Where chuds always this hung up on women have to be being portrayed as bimbos in distress? I remember in the 80's and 90's dudes were gaga over tough as nails women like Ripley and Sarah Connor and Samus Aran and Lara Croft.
Uhm... Yeah, actually, I think they were. The ultra-reactionary American right has always been around, and they've always had ultra-reactionary views on gender. Remember that middle class women working at all was still hugely controversial in the 80s and politicians spent most of the 80s and 90s blaming every single thing on working mothers and single mothers. Like if you watched the news in the 90s you'd be forgiven for thinking that a clandestine army of single moms was going around sabotaging industry and shanking people under the dark of night.
PLEASE tell me there’s some examples of articles somewhere. I need to add them to my “the same shit arguments have always been around” folder along with all the anti suffragette stuff.
Look up Murphy Brown shitstorms from the late 80's early 90's but really give Angela Davis's Women, Race and Class a read for some crazy racist, sexist shit like (I think it was) Teddy Roosevelt quoting some preacher in his state of the union about white women having a duty to have children for the typical white genocide-like arguments.
Waiting for the “Alien was SJW propaganda “ posts to start any moment now

That makes sense then, I was a kid in the 90's so I wasn't aware enough yet and narratives and gender relations.

Awesome thanks I’ll look into them both. Been meaning to read Davis for years.
