Daniel fmatosrivera No, some of them are definitely a bit to over emphasizing of the woman’s role in the household, such as saying that specifically sewing was a good skill to have for women. I guess overall its the framing of the information that makes it sexist. Since it is directly towards women, and not everyone, it shows the double standard more so then the information itself.
@@ericandreski3025 Even those werent exactly specific for women, the narrator just says that sewing is an activity she will likely enjoy in her old age, and the advice itself is just "make the most of what free time you have.". Not exactly sexist, though I think I see what you mean.
There's a lot of these on youtube and majority of them aren't sexist. They're teaching cleanliness, good manners, etc. to both young men and women. They're really interesting to watch.
You didn’t grow up as a female during this time. I did. The pressure on women was relentless and it still is, but it’s not a step away from being a social outcast from family and society like it was back then.
@@edl6398 I am old enough to have experienced some of these PSA type of films shown for health class in middle school. They were aimed at girls AND boys. Women were treated MUCH better 30 tears ago.
What's interesting is that there is good advice in here, like making sure to shower, making sure to wear clean clothes, making sure to eat food that will sustain you, making sure not to dominate a conversation, but it's a) all directed at women and b) it's all mixed in with horrible things like, "You have to be attractive for the men in the family," and "we wouldn't be women if we didn't worry about our figures."
What's your point? It's almost like it was PSA for women, directed at women. If you put down your victim shield you'll find identical PSA for men, directed at men.
Hang on. If a woman wasn't perfectly pressed and coiffed, she wasn't "the kind to make him behave like a human"? They wanted women to control men, but only if the woman looked tidy. That's a weird caveat.

That advertisement was sexist both ways. Mainly to the females because they had to dress a certain way to be acnolaged, but also to men because they had to be pervs. That ad, was probably the most sexist.
It's ironic that highly controlling people need their partner to do everything they want or their own mood is affected. A man who flies in a rage because his wife doesn't make dinner how he wants, is allowing himself to be controlled, too.
The women in my family back in the 40s and 50s were either short or tall, and skinny or fat, they're beautiful inside and out and the men back then treated them like queens.
@Lzb Lmvm Why did you feel the need to shame overweight women? I understand that obesity is unhealthy and people shouldn’t promote it, but most “fat” people didn’t chose to be that way.

This is of course to frame a certain narrative. As "NowThis News" is a progressive and feminist jukebox, it has to belittle women, like all of these NGOs and networks, it creates it's own misery - no matter if you want to "safe" "blacks", rhinos or women - to heroically step in and cash that in later. Boys where beaten more often and had to behave in a different - also sexist - way, the sexes shared their fair share of misery.
When articles are written advicing men to take a shower to attract women that's ok, it is even ok to imply the reason men don't get dates is because they don't shower, when women are told to get a shower that's somehow misogyny...

