In US news and current events today, NowThis is showing how far women have come from the sexism of the ‘40s and ‘50s as illuminated by these sexist commercials and vintage PSAs. A lot has changed from how the 40s and 50s treated women to women’s treatment today, largely thanks to the feminism debate and women’s clubs that fought for equality. While we still see women wrestling with inequality and controversies like the sexist Peloton commercial, a lot has changed.

If you watch the full psa they put the guy through the same treatment.
But that wouldn't support the one-sided narrative that only women suffer from societal expectations.

Blouse was tucked in. Skirt was pass her slip versus before it wasn't.
Same with the skirt for me.
“You’ll be single forever if you don’t tuck in your blouse.”
Me: I’d rather be single than to meet someone just to break my heart.
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.

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.
@@beverlycrowell_ I’m as old as you and no, women were not treated better. Don’t even try with that nonsense.
@@edl6398 How are women treated better now then they were back then?
@beverlycrowell I agree.
A lot of these PSA could be applied to men, especially the showering one.
Yeah, none of these PSAs appear to be sexist or mean to women. Just decent life advice.
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.

Telling people to take a shower is sexist?
No. Implying that a woman's worth is dependent on her attractiveness is sexist.
@@Kur10usity
Well explained
Not to say there weren’t sexist attitudes in the 50s but I actually don’t see much wrong in the clips (except for the very weird human being comment). I’ve seen similar videos from the time directed at men that had the same simple ideas; look presentable, wash up and act pleasant at dinner time, etc. These clips focus on women because that’s the group these particular videos were addressing.
@@johnpatrick7757 It's the idea that a woman is ONLY worth anything thru her attractivenss, tht it's really only as deep as the skin she's cleaning in tht segment. I like lookng nice & feelng good, bt the idea that a man does Have to treat me as Human if he does Think I "look like I deserve it"? That Is kinda horrifying!
“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.
Being emotional is quite different to having regular emotions. Except when you are a psychopath and try to force others into your world of emotional unawareness.
Anyone else not see anything wrong with the girls hair the first time? I didn't and I wouldn't have survived the 40's and 50's cause I'm that sloppy girl!
I love that time period. I hate this century
Yeah, it was a mess
Unkempt
Feel bad for the man to date you since you thing bragging about being sloppy is a good thing.
@@MahouShoujo-Studios When you reach 18 maybe then you can sit at the big boy tables and talk with the grown ups
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."
Exactly like because this was targeted to ONLY women and almost shifting the blame onto them it's just straight up gross
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.
@@michaeldelyjah5696 ok bro cool story

I liked the one for controlling emotions. That made sense.
These are norms until they become sexist. Both men and women should learn how to behave properly at all times
Yes
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.
Why would anyone want to be treated like a queen? I prefer being treated like an equal.

I couldn’t see anything wrong with the blouse either!
A lot of these “tips” aren’t that bad when put out of context. It’s the sexism that ruins them. The one about dressing decently outside applies to everyone
There were probably PSAs like this for boys too. Women AND men AND kids are pushed to be a certain way to fit in.
And is today better? Now, society treats MEN & BOYS this way.
There were standards for men, too. The men were expected to bathe, groom themselves, dress neatly and cleanly too.
They were given bad advices also tho, like to shave (a feminine advice)
@@holzmann-you think that's feminine advice? 💀
@@kaplingnag7267 Yes, men should have beards.
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’s not control
it's to indicate that she takes care of herself 👍🏻

I swear I hear that commentator’s voice on any and everything from the 40’s through 60’s. Was he the only commentator back then?
Pretty much...
every commentator sounded like that
It’s the Mid-Atlantic or Trans- Atlantic accent that was taught back then in boarding school. Becoming very common upper class and then picked up by the media. It was a amalgama of American and British English. So it sounds neutral a dent that didn’t really specify any geographical location.
@@seanceknowles2911 that's so interesting!! I can always tell what era radio is from by the way the announcer speaks (or the characters in commercials), their tone, inflection, the way the "strong" women and men sound, etc. Each era has their "way". I never knew the terminology for what each era had. This is so interesting to me, I need to do more research. 👍🏽😊
It was the style they were all schooled in; any commentator could step into anything, and there wouldn't be any need to change a thing, because they were all schooled to speak a certain way so they sounded alike.

