just what you do.

It really does suck that MRAs have ruined hats for all other men. And kinda funny that in doing so, they've given women hat privilege, because we can still wear whatever hats we want.

It’s very odd. You don't need to go back that far, it was definitely still a thing well into the 70s. There's quite a few reasons why and they waxed and waned - women would tend to wear them when doing housework and anyone working with machinery would wear one of course, or if it was windy or raining, and (particularly after the war) because perms were expensive and damaging so they'd just keep their curlers or rollers in during their downtime to avoid having to have one. It lasted way longer than the tradition/fashion of men wearing hats, it just doesn't get mentioned for the obvious reason.

Still feeling remarkably optimistic all things considered. BoJo's gonna pre-empt the banging vonc with an election call, the Labour ground force will roll into action while the Tories will still overestimate how big evil shits they can get away with being. Labour/SNP deal will give us a remain/deal referendeum which remain will win by 8-10 points and it'll be back to pavillion in time for tea and socialism

It’s very odd. Throughout the 19th and well into the 20th centuries, it was basically mandatory to wear some kind of head covering whenever you left the house. It wasn't illegal not to wear a hat (in the same way that it's not illegal today to walk down the street smartly dressed but with no shoes or socks on) but if you didn't you'd get a lot of double-takes, comments from strangers: "think you've forgotten something, mate!" and people might even think you were a bit wrong in the head. In fiction of the period, if a character, shocked by a piece of news, "rushes hatless into the street" it's intended to indicate that they're so overwhelmed that they've forgotten the usual social niceties.

jaete posted:Boris Johnson: no deal would mean UK did not owe Brexit divorce bill I realise it's more of a political talking point than an actual sum, but we've already paid about £5bn of the divorce bill because some of it was to cover our contributions during the withdrawal period when we'd still have membership benefits. If we wait until there's a brexit plan we might not owe anything.

I'm very sceptical about the likelihood of a vonc passing, but there's nothing else that can be done, & I'm optimistic about our electoral chances after Johnson fucks everyone. Just feel bad for the people getting hosed in the meantime also caps (non-baseball) are cool, & I'm not above wearing a panama hat if I'm on holiday somewhere sunny

It will improve lives, but it could fatally wound Corbynism by giving a clear cut example of when they weren't on the side of the many. To counteract the immediate point about it still being a democratic decision because it went to referendum - yes but the force behind there being a second vote is not being led by obvious popular action - it's parliament itself which has put all the pressure on having a second referendum backed up by legal challenges from very rich individuals and that's a very bad look for a mass political party to give in to. The best outcome is Labour taking us out of the EU with a deal that gives some level of autonomy on capital controls and better allowances for directed state spending back to the UK but without just immediately dumping us onto the global landscape, everything else is just a different sized disaster.

(Almost all female methods of contraception require medical practitioner involvement - I can't actually think of any that don't). All the really reliable male methods require surgical involvement though, and they spend longer trying to convince men to leave it up to women than the procedure itself takes.
