    one of the Good subs was called 100YearsAgo, people post HQ scans of old newspapers and photos from today in 1923. it’s very fascinating seeing how language changed / didn’t change, the attitudes around politics, women, prohibition, the minimum wage, etc

      You mean the part where most women I know get harassed or groped when they go clubbing, and bars letting only men do rounds to retrieve glasses since the women get groped to the point they cannot work?

      Yeah, no, way easier.

        Just to be pedantic: they have it easier now. They are allowed to vote for example. But we are obviously not “there” yet, as your example vividly shows.
