From Girls' Romances #153 (September 1971) is some advice meant for women worried that if they do or say the wrong thing they will scare men away. This feature is a good example of the problem that romance comics had during the 1970s. Published in the midst of a gender roles revolution when women were demanding equal rights more than ever before in American society, romance comic books gave only lip-service to women's liberation as they were firmly entrenched in the mores and expectations of the 1940s and 1950s.

Never tell him everything about you... like that whole bit about killing ex-lovers with a knife.
ReplyDeleteI loved this type of crap from old comics. It's no wonder women are so screwed up.
ReplyDeleteI blame comics too.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Why I recently watched the movie Cat-Women of the Moon and one of the men tells a woman that she's "pretty smart. Pity I like them dumb."

XDDDDD
ReplyDeleteMake him feel like a god! XD
Honestly, the first six seem more like advice on how not to be an asshole (basically, some of the wording is eyeroll worthy). I know I don't like being told I'm weak, boring and stupid. The rest are pretty ugh.