The society is not done yet. Feminism hasn't help more than 30% of these sexist problems, it's hard trying when people keep tying their ideology back to the 1900s when the misogyny is very strong
They were cherry picking in these clips as I have seen the full videos. There are videos that address the men just the same way on hygiene, manners, and attractiveness. The majority of them really are not being sexist just to the girls. The boys get an earful too. If you watch these old videos they would encourage people to work together in family units being mindful of each other and the community at large, working productively, and balancing home life with work/school life. I think it is great that people used to put more pride in how they looked. It isn't pleasant walking around in public nowadays when people do not take pride in their appearance or hygiene quite often.
I don't feel like all of these things are sexist, more like just the tone it's conveyed it. Cause, I mean, eating right, showering, and wearing clean clothes are definitely important...
It's sexist when it's only adressed to women and women are told to do so to please men. It wouldn't be sexist if the advice was given to all genders. What's also sexist is to show a young man with a book as attractive and a young woman with a book unattractive.
Babe... ur dumb. its about that women HAD TO do it in that time. They were seen like they were only usefull for cooking, cleaning and making childeren. Look the video again and educate urself please-
@@helgaioannidis9365 They weren't only addressed to women. The video comes from a PSA called "Body Care and Grooming," which gives advice to both men and woman throughout its whole duration. Also the woman is still holding the book in her "ideal" appearance, so I don't think it's implying that women shouldn't be reading or anything.
I’ve seen a number of these PSAs/single reel “educational films” right here on TH-cam, and I gotta say, most of the clips chosen were pretty mild! There are other scenes which were easily more egregious than these. Also: I’d like to mirror what another commenter mentioned: it’s appreciated by almost everyone that people of all/any genders shower and wear clean undergarments.
2:18 Actually this is great advice in my opinion; don’t let your emotions be controlled by others people’s bad moods . Letting other people’s moods (drastically and constantly) alter your personal emotions is actually a sign of codependency, which is an unhealthy coping symptom often used by victims of abuse and/or trauma
I agree with your opinion and I totally understand it. But the only thing that turns me off with the situation shown is the fact that they just shoved the responsibility to the wife to remain as calm and collected as much as she can without telling the same thing to the husband. It is just okay if the husband shows some emotions like anger, but the wife is prohibited to do so. It's like they are trying to emphasize that women can not retaliate to men and instead of controlling their anger they will rather shove it to women to release their frustration. That's why domestic violence was quite common at that time. Again, it was never a good thing to add fuel to the fire, but the example given in the video just feels very sexist to me. It should be applied to both genders and not just to women.
@@wendyjung4616 Seriously! True nobody should lash out in anger but there are situations where it's ok to be angry. We're human and have emotions. This was just telling women to be compliant little dolls.
"The women seem to feel they owe it to the men of the family to look pretty and relaxed at dinnertime" Why? This was the cringiest thing in the video. If your brother or dad needs you to look pretty while they nosh on their meatloaf, find a new family. The rest I can overlook or even support to a point. But not that one, especially stated smugly by the male voiceover.
What are day time clothes? Did people wear clothes in the morning then changed to evening clothes then nightwear? Lol no ones got the time. Sorry if I have something to say, I’m gonna monopolize the conversation especially if it’s important.
Back then a woman would wear whatever during the day, but put on a nice dress for dinner time, where the whole family would eat together. It wasn't like June Cleaver in a dress and pearls all day while vacumning. That's just on TV. They didn't wear pajama bottoms or leggings out in public. People cared about their appearance.

Really though what is wrong with encouraging women to take care of themselves and look presentable, men were encourage to do the exact same thing. Personally I much prefer how women use to dress to how we dress now, why are trainers, pants, and slouchy unfitted clothes any better for us. I also like how smart men use to dress.

I'm not sure these should be a thing of the past. Update them as they apply to both sexes. I mean these are called good manners and habits. Something many people have forgotten lately.
Yes, telling ladies to dress for their men, hide their emotions like stress and put on a relaxed face to make someone else happy. And don’t forget to make losing weight a priority. That has nothing to do with manners. And the fact is, this wasn’t aimed at men. That’s the point🤦🏽♀️ clearly one that flew right over your head. Some people are too stupid to even try to educate.
@@fashiondiva6972 Yes, we know it *WAS* aimed at women. That's why I said update it for both sexes.

