Here's a picture from one of my books toook photos of yesterday. This is from the 30s
That is really offensive. Many books from this era are perfect examples of what went wrong with us as a society.
I have a book from Eighteen eighty something that describes the proper raising of young, innocent girls (you have to get to them before they are first bleeding for your manhood) into subservient women who will always take NO for an answer and make a home for your children, doing a man's bidding with no questions asked. It has chapters divided into what to expect from them as they mature and how to counter their desires as they become a problem in their free thinking. The book is all about raising a woman to be simple, mindless arm candy and making sure that she has no voice in what becomes of her future.
Remember, in those days, women did not even have the basic privileges of land ownership or the vote, even in a society designed around an individual's right to vote. Women were considered to be less than "human" by the constitutional definition of human rights, from a century past. This amazing book even describes the things you can allow women to eat, so that they maintain a "healthy weight" and do not become useless from bony structure. You have to feed them large amounts of fat and cream in their daily diets, so they do not become too thin. You have to make sure that they are avoidant of work of any kind so that they can be "perfect soil for your young to grow" since that is the only reason reason for their existence - to bear you, as Barons and Lords, fine children to uphold the family name. A woman who bears a deficient child can be set aside with no accounting for her future. A woman that is a poor cook or a poor housekeeper can be set aside with no regard whatsoever.
If Tig was here, he would love this, but I find it so disgusting, that I feel a need to shoot all the fathers of those women from that era. Those bastards should be glad that they are already dead as fuck!!
Have I mentioned that I have a daughter of my own (no, that is wrong, she is NOT my own, she is more intelligent and far more aggressive than I ever was - she is her own, I just happened to be fortunate enough to be a father to her, as best as I can be.) I am pushing her, as hard as I know how, to be as forceful and as self sufficient as she can be. She will never be arm candy, unless she wants to be.
