There are people who have leg fetishes. There would be a group of people who finds them to be attractive.

You thought women voting was a bunch of nonsense.
You thought Picasso belonged in prison for these scandalous paintings.

You still ain't about that modernist lifestyle.

You thought women voting was a bunch of nonsense.


That's more of a conservative thing back then, lol.

In France, a lot of leftists were against women voting too, because they saw that women were more religious and so thought they would vote for religious parties. France was the last country in Europe to extend suffrage to woman, in 1945.

I meant it's more conservative towards the United States. I never really paid attention towards European countries who were against women's suffrage. But.., I actually feel a bit sorry for France to not allow that until the end of World War II.

While I was looking at this, I wasn't sure if they were intended to look ugly or not.

That moment when you got electric lighting and life changed forever!

You see jazz as 'that new trend' in music.  8)

You remember when Coca-cola had cocaine in it
You remember when you had to go to the drugstore to get gas for your car

You remembering seeing cars as a luxury still, if you were poor.

You went to the silent movie theater and there was a guy sitting in the orchestra pit underneath the screen, going crazy on an American Fotoplayer:

When I lived in downtown Toronto, the other kids were impressed my parents had a car, so that can be for 2000s/2010s kids as well  ;D

A lot of people used gas lighting and candles to light up their homes (or for cooking and heating) in the 1910s, especially in rural areas (where most people lived back then). Finally converting to electric lighting at the time was very exciting.  :D

You still check your gutters to see if the coalman dropped any coal there!
You call your refrigerator an icebox.

You worried if your house will catch on fire if you dropped your candle.

You don't care what the whether is, you're going to stand on that street corner and sell those newspapers! Extra! Extra! Hot off the presses!

You're missing your finger in that factory you worked at when you were 9 in 1913.

You still attach your collar onto your shirt separately. Shirts with collars already attached to them are for the unkempt and lousy!

Heck, leaving your house without that collar is scandalous!

You played with Czar Nicholas II kids
You saw the Kaiser give a speech
If you ditched school you were made to put your nose in a circle on the Blackboard.
You were amazed the first time you saw an airplane

A horse kicked you in the face!  :-X

You loved receiving letters from your friends and relatives.

All of those things would apply to that woman who just died that was born in 1899. She was 15 when WWI started, 19 when it ended, and was 21 before women got the right to vote in the United States!

It took a while to get people out of the habit of peeing on the corner and the classic blowing snotrockets on the floor or just wherever. Manners, like literacy, became a big thing for the upper classes a couple centuries before they did for the lower classes, but they were a big factor in improving public sanitation.

You were born between 1904 and 1913.

Stop claiming you're a 10s kid, dumb 1919-borns. ::)

You were worried if your dad could be dead during the Great War (or World War I to modern people).