"notice how the mother becomes angry because of Jeff's anger......perhaps she shouldn't because, etc, etc" Ah, so Jeff can get as emotional as he wants but mother can't? Where were the PSAs for men to not monopolize the conversation by talking about everything they know?
Parents, as authority figures and the examples the children emulate, should be capable of controlling their emotions. A calm parent exerts a calming influence on their children and is more capable of identifying the cause of upset and resolving conflict. In other words, act like an adult and not like a child's peer because you should be your child's parent not their friend.
@@johnstevens1575 Very much so, tho to an extent. Personally I think a parent needs to learn how to be their friend too to some small degree. Children are going to be children, they're not going to act as adults so a child would need to rely on a level of "friendship" from their parents to better relate the parents teaching to their childlike interaction with the world. Also, I personally have always welcomed parents making mistakes in front of their children AS LONG AS the adult apologizes and shows how to take responsibility and rectify things. It's one thing to teach a child what not to do, but it's another for the child to actively see what happens when something goes wrong AND how to be a better person about it.
@@fallen4life080 Parents have difficulty remaining authority figures and being respected when they blur the lines by being a friend. Making mistakes is normal, but is a teaching moment, but not all mistakes should involve an apology. Much of this is of course dependant upon the physical development of the child, their intellectual development, and there age. You can be a friend to your child when they are mature enough to make adult decisions and are capable of accepting the consequences of their actions without being dependent upon their parents. Some are never raised from childhood into adulthood, never equipped by their parents with the resilience, willpower, and character necessary for success.
A lot of these aren’t sexist though. Like not wasting time and doing things like learning how to sew or something, that’s a great point. Regulation of your emotions is also a good thing for your mental well-being and the wellbeing of those around you. And showering/wearing clean clothes is important. Also looking nice DOES improve your confidence, though I can see how that one sounded a bit sexist, looking nice for the breadwinners isn’t a bad thing but they should love you no matter how you look.
Think you’ve missed the entire point. It’s a PSA made by males who feels the need to regulate females on what to do, what to say, and what to wear. Of course people shower regularly and take care of their own well-being, but why on earth should it be to satisfy men and their ideology on “what a woman should be”? That’s the sexist part. And why is there no PSA for men on what to wear, how to act, how to not “waste time”?
@@aethei8560 There WERE similar films for men, you dummy! So quick to take offence without checking your opinions / feelings vs fact. Just what the PSA advised against. A woman should be in control of her emotions.
I honestly, as a woman, find absolutely nothing wrong with this PSA. It was filled with well to do advice such as "don't monopolize the conversation because it will ruin the mood", "be sure to shower to rid yourself of accumulated dust and dry skin". Even the bit where it's mentioned, "we wouldn't be women if we didn't worry about our size" is an accurate bit. As females, we should want to be beautiful and our figure is a part of that. No two women are the same so what's a "good figure" and size differs from one to another. However, it is still important to keep in shape and be healthy if possible. I'm so sick of women pretending someone telling you to take care of yourself is abuse
Some of it's worded a bit too directly for modern tastes and is obviously told from a patriarchal point of view, but it's better than the neglect, or on the other hand coddling, that passes for parenting nowadays.
Up until the family dinner portion, the advice wasn’t all that bad. It was delivered badly, but the advice itself was okay. But then we got to “don’t be emotional, dress up for the men of your family, watch what you eat to stay thin, etc.” 😬
Clean hygiene, healthy diet, make good use of your time, don't be a slop, don't be annoying, etc. These are all great advice for both men and women, boys and girls. None of these is "incredibly sexist".
Why does it always have to be taken so personally. These are all good things to do, maybe besides the you always need to look good for a man idea, but why not look good. Literally most of this is just "take care of yourself and don't be a goblin please"
"Its taken personally because many women in the west have a lot of trauma associated with past relationships and feminist propaganda makes them think doing things for men is anathema when really its just an expression of love for a partner, women without trauma are actually completely fine with it, also to be fair they are socializing the women to not express emotion which I disagree with as a man."
@@40stryder03 I agree, as a female it's okay that men are able to express on how they feel towards someone. As long they don't pressure their opinions on you. Because that can get out of hand. I'm not sure if this is what you mean though, I'm a bit confused on what you mean.
Yes it’s absolutely sexist to tell women to not look sloppy, let someone else talk once in a while, and clean up your body! We should definitely strive to look like we got dressed in the dark, ramble on so everyone tunes us out and bathing yuck who needs it!!!! Sooo sexist. Sarcasm for those who did not understand that.
you’re missing the entire point that these tips aren’t intended so that a woman is a clean and affable person, these tips are so that women meet the mold that men of the time find desirable. Her socks need to be just so for the man, not for her, etc. The PSA intends to direct a woman’s actions for the fulfillment of the male gaze. Gross.
1:30 wait....I get everything else (like....WOW) but what was sexist about the dirty undergarments thing? thats a no brainer for any gender or age. no way I'd wanna wear dirty underware. DX

Daniel fmatosrivera No, some of them are definitely a bit to over emphasizing of the woman’s role in the household, such as saying that specifically sewing was a good skill to have for women. I guess overall its the framing of the information that makes it sexist. Since it is directly towards women, and not everyone, it shows the double standard more so then the information itself.

The majority of them really are not being sexist just to the girls. The boys get an earful too.

