It was also helpful that this was all done during eras when women were stereotyped and stigmatized by media and enforced societal norms that we had no value or could be considered "attractive" unless we wore certain types and brands of clothing, we were expected to behave a certain way on and off cameras, and most of all to be submissive and provide for the home and children. That our main "job" and "goal" was to be the perfect housewife and that our "greatest joy" or "assets" came from our ability to use the newest *gasps* dishwasher while wearing heels. Thanks, 1950s.

Let me expand on how this is ahistorical bullshit. The 1950's were a time of massive empowerment and independence of women resulting from the war, really the two decades of war plus the depression, and this media was speaking to that. That dishwasher was part of it, it freed the woman from doing the dishes. This was great rather than "fuck you women do your role." The heels, that clothing, the hairstyles, etc. was part of it, they now had wealth to spend it on things they wanted to look good. You might be shocked by this since you don't bathe or anything but many women want to look good! The message wasn't STAY IN THE HOME AND BE A WIFE AND POP OUT BABIES because nobody would have even questioned that to need to be told that. The message was LOOK AT ALL THE SHIT YOU CAN DO NOW AND YOU SHOULD BUY OUR SHIT TO HELP. Look at the popular movies and how many are depicting "boring" housewives who stayed in their lane? How many of the movies women characters and the women movie stars were instead promoting independent women? I Love Lucy seventy years later might look like it's depicting a submissive cowed woman but for the time it was completely different!

Their literacy is steeped in such complete ignorance and backward looking from themselves as the place of final human perfection achieved if just stupid white cishet male society would catch up to them. They make up complete bullshit to try and look down on anyone else who is different from them and then decry those people for having different interests. Clearly nobody would choose different from me, they must be forced to do it, they can't have any agency of their own. Luckily unlike those morons I can think for myself so I know that's bullshit and the way to show it is to reflexively react to everything and take stark extreme stances to show my independence in choosing to be on the right side of history as proven by my conformity to a niche subculture. They have absolutely no interest in any perspective except their own which is chosen mostly to crow about their hubris about themselves. "Aren't I great? Don't I just care so much? Look at how much I tell other people to do what I want. I'm such a good person for caring enough to demand everyone do what I want. Hey, you there, are you reading a chud book? I'm hitting you for not just your own good but everyone's good."

No, they say, I know I'm on the right side of history because I completely wipe out and erase history then construct my own imagined utopia so I can dogmatically attack everything that ever exists as failing to join me on the right side of history. Can't they just do so? It's so easy. Just accept it. Accept it. ACCEPT IT. Why aren't you accepting it? You really want to deny me dignity and human rights that much?