@Lzb Lmvm I do
@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. Saying that “nobody likes a fat woman” must be so degrading to people with eating disorders or even just naturally bulky figures. Also I’ll bet that your definition of “fat” is anything over 90 pounds. Please just stop.
@@tess4518 just stop eating, it’s not rocket science
if you actually bother to watch any full length ones, you’ll realize the men were also being held to higher standards back then. Not such a bad thing to want to improve oneself and not particularly sexist imo.
95% of the stuff in these are correct and are commonplace for both genders. Especially in the 50s
Literally almost nothing wrong with a majority of it even to this day.
only if it would meant for both genders and would not contain absolutely horrific messages
The "you don't seem to be the type to make that guy behave like a human being"...
basically the understanding is that if the guy decides to behave inhumanely towards her then that would be her fault, not his!
It's disturbing that this was considered normal not that long ago... and even more disturbing that there's a persistent, loud and extremely well funded reactionary movement that want's to return to the norms of that time.

The sock hack is better than 5 minute crafts
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.

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.
"You don't seem like the type to make a guy behave like a human being."
Sounds like the guy is the one with the problem if he can't behave like a human just because of some girl's socks.
This is good advice if only it were applied to all genders equally and not so aimed at shaming the people who don't follow it.

Women be like “I wish I was born in the 50s it was so cute” The 1950s:
@flmvdvsrg Hmm, maybe cuz body hair is a natural thing and if it wasn't natural maybe we wouldn't have body hair🤨
@flmvdvsrg Very interesting how males back in the 50’s would’ve felt the same disliking and outrage as you do when it came to a woman fighting against the norms perpetuated in the 40’s and 50’s. Give it another 60 years and the fact that you’re upset that women don’t want to shave their pit hair will seem crazy to the younger generations.
@flmvdvsrg no one is stopping you from shaving your pit hair.

@flmvdvsrg you really don't see a single thing wrong here? Not even one tiny detail? Really?
Just think, all the men with girlfriends who want to behave this way will be happy all their lives. The rest of you will react in anger and discuss among yourself why they shouldn't be happy.
not really , unless their right winged.
Cult members are also happy, people in toxic relationship can be "happy".
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.

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 thing is, that earlier mostly females were given strict rules
Also I don't hate men
So don't come at me saying I'm fake feminist,
Ik men also faces issues and their rights are ignored
@@rich_doddy3952 If you talk about me I didn't asume you are a feminist or whatever else, I just responded to the video and how it tries to find ways to say how sexist everything and everyone is against women without seeing double standards or with seeing sexism where there isn't really any.
Now men expect you to have bodies like Cardi B and if you don’t they body shame you on top of degrading you. As far as women have come from this point, the degrading of women in modern pop culture has also pushed us back.
May be, but Cardi B isn't my type of girl at all. I prefer my ladies classier and cultured.
But hey, whatever floats their boats, right?...
Stay positive, test negative 🤗😊
@@pabloalvez915 "Stay positive, test negative" hahah love that 👍🏽❤
Well back then if your above 115 pounds you would be seen as unwanted and ugly. It's more accepted to have different body types. But yes social media has pushed the hourglass Kim K look just as much.
Just hit the gym and be done with it. And fall in love that will shield you from body shaming
@@Starlee123 well soda companies need to eat
I'll take that world over the one we have now.
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.
0:24 Maybe she’s focused on her studies.
Doesn’t mean u still can’t look nice

