Technically, #8 would be more accurately called an Onna-Bugeisha. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onna-bugeisha

Somehow I doubt she was the first female tattoo artist as people have literally been making tattoos since there were people
JosephMcCovery
#7 is just outside of the "safe" standard for imgur. RIP OP's account.

It would be interesting if they were banned for not marking that pic as mature.

#3 those woman then couldn't vote but still served this country they had no say in.
rando84
Depends on which state they were from. They all had the vote 2 years later, the 20th Am was successful partly because of their wartime role.

@op you should have marked it mature with that swimsuit
imgrrrrrrrrr
I laughed +1

#4 was not the first. Tattooing is OLD.

I like how #7 was considered indecency, whereas now a days they use tits and ass to sell anything from car insurance to tacos

Different side of the same coin, i think. In both cases women are seen as objects that compel men.

Get on colorizing these, mysterious colorizing people

This is some of the amazing stuff feminism has achieved. It's not fair to say something is inherently bad because of a few extremists.
Lilshadow48
Yeah, problem is 3rd wave has nothing like these left to fight for. So it goes after stupid shit like "manspreading"
Flying13Pheonix
That's not really true. There are still issues of inequality in the U.S., though not as severe, and as far as the whole world, tons of shit
becauseurwrong
Manspreading was only a social observation on gender. But yes, 3rd wave is watered down "for everyone" feminism. But this site claims to
becauseurwrong
hate 2nd wavers getting shit done too. Women can't win.

Most of this was way before modern feminism, though.

#7 The Burkini "debate" almost has us full circle... it was about sexism first, now it's P.C gone cray!

Yeah, criminal gangs are known for their social consciousness.

They were basically property traded for other goods and services. Antithesis really..

#9 Makes me feel a bit sad. This woman has been through so much that we couldn't even imagine, and is still going through it since the 1800s
BIGBOYRN
No such thing as female members of the Hell's Angels...so I call bullshit on that one
jaycagney
The British bikes don't help the case either.

Pretty sure the 1990 pic wasn't in faded black and white
NorwayRat
In America yes, but we're talking about Soviet made film. Quite a difference in quality

But of course the 1943 one is clear as day
jetflight
It probably was. 1990 Caucasus region would've had plenty of black&white photography.

Actually, journalistic photographs still use black and white. If you go through the list of Pulitzer Prize winners you'll find one from 2011

I wonder about the tattoo one. First woman, or first white woman? People have been tattooing for thousands of years. Otzi even has tats.

Perhaps the first professional?

#5 was cute as hell.

She's giving me a jeordie white vibe. Dunno why.

Last time I looked up #8 it disappointingly turned out she was an actress.
Anthroposapien
First female tattooist? What? Like women thousands of years ago never did tattoo work.
MissAizea
Probably first American

The only one really impressive is the female samurai. As hell bound to tradition as Japan is, I just wish perople knew that woman more.
NZCookiemonster

ThoughtfulSatan
It's hella impressive
SgtChowdown
Problem is that photo isn't a real onna-bugeisha. She's an actress playing one in a play.
RRRIV
That's a huge let down
ThatJerkYouKnow
who is that woman?
ReleaseTheBeeees
That tattoo lady is taking none of anyone's shit.
yobego
Try that grandma from 1990.
stuffDrewdrew
I think i might be in love with her
HsuDoNihm
#14... you do know how those ladies are treated, right? Not exactly an example of empowered women there.
sumowoman
Was thinking the same.
theIdris
I was under the impression women couldn't be members of the Hell's Angels. George Christie said that on Outlaw Chronicals.
layo131
Fairly certain only white men can be members. They must be the old ladies of members.
theIdris
Thanks, that's what I thought that was.
HsuDoNihm
Women can't be members. Women can be property of members.
theIdris
Thanks, that's what I thought the case was.
Gink0
I don't know anything about biker gangs except for stereotypes on TV
Repostradamus
For many of the outlaw motorcycle clubs they're seen as property and treated as such.
Gink0
I hate to be pedantic but I guess ppl who treat ppl like property are also the kind of ppl who don't respect and care for their property
Repostradamus
You'd be mostly correct. In most cases unless it's their bike they don't seem to care.

My grandma was a welder in WWII. She said it was just like sewing. Man alive, was she a badass.
TheHappyCanadian
as a dude, I sew and tell guys it's like welding but with fabric

There's a good period piece comic called Night Witches if you're into the female experience of war.

As a welder, I always liken it to piping icing on a cake. If you can decorate a cake you can learn to lay down a tidy seam easy peasy.

She was a big fan and was annoyed that after the war she couldn't keep doing it. Grandma loved her mig.

Not quite as volatile but similar results right?

I've tried both--I can't sew.

I can't weld well either, but that's lack of practice. Sewing with a machine? Witchcraft.

To be fair to the guy in number 1, he was just a hardass about the rules. He did worse things to men. He's actually friends with her now.

Could you elaborate on that? Was she not signed up or something?
INEEDASSISTANCE
.
DoNotKnowJack
She signed up using her initials to hide her femaleness.
Butwhatwouldiwear
.
jjm152
she "snuck in" by using her initials. 'Unofficially' shes not even the 1st woman to complete the marathon (and she did it slower)
nevernudes
She was signed up but used her initials so they didn't know she was a woman

Listen to the Dollop podcast episode 177...it's hilarious how crazy that dude is

The rule was, women were not allowed to participate.

So as such, she was not allowed to sign up.

erugby
She signed up with just her first initial to get a number. Women weren't allowed to race. However, the year before, another women ran the 1/

Whole race but didn't have a number. The other woman also ran in 1967 and finished way ahead of kitzel.

nickg131
I'm assuming the 'rule' was that no women could run. So he enforced the rule. Maybe he wasn't 'personally' sexist. Just 'doing his job' =p
SheGetsHungryForDinnerAt8
Yeah she signed up as a man.
feeltheice
Indeed yer right.
RyanOldford
Correct. When it was made legit, he gave her a big hug before the race. He was just really serious about the race rules.
jjm152
He was a hard ass about the race rules. Read his wikipedia entry. The OP makes it seem like sexism, but he was just crazy.
JohnWilkesTableorBooth
That makes sense, thanks, pal!

I made up for it simultaneously with someone on another post about HRC being pro-women and pro-LGBT (She's not) It's a real shit show

A lot of horrible things were done by people "just doing their job."

Did you just jump from marathons directly to nazis?
princessvaliant
I didn't even mention Nazis.
Gibblesmish
Hey, I LOVED my time at the baby crushing factory!
nickg131
That's why I put it in quotes. It's not an excuse. Though in this case, letting her run may have cost his job, and stopping her didn't
nickg131
2. cause her lasting harm, so at the time, I can see the guy having a hard time about it. Gotta feed your kids somehow =\

Heavymettle
That proverb only works if you make an exception that any rule made by the offender is considered a valid rule. Genocide is illegal and
Heavymettle
it makes up the majority of mankind's worst tragedies. The only way to argue it in favor of that line is to say ppl followed orders but then
Heavymettle
You're arguing that the guy in charge and giving orders is "following the rules" by making up what he wants to do as the rules. Doesn't work
