October 7, 1980 in San Antonio Texas. Oppressed southern women protesting for freedom, just a bit over a year after the fundamentalist southern baptist takeover in the American South.

Are they demonstrating their support for explosive reactive armor?

I mean, it fine if you are into military hardware, though I do find it a bit fringe a topic for a demonstration.

Equal rights amendment

Let's not be too hasty! First, we need to know how much oil that are these women standing on?

The difference between this picture and the modern Florida scene is that the women are 10-15 years younger

They're 10-15 years younger when though?

This is negative context.

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

10-15 years before, obviously.

Nah, they're just openly against the systemic gender oppression that's been some kind of norm for eons and should be abolished whole-cloth. No need to drag their personal beliefs and customs into this.

Besides, witches are usually the brightest of the bunch, IMHO.

No I’m pretty sure they’re 57 years older.