0:30 the girl with the messy hair was reading & could have well been trying to find a cure for cancer or some other serious disease 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I agree that this is wrong but I don't understand your comment
Are you curing cancer? Well, not with that hair young lady!
Spoiled Serena The only valid focus for women in education in those days was getting an M.R.S. ;)
But that book had nothing to do with what's going on.
Just because you see a person reading a book doesn't automatically mean they're smart.
😕 .. women don’t care about those kind of things even in today’s world
Too bad we females have lost all this. Wish I was back .
The good old days
@@WonderGirl2 Sounds to me like you don't understand history and just take what modern liberals make up as fact
Omggg this is insane. These are our elders. Like tf I’m gonna take advice from you
What is scary is the fact that some of those "elders" that grew up in this mentality are now head of governments, senators, governors, etc.... or worse judges :(
yesss
People, 60-70 years from now, are going to say the same thing about us.
@@billbertboyce324 No they won't. If we finally learn to treat the opposite gender, they won't call us sexist.
Sewing was super useful and still is!
Huh?
@@Crustycats yes
Yep. I still sew by hand and machine. Whipped out my machine today to make a repair.
Yes! Thanks to sewing, I gave life to my old leggings.
then men should learn how to sew too and stop relying on women to do it for them :).
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
Honestly, these don’t sound all that different from what a lot of “influencers” promote
*Fast forward into the 70's and you had The Stepford Wives.*
"Shower so you don't stink "
Well yeah
The amusing thing is that someone thought that needed an informative video.
Yeah, there’s nothing worse than having good hygiene, dressing nicely, grooming your hair, and having a good attitude.
The problem is that it's only aimed at women and that they're supposed to do all these things exclusively for men so that men will "act humanely" towards them. That is sexist, quit acting stupid.
@@DwynTwowell it is a guide for women so it's going to be directed for women, but yeah I get it
@@DwynTwo I know this will be hard for you, but use the search bar and you can find a video just like this aimed at men.
@@DwynTwo those days are good times
Watch it again with a functioning brain
This stuff still applies for men and women today
Right. Is NT even aware of all the "elegance" channels out there teaching women these exact things and more?? And they are hosted and created by guess who...women!!! We are not a monolith. Some of us still believe in putting our best face forward , taking care of our bodies, and the ever so shameful...eating right. Lol.
And people say we should “go back to the good old days”
The good old days were terrible. They actually weren't good at all.
@@CBC460 Hey mannn, ze econome was booming, wages were rising in lockstep with productivity gains!!! the cost of living (especially housing and education) was substantially lower and the minimum wage adjusted for inflation was a dollar or so higher. violent crime was lower then than today!!! inequality was substantially lower, the U.S. federal gubernment was still rigorously enforcing anti-trust laws in order to ensure no corporation was getting too big, powerful, and would devour the market (very much unlike today..) among other great things! it wasn't all bad my dudes.
nope
@@user-if8po5pu7j Bro use ur brain here. If you take away 50% of the workforce, how do you think that's gonna affect the economy?
@@claireelizabeth9431 never said I wanted half the workforce to dis-engage from it. Also, even back then, the workforce participation rate was about a third to 37% for woman, so it wasn't like there weren't any woman working.
i reckon you should use your brain before telling off others
The eating right one seemed a step in the right direction actually.
Kerstie Sweeney I was thinking the same thing! Also everyone (who can) should shower & not stink, lol.
What about generally not being annoying, or prone to fits of rage for no reason? Or dressing nicely in public or for family dinners???
All of the points in the video were positive and true.
George They were only being applied to women by men. It wasn’t sloppy girl and boy straighten your clothing to appear more with it. It was girl, straighten your clothing for boy so and he will notice you, and smile at you, and girl you will be all the better for it.🤮
@@shawnaweesner3759 This video compiled a small handful of examples specifically to make it seem that way. Boys and men had expectations too, of how to comport themselves, dress, talk to their elders, etc.
Stop being so brainwashed into outrage over NOTHING.
@@g.e.o.r.g.e... Thank you for having the ability to think and reason. How refreshing.
Notice the lady whose appearance was being criticized was reading a book, and then when she made herself attractive, she was suddenly not reading. I wonder if that's a coincidence? (I don't wonder--it's not a coincidence.)
How depraved they have become
The narrator going "That hair, that skin, that mouth" made me increasingly uncomfortable lmao
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.
@@helgaioannidis9365 that was my point. The tone of what is being said is sexist. 🤦♀️
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 _it wouldn't be sexist if the advice was given to all genders_
*GOTTA LOVE DAT I N C L U S I V I T Y*
@@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.
These films are taken way out of context!
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
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.
"I was born on the wrong decade"
You sure about that? 😂 (I know this comment is sarcasm)
I would love to see a return back to these traditional values, but with some modifications to be a little less formal and a little more lenient in light of today’s society. Maybe people would start marrying each other again
Yes but I don't think everybody will go along with it
@@calmdownsir907 of course not, and just like back then, those that didn't conform to societal values would be ignored in society. Not saying whether or not this is a good thing, but nothing would be different. We still ostracize people who don't fit into our modern societal values, just as they did back then. At least back then, they would keep themselves clean, and presentable in public. They would shower, and take care of their personal hygiene, which is an increasing rarity these days.
Yikes! This is what my mother's generation were marching against in the 60s and 70s. It's best not to forget that.
Marching against being civilized
@DissidentMitch Depends on your idea of ,civilization,Mitch!
You missed the victim blaming and them saying woman should pls their male family members 🤢
@@tamialeslie7187 Attractive didn't just mean "fuckable" back in the day. Hope that helps.
How many of them were "marching"? LOL
let be honest I bet there are some people in this era who still believe that .
When women’s socks aren’t right I don’t act like a human I morph straight into a mountain Bear
I'd prefer to have lived in the 50s or 40s era, as a woman, rather than this era.
Now there’s a female with common sense. An actual good lady, bless you
@@Myday_145 Thank you very much! I just prefer eras that were happier times, women weren't competing with men, they were perfectly happy being a woman, looking like a woman, carrying themselves with dignity, class and pride, wasn't upset taking care of their families every day and was proud to do it
@@bellavita1323 Thank you very much for such a great sense of mind. I appreciate and applaud you for being an amazing Woman.
