Men now or men in 1920? 🙈

@Eternity I’m often reminded of the eurythmics “some of them want to be abused “.

@Eternity Good points. Maybe good fashion but just as shit behavior. History repeats itself.

@Eternity that's assuming that every man was abusive back then. Every single man.

@SW-User it was socially acceptable, and it is human nature to take every liberty that one can, so yeah a LOT of men were like that. You'd be lucky to find one that wasn't.

@Eternity be lucky? I know there were that kind of men, but you're generalizing too much.

Give that a read if you're interested in facts not opinions

@Eternity it was interesting to read, yeah it was more normal back then but wasn't like everyone, every man used violence. Not everyone can be abusive, even if it's considered normal.
Also, violence exists in the present too, so it's not like it has disappeared and everything is perfect, though I agree that in the present women are more in charge of their own life. In the past the only option seemed to be a housewife and mother.

Anyway, men looked more elegant indeed.

@SW-User It wasn’t considered abusive, back then. [b]That’s [/b] the thing. It was "being a man who’s head of his household". The word "obey" was in the [b]woman’s[/b] vows back then. As long you did what you were told, when you were told, you might not have a problem. I remember when I was a kid, my grandmother would start to express an opinion counter to grandfather’s and he’d give her a [b]look[/b] that shut her right up. My father would glare at him and ask, "Maman, what were you saying ?" And my [b]mother[/b] says what she wants. Different generation.

@SW-User That’s the point of a generalization duh , he’s talking about the majority of men back then, not the minority. There’s always a minority in every society. And there’s always this annoying person to say “ not all are like that “ , of course not, but what are the statistics? The ratio? People who don’t get his comment have some reading and comprehension disabilities.

@bucktard as if pointing the other side of the coin isn't valid, I mean if you don't have anything else to do than giving judgemental opinions about a comment from ages ago that's sad.

@bijouxbroussard yeah I was stating that not everyone had the need to use violence when if it was acceptable, I know what you mean