@@helgaioannidis9365 They weren't only addressed to women. The video comes from a PSA called "Body Care and Grooming," which gives advice to both men and woman throughout its whole duration.
Also the woman is still holding the book in her "ideal" appearance, so I don't think it's implying that women shouldn't be reading or anything.
I’ve seen a number of these PSAs/single reel “educational films” right here on TH-cam, and I gotta say, most of the clips chosen were pretty mild! There are other scenes which were easily more egregious than these.
Also: I’d like to mirror what another commenter mentioned: it’s appreciated by almost everyone that people of all/any genders shower and wear clean undergarments.
It’s said that people must be told this. Right? I assume it’s a daily requirement, but apparently not.
2:18 Actually this is great advice in my opinion; don’t let your emotions be controlled by others people’s bad moods . Letting other people’s moods (drastically and constantly) alter your personal emotions is actually a sign of codependency, which is an unhealthy coping symptom often used by victims of abuse and/or trauma
I agree with your opinion and I totally understand it. But the only thing that turns me off with the situation shown is the fact that they just shoved the responsibility to the wife to remain as calm and collected as much as she can without telling the same thing to the husband. It is just okay if the husband shows some emotions like anger, but the wife is prohibited to do so. It's like they are trying to emphasize that women can not retaliate to men and instead of controlling their anger they will rather shove it to women to release their frustration. That's why domestic violence was quite common at that time. Again, it was never a good thing to add fuel to the fire, but the example given in the video just feels very sexist to me. It should be applied to both genders and not just to women.
@@wendyjung4616 Seriously! True nobody should lash out in anger but there are situations where it's ok to be angry. We're human and have emotions. This was just telling women to be compliant little dolls.

"The women seem to feel they owe it to the men of the family to look pretty and relaxed at dinnertime"
Why?
This was the cringiest thing in the video. If your brother or dad needs you to look pretty while they nosh on their meatloaf, find a new family. The rest I can overlook or even support to a point. But not that one, especially stated smugly by the male voiceover.
if we want to eat with the animals we'll go to barn.
Why do they assume women want random men talking to them? That's why I dress like a hobo. Duh!
Haha exactly!
Interesting how it's up to women to make men act like a human....
Women used to be the civilizing influence on men's behavior. We had gentlemen because we had ladies first.
What are day time clothes? Did people wear clothes in the morning then changed to evening clothes then nightwear? Lol no ones got the time. Sorry if I have something to say, I’m gonna monopolize the conversation especially if it’s important.
Yes, families ate at 5:00 p.m. together, and all dressed for it.
SsSs RoBbSs no, they mean dinner clothes. Back then you dressed in cloths for school, clothes for play, dressed for dinner and then pj’s.
Back then a woman would wear whatever during the day, but put on a nice dress for dinner time, where the whole family would eat together. It wasn't like June Cleaver in a dress and pearls all day while vacumning. That's just on TV. They didn't wear pajama bottoms or leggings out in public. People cared about their appearance.
Imagine the laundry though
@@angelmartin7310 these multiple clothing was most likely followed only in the rich or well to do families because i don't think any other family would care about outside appearances this to such a great extent
Not to forget to own multiple dresses you must be wealthy
So maybe they had a full house staff
This is how women should act.
@@Phoebek898Men are also human beings, not Walking Wallets or Emotionless Punching Bags/Killing Machines! Stop misinterpreting what people say!
Women will act like that but if man wont act like this either they are not gonna look for marriage with someone who is less than them in behaviour, hygiene and stuff.
These things are good and people who are like this deserve people like this.
@ smithyman33 yesss
Most of these are just good life advise
@@degamispoudegamis, have you seen the whole videos? I've seen many of them and they're directed at everyone. They're, actually, very informative. One shouldn't take such short clips at face value as they may have been manipulated in that manner to seem that way.
@@degamispoudegamis, I asked if you saw the whole videos where these clips are from. Also, what's the difference? Both statements tell a woman what to do.
"Shower so you don't stink "
Well yeah
The amusing thing is that someone thought that needed an informative video.
Really though what is wrong with encouraging women to take care of themselves and look presentable, men were encourage to do the exact same thing. Personally I much prefer how women use to dress to how we dress now, why are trainers, pants, and slouchy unfitted clothes any better for us. I also like how smart men use to dress.
I completely agree with you
Honestly both are okay trainers and pants are much more comfortable Tbh people can still do something to look elegant in them
Like I mean dresses and pants for women
Pants are way more practical though. I don’t like a lot of modern clothes but at least you can work in them.
I think women should take these PSAs to Heart
Shower so you don’t stink is still a good one, and we should all listen to it lol
The narrator going "That hair, that skin, that mouth" made me increasingly uncomfortable lmao
This is just advice about classy grooming and good habits that could be applied to men and to women. Nothing wrong here except nowthisnews trying to stir up hate.
No there is somethong wrong here because its only focused at women and its all for them to be appealing to men like objects.
@@bm-mx5tk because this TH-cam channel didn't post the full video and is using that for misandry propaganda. Apparently, the full video also included men who are held to higher standards than women.
Well, all I see is practical advice. Women who WANT to get ahead and stay in healthy relationships do this regardless of time era, race, age, religion, and or socio-economic class.

