To the manly man people: get a Brazilian school history book. Look for who will appear. Men in history wheren't manly necessarily I mean have you seen their legs?-
You overlooked a big factor: President John Kennedy went hatless, which killed off men’s hats. No more fedoras. Women soon followed suit. But it was one factor, not the only reason. Thanks for a good history.
Hello, I'm an American teacher and can explain the bathroom thing for at least America. Our kids don't want to learn more often than not and just want to get out of class. Other reasons include one kid asking, you let them go, then the whole class needs to suddenly go. The reason at MY crooked school is that our principal (aka a giant bitch who doesn't deserve her job, we all hate her guts) says when our students ask to go to the bathroom she blames it on us for either not teaching or not managing behavior. She then gives us write ups (disciplinary action) for letting them go too much or too little and they have accidents. All of the teachers in my school hate our principal. But yeah, that about covers it for America 🇺🇸🙄
OMG... I can't even... The thing is that historically speaking, men and women acted and dressed differently. It doesn't matter how exactly it was executed, but it had always been quite clear that there was an appropriate way of conduct and how to dress for men and women. It differed. The issue at hand does NOT resolve itself around "did men wear dresses in the past". That's a stupid point to argue over. The point being made is that there is a cultural clash when people are being forced into habits, dress codes and mannerism that have been designated to another gender. And that is true for any period in history. Did you know that mothers shamed their boys for bad behavior BY PUTTING THEM IN FEMALE CLOTHES??? How does that fit into your little rant? Ironic how one part of this crowd tells people to "stop with the cultural appropriation" but simultaniously are being screamed at for not wanting to appropriate a mix of culture from a gender specific angle. So: No, I won't put on a dress because you people are trying to make me believe I will somehow be more empowered. Yes, I would prefer instead more traditionally "mannly" attributes to be highlighted in a positive manner.
Like ... what on EARTH are you doing??? Are you seriously stating that fashion of the past is comparable to fashion these days? And no... noone else is saying that. They are comparing previously established trends in contempuary times. What about the antique attitude towards nudity? Am I ok these days to run around stark naked in public? NO! It isn't comparable! It has never been meant to be interpreted that way and would be foolish to do so. Madam, you are a bad historian
Bring back the ultimate manly man look, the buffet of different clothes items in all possible colors haphazardly matched together, possibly torn up just to show you have so much cash you can rip your expensive-as-fuck shirt and wear it, the landsknecht peacock.
Men: wear corsets to look thin Women: wear corsets for chest and back support Men:... Men: V A N I T Y Epilogue: Trans Men wearing binders off in the distance:“Wot?”
That looks really good. When I watch period dramas I am mostly interested in how people look. I always wish I had suits like the men wear rather than the relatively boring sh^t I have. Everyone looked more elegant.
It reminds me so much of a scene from 27 dresses where Jane the main character wanted to wear her mother's dress for her wedding, but her sister had her wedding sooner and she managed to completely destroy the dress in this exact process of "remaking" it. And when the main character saw it she just said "Today you're not my sister, you're just the bitch that destroyed my mother's dress!"
I am sure with 7000+ comments someone else has mentioned this: It was the Polish people that brought about the victory in WW2 when it happened. The Poles had cracked the German code machines even before WW2, and they passed the information and knowledge of the machines to the British, who used the concepts the break the codes the Germans were using in the war. This allowed the allies to know what the Germans were up to, and allowed them to do all sorts of diversionary plans to convince the Germans that D-Day would not happen where it happened. Without the knowledge of the Poles far more people would have died before the war ended. And then the US and British sold out to the Russians and let Stalin have Poland. To be fair, they probably did not have a choice, but it is one more example of the Polish people doing great things and still getting shit on by everyone else. One last thing: This video was amazing. Karolina you really do this well.
I am constantly annoyed by history only focusing on the super rich of society. They are the people in most portraits, photos, magazines because normal people could not afford such things, or saw them as a waste of money. Almost all historical fiction prior to 1800 focuses on kings and queens, or the people in charge whatever their title. Even the novels of the 1800s that we revere today were generally focused on relatively well-to-do people. It gives the impression that everyone dressed, ate and lived like that. Even the idea that "women did not work" is somewhat exaggerated by all the stories about a segment of society that did not work, and in particular believed women of that rank should not work. In reality, women did work and they worked hard. Even the idea that women did not do the same jobs as men is mostly false. The social class of men in most novels was such that were their jobs were male-only because women of the same class did not work, and did not get the education needed to do that job. Which I would agree is unfair. However, go down the social ladder a bit - where the vast majority of people were - and women worked.
Clothing was made to last back then, not like now. I had* my grandmother's wedding dress (she was married in 1910) and it was still beautiful. And she was not rich so this was no fancy french fashion house. *I donated it to a local museum a few years ago
This sounds accurate to me. To be honest, I feel the same way about fantasy movies, futuristic movies, etc. If this is 2321, why are they wearing flares, mini skirts, and big hair? Obviously, the designers don't have to make people look ridiculous, but they do not have to make them current day, either. More than the boobs and questionable dress design choices, I find the modern hair, lips and teeth far more distracting in a historical drama.
This series is based on a series of Regency romance books by Julia Quinn. The initial book is "The Duke and I". It is a fantasy romance and is not meant to be realistic.
I was with you up to the point where it boiled down to:" Men did it!" That seems rather ill-informed, badly thought-out and vicious. Roughly about as vicious as you claim men were towards women ...
You are talking so fast!! Even though I was reading the subtitles, I was exhausted haha. You look so lovely tho! Fabulous job! (And thank you for taking the time for the English subtitles)
THANK YOU!! The corsets over the billowy dresses were mind boggling to me. Also, the overboob killed me. It was distracting too. A shame because the show itself is good.
So I guess you like.your men in lipstick & heels. Manly means masculinity. In modern western society today some men believe it's ok to have feminine qualities & wear women's clothing. There is a battle against masculinity. We all know.that panty hose & heeled.shoes were originally Designed for men &. Was.adopted.by women. Men in kilts look masculine. Harry Styles.& Jaden Smith in dresses appears weak & unmasculine.
3:06 I thought I would like "Turn" ... you know, that AMC historical drama about Washington's New York spy ring? I liked the book it was based on. Four episodes and two completely unnecessary sex scenes later, nope. Everything else was pretty good, but seriously, *why* ???
Everybody is allowed to wear whatever they want as long as it’s not hurting anyone or themselves. A dude wants to wear dresses? Sure! A gal wants to wear a suit? Go ahead. A enby wants to wear a sweater? Okay!
Between the hair, the glasses, and the facial expressions, this is making me think of some long lost relative of The Final Pam. (And gosh I hope there's enough crossover between this part of BRdesk and the McElroys that *someone* understands that reference, lol.)
I gotta show this to my parents My mom loves the history of fashion but doesn't like it when men wear dresses, so hopefully this will at least change her perception a little bit
Feminists: Horrible men made us wear evil corsets. Also feminists: Horrible men fooled us into thinking corsets were bad. Also also feminists: Horrible men got us to stop wearing corsets. Listerine: Invents gingivitis, then cures it.
