Whilst in my mums garage I discovered a bunch of old nuts and zoo magazines from my younger years.
Had a wee flip through some of them and there where a few things I was surprised at that would absolutely not fly now. One thing in particular stood out to me was a rate her arse feature. Now this wasn't guys sending in photos of their girlfriends posing for the camera. It was guys taking photos of womens arse on the street, in the shops at the bus stop etc. Things that would place you on a register.
Struck me as crazy it was treated as banter. Made me think of all the things in the past that were OK but we look at them with disdain now. |

It was more the attacking and serious allegations towards a member that the posts were removed for.
Can we get back to the OP please, which is what was deemed "acceptable" in a different era rather than attack men for answering the OP |

Disciplining naughty and disrespectful children. A good clip round the ear did me a power of good back in the day but the same act can land you in hot water today.

Harasement of the gay and bisexual community which was definately rife in my youth and thankfully became less so. Although l, unfortunately, it is currently becoming more common again as we see a rise in popularism and I think some carry over from the anti-transgender rhetoric being promited by some of our politicians and mainstream media organisations. |

"Kids sitting in priest’s laps
Smoking in lifts and planes
Animals wearing human clothes (hideous) on TV
"
Pre 9/11 (I think I would have been 10 at the time) I was allowed to see the inside of a planes cockpit whilst we where flying back from holiday.
Absolutely no way would a child get anywhere near one now. |

“Anti-transgender rhetoric being promoted … by mainstream media”?
Which media are you referring to?
My observation would have been that overall, MSM (real media) are strong supporters of inclusivity, rights, respect etc |

We did this summer! Plane was delayed for an hour so all the kids were offered the chance to go and chat to the pilots and look at the dashboard (is it called that in a plane?!  )
My son sat in the co-pilot’s chair! |

Zoo, Nuts etc was out of step with the times even then. A fairly short-lived anomaly. “New lad” fad, deliberately out of step, trying to be outrageous. |

"Blatant disrespect for women and objectifying them being treated as banter a thing of the past?
I don't think things are much different now than they were then sadly "
Yep, they just don’t put it in print anymore. But the attitudes are still rife. |

Of course it hasn’t been completely stamped out. Who suggested that it was a thing of the past?
But OP points out that some of what was condoned then would not be condoned now. |

In my experience it's just under cover now. |

I remember those little foil ashtrays in McDonald's with the McDonald's logo imprinted into it.
My kids don't even believe people use to smoke in there. Or been ask 'smoking or none smoking' as you checked in for a flight

… which is a step in the right direction, if people realise that certain behaviours or attitudes are no longer acceptable.
If you are honestly suggesting that zero progress has been made, then I disagree |

Actually, a lot of the media is populated with radfems and transphobes and they get away with printing false information in the guise of opinion, mail, guardian, times are three that stand out.
In the sporting world the anti trans movement is rife with discrimination being based on scientific theories/assumptions, fake concerns of womens 'safey', and fair play.
Transphobia and homophobia is being fuelled by right wing religious extremists around the world. |

I know what you’re saying and undercover cheeky bum photos (are wrong) re rating them in a magazine etc
I guess only a woman can say from experience but from having a daughter modern life hasn’t improved and seems worse for women now than 20 years ago ?  |

Not suggesting that zero progress has been made, just not much. People at least feel able to call it out now |

Fair enough. When you said “it’s just under cover now” that sounded very much as though you were saying nothing had changed. |

I really struggle with forms of discrimination being described as “phobias”. Prejudice, lack of tolerance etc are not all grounded in fear.
As for sports, describing them as “anti trans movement” is unfair. |

I'm not going to comment on the anti-trans stuff, as I'll just get angry and derail the thread.
However, nasty comments could be passed off as 'banter' back then.
'Don't bend over near him.'
Making jokes about disabilities and punching down with them.
Asking people of colour where they're from.
Guys rating the women in an office or factory on looks and sex appeal.
Being asked about the supposed sexual peccadillos of women soldiers by officers and NCOs.
In many ways we're moving forwards, but do seem to have gone backwards a bit recently.

No…but I have seen a grown man naked and I do like to hang round the gymnasium |