@@swahi2702 now it's gone to far the other way.
I'm not sure these should be a thing of the past. Update them as they apply to both sexes. I mean these are called good manners and habits. Something many people have forgotten lately.
Yes, telling ladies to dress for their men, hide their emotions like stress and put on a relaxed face to make someone else happy. And don’t forget to make losing weight a priority. That has nothing to do with manners. And the fact is, this wasn’t aimed at men. That’s the point🤦🏽♀️ clearly one that flew right over your head. Some people are too stupid to even try to educate.
@@fashiondiva6972 Yes, we know it *WAS* aimed at women. That's why I said update it for both sexes. I mean you yourself could be triggered less easily, and avoid insults and we'd have a nice discussion. We could all take care of ourselves a little better. We could also be kinder to each other. That was my point. (But you missed it).

@@jacobgrafstrom1917 “since feminism happened women are more miserable than ever”? Lmfaooooooo. That’s an absolutely ludicrous, blanket, statement.
There's hardly anything sexist here. In fact, I recognize a couple of these CHERRY-PICKED clips from PSAs that also gave similar advice to males.
"Look at that mouth"
That just sent me to the upper room bruh! 😆 😇
Honestly I feel like the first one is good advice for everyone, no one likes it when someone has complete control over a conversation.
“Don’t get emotional” -Deny you’re human.
Actually, control your emotions rather than being a victim of them. Self control is the discipline most evident among the powerful.
Don’t be a radical feminist
It's crazy how they would sing beautiful songs about women back in the 40s and 50s but treated women like absolute garbage

