Interesting and disturbing...

"A reminder that the tweets tonight will be a selection of 70s and 80s clippings where people joke about rape and sexual assault. It's really nasty stuff, so mute me or unfollow if you need to."

"I do think it's worth looking at, though, in the wake of the #metoo campaigns and #timesup, and all the other outrages against women and girls that we're currently watching unfurl."

"Why didn't people speak up earlier? Why weren't complaints taken seriously? Well, in part because for decades the abuse of females was dismissed as not particularly serious."

I love Volewriter's vintage mags threads! Although this one is particularly horrifying.

She did a great one on sports too

e.g. croquet ettiquette: Women often have no ready access to a coin and experience difficulty spinning a coin

I love her threads. Shows how openly women were hated so recently, not much has changed.
