Saturday Sexism #3

The Fifth Season, 1970s



GUY paragraph: He cares for the good things in life.  He's an achiever.  He's confident.  He likes his clothes smooth, sexy, comfortable -- masculine.  (Isn't is sad to make that dash carry all that implication?)

GAL paragraph: She makes the right decisions about her man, about her looks, about her clothes.

ugh, they're both ghastly.  Not enough strikeout in the world for JUMPSUITS.*

I've seen a guy in a bear suit before, but not a bear in a guy suit! Aaagh, the HAIR, it's EVERYWHERE!!!

He is just SOOOOO unappealing.

Oh girl, LOOK AT YOUR CHOICES.

Because nothing about this screams "right decisions".

What, you mean the paisley wallpaper? Or the macramé plant hanger?

My dad actually wore these back in the 70's he had a bright yellow one and my cousin refused to call him anything other than Uncle Banana

They do look like they're wearing mechanic overalls.

I can not see this without remembering the Venture Bros episode of the dad buying a son one of these in pink while he protests lol and thinking of trendy girls wearing jean and velour versions of these in highschool!
I mean, I knew they were real, in theory, but.... seeing them advertised... i just... *~~ x_x

The 70's - A decade I am glad I was a child in, not an adult.

[tlachtga.livejournal.com]

Wow. All I can think of is Freaks and Geeks. Poor Sam.

I bet they have a circular water bed with a mirrored ceiling!

It seems like everyone everywhere had a hard on in the 70s at all times. The caption sure reads like before and after sex, especially with that porn face on the guy. It seemed so 'hip' back then. Now it seems so lame.

[bluebear2.livejournal.com]

Actually it's hip again now. Just look at the 20 year olds. They look just like this guy.

Anyone notice the price - pretty 'spensive for those days.
