Don't forget modern girls only know "McDonalds, charge they phone, twerk, be bisexual, eat hot chip & lie.”
I don't get it, both are cool?
It's over, I've already depicted you as dancing the Charleston
Honsetly the flapper is the kind of gal I'd be looking for anyway but there is nothing wrong with the gal on the left either. It's almost as if individuals should be left to make their own choices.
LOL, since fucking when did a woman who could tend farm ever wear dresses like the one on the left (more than, like, once in her life on her wedding day or something)?
Help manage her husband's antebellum plantation, maybe, but fieldwork? Hell, no.
Ya know, I'm not so sure that the old comic is necessarily just criticizing flapper girls. The way I understand the bottom text is "These are the qualities that women of these generations need to have to make men want to marry them", so I think it's also saying that the young men nowadays have wacky tastes as well.
If you want to be even more charitable, which is probably undeserved I know, there's nothing explicitly written in the comic to indicate that the artist thinks one side is necessarily better than the other, just that things are different now than they used to be. It's possible that it was created by a young guy who thinks the stuff on the left is lame and old fashioned and the stuff listed on the right kicks ass.
Fuck the manosphere though.
No “eat hot chip and lie?”??
Ayyyy lemme see that wise crack bby
They should kiss.
"Earn my own living" sounds great in this economy!
it's been a hundred years and still no Yuri of them??!!!??
I tell you society went downhill when ladies stopped playing the zither!
Why do you think the right has been trying to make the tradwife movement a thing? They yearn for a time when we were considered property.
Alright, who's gonna draw them kissing
I don't think you are doing half of that list while dressed like that
I dunno, this doesn't feel the same as more contemporary commentary.
There's no overt judgement call on display in this cartoon. Like pointing out that the older generation looked for women who could sew/cook, but the younger generation looks for women who can dance and mix drinks, isn't inherently saying that one is better or worse than the other. It feels more neutrally observational.
Comparisons that we see these days, have pretty overt messaging as to the negatives the author sees in some social trends. Like comparing a virginal trad wife to a slutty gender fluid rainbow, and saying the rainbow will be bored with you in bed cause she's had so many miles of dick that she barely notices yours.
Admit it, you had to search "zither".
Seems pretty evenhanded to me.
*Edited the absolute garbage title that I had for this post at first.
anyone else irked that the flapper column doesn't say "crack wise"?
It'd be amazing to have either one of those options.
Today it'd be:
Frankly from the behavior I've seen from human men... well, Earth would probably be better if they were all eradicated. And I say that as a human male.
