1961 women's employment - wow!

[ifIwerenotanandroid]

Someone found this letter in a house she bought, & posted it on X. I've never seen anything like that before.

This is why we should all listen to the generations who came before us: we may think we know what's what, but history can always surprise us. I've been amused by posters on X claiming this weekend that there have never been communal changing rooms for women in the UK & that no teenage girls ever went shopping with their friends for fun. As a member of the biddy mafia I know they're wrong but they're quite insistent, even the men.

Blooming heck re potentially terminating her employment in the future Esh Winning not far from me either

Read 'Weapons of Math Destruction'.

It's already been happening for a significant period of time, AI isn't the start of it.

Another thing that has come to light in the recent few years is that it was finally admitted that medical students had been traditionally trained to recognise symptoms based on how they affect men. This was still the case until relatively recently despite the fact that symptoms can present very differently in women. This would explain why gynaecological conditions are still very much the Cinderella of medicine and why many doctors still believe that women do not feel pain as intensely as men. I also read somewhat that in the earlier stages of developing Viagara, it was discovered that it was very effective in treating period pains. This part of the research was quietly brushed aside because, after all middle aged men’s need for sexual pleasure was far more important than an effective form of pain relief for something that affects half the population at some point in their lives. 🤷‍♀️