“Don’t ask me. I’m just a girl. (giggles)”
Hi, let's get to know us
let be honest I bet there are some people in this era who still believe that .
fortunately
"notice how the mother becomes angry because of Jeff's anger......perhaps she shouldn't because, etc, etc"
Ah, so Jeff can get as emotional as he wants but mother can't? Where were the PSAs for men to not monopolize the conversation by talking about everything they know?
Parents, as authority figures and the examples the children emulate, should be capable of controlling their emotions. A calm parent exerts a calming influence on their children and is more capable of identifying the cause of upset and resolving conflict. In other words, act like an adult and not like a child's peer because you should be your child's parent not their friend.
@@johnstevens1575 Very much so, tho to an extent. Personally I think a parent needs to learn how to be their friend too to some small degree. Children are going to be children, they're not going to act as adults so a child would need to rely on a level of "friendship" from their parents to better relate the parents teaching to their childlike interaction with the world. Also, I personally have always welcomed parents making mistakes in front of their children AS LONG AS the adult apologizes and shows how to take responsibility and rectify things. It's one thing to teach a child what not to do, but it's another for the child to actively see what happens when something goes wrong AND how to be a better person about it.
@@fallen4life080 Parents have difficulty remaining authority figures and being respected when they blur the lines by being a friend. Making mistakes is normal, but is a teaching moment, but not all mistakes should involve an apology. Much of this is of course dependant upon the physical development of the child, their intellectual development, and there age. You can be a friend to your child when they are mature enough to make adult decisions and are capable of accepting the consequences of their actions without being dependent upon their parents. Some are never raised from childhood into adulthood, never equipped by their parents with the resilience, willpower, and character necessary for success.
A lot of these aren’t sexist though. Like not wasting time and doing things like learning how to sew or something, that’s a great point. Regulation of your emotions is also a good thing for your mental well-being and the wellbeing of those around you. And showering/wearing clean clothes is important. Also looking nice DOES improve your confidence, though I can see how that one sounded a bit sexist, looking nice for the breadwinners isn’t a bad thing but they should love you no matter how you look.
Think you’ve missed the entire point. It’s a PSA made by males who feels the need to regulate females on what to do, what to say, and what to wear. Of course people shower regularly and take care of their own well-being, but why on earth should it be to satisfy men and their ideology on “what a woman should be”? That’s the sexist part. And why is there no PSA for men on what to wear, how to act, how to not “waste time”?
@@jacobgrafstrom1917 what does aging have to do with anything?
@@aethei8560 There WERE similar films for men, you dummy! So quick to take offence without checking your opinions / feelings vs fact. Just what the PSA advised against. A woman should be in control of her emotions.
I honestly, as a woman, find absolutely nothing wrong with this PSA. It was filled with well to do advice such as "don't monopolize the conversation because it will ruin the mood", "be sure to shower to rid yourself of accumulated dust and dry skin". Even the bit where it's mentioned, "we wouldn't be women if we didn't worry about our size" is an accurate bit. As females, we should want to be beautiful and our figure is a part of that. No two women are the same so what's a "good figure" and size differs from one to another. However, it is still important to keep in shape and be healthy if possible. I'm so sick of women pretending someone telling you to take care of yourself is abuse
Some of it's worded a bit too directly for modern tastes and is obviously told from a patriarchal point of view, but it's better than the neglect, or on the other hand coddling, that passes for parenting nowadays.
THANK YOU
This exactly.
@@Phoebek898 It goes both ways.
Nobody cares
Up until the family dinner portion, the advice wasn’t all that bad. It was delivered badly, but the advice itself was okay. But then we got to “don’t be emotional, dress up for the men of your family, watch what you eat to stay thin, etc.” 😬
also look good or man wont act like descent humans beings(?
@@danig9871 That one was by far the worst
"More like try to please men or you get sexually assaulted anyways" I am so confused of why not many people caught on to this horrible message
Clean hygiene, healthy diet, make good use of your time, don't be a slop, don't be annoying, etc.
These are all great advice for both men and women, boys and girls.
None of these is "incredibly sexist".
Why does it always have to be taken so personally. These are all good things to do, maybe besides the you always need to look good for a man idea, but why not look good. Literally most of this is just "take care of yourself and don't be a goblin please"
"Its taken personally because many women in the west have a lot of trauma associated with past relationships and feminist propaganda makes them think doing things for men is anathema when really its just an expression of love for a partner, women without trauma are actually completely fine with it, also to be fair they are socializing the women to not express emotion which I disagree with as a man."
@@40stryder03 I agree, as a female it's okay that men are able to express on how they feel towards someone. As long they don't pressure their opinions on you. Because that can get out of hand. I'm not sure if this is what you mean though, I'm a bit confused on what you mean.
Yes it’s absolutely sexist to tell women to not look sloppy, let someone else talk once in a while, and clean up your body! We should definitely strive to look like we got dressed in the dark, ramble on so everyone tunes us out and bathing yuck who needs it!!!! Sooo sexist. Sarcasm for those who did not understand that.
you’re missing the entire point that these tips aren’t intended so that a woman is a clean and affable person, these tips are so that women meet the mold that men of the time find desirable. Her socks need to be just so for the man, not for her, etc. The PSA intends to direct a woman’s actions for the fulfillment of the male gaze. Gross.
1:30 wait....I get everything else (like....WOW) but what was sexist about the dirty undergarments thing? thats a no brainer for any gender or age. no way I'd wanna wear dirty underware. DX
Everyone should shower too! But this is something like: "women, please, shower so men can act as human beings"
Sounds like the type of advice you get to do a good job interview and far less demanding than a Cosmopolitan. Women liberation has been a scam.
