Easy Does it, Ladies

[earthtripgirl]

I do have an inexhaustible supply of pep and ginger.

[jpena412]

Ugh, this iron is too heavy, I guess I'll just have to work as a CEO so I don't have to do any physical activity. Shucks.

[1955JAFO]

watch Women: Know Your Limits...hilarious!!

[6motion6]

Who knew that housework is such a workout?

[SpeakingFriendlish]

Their math is a little faulty. If she really lifts 12 tons in 50 trips a day, then she must weigh 480 pounds!

[marelicainavokado]

High heels, of couse, should be worn during housework to make work harder, and for a higher possibility to fall down stairs and twist an ankle.

No one will be seated during the thrilling analysis of the sewing machine sequence!

"Here's to the ladies, the fair and the weak!"

[emilysgama]

Wow, I'm speachless.... but I suppose that happens to us weaker sex sometimes.... right husband?

[misskate108]

They were not trying to show men the work women did/do, they were trying to justify women being kept in those roles. Also, trying to show how men fulfilled their roles in helping and providing for women by creating gadgets that are "time and energy" saving. In every single aspect, the women is passively accepting of what the man or her job description offers.

The invention of gadgets haven't given us free time, but reasons to work harder in order to afford what we are told that we need.

[scaramoochscaramooch]

why is she wearing those shoes while doing housework? Did women do that in those days..My feet would be killing me....

[scaramoochscaramooch]

this 'fragile creature".........lol

[hippee77]

I like when he has to wear the dress 4:22

[GayLesbian]

Lol to this day, the most advanced thing you can find in makeup would be vibrating mascara

[OS253]

I rather be a homemaker. At least you don 't have your boss watching over your back.

You don't have to commute to work. No more traffic headaches.

[Artevibe]

While the amount of sexism is up for discussion, I still wonder what the point was. As in, why make this film at all?

[Lucailey]

Its great that they wanted men to see how much work women did but, the fact that he keeps calling her little,dainty, a clinging vine, or a little woman just contradict the message. This really sends mixed messages.

[Skandranon2148]

I found this actually pretty respectful of women. It went on and on about how hard workers they are, on par with men.

[electrogeek77]

It's pretty condesending. It's only paying lip service to "equality". It still divides "men's work" to "women's work", and often implies that women can only do certain things (like driving) once the task has been simplified somehow.

[Katgrl18]

Remember the old shorts that always poked fun at woman drivers. Even in 101 Dalmations Cruella is called a crazy woman driver.  Being respectful doesn't mean talking about women as if we're little kids.

[kakliza]

@electrogeek77 bet they'd freak out if they knew the 1990s and 2000s have women astronauts, race car drivers and Prime Ministers.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Aristartle]

What. The. Fuck.

[1Sunrose]

Wow now we can work even harder, because we have it so easy...sick

[lenhill]

Great music ending during the "THE END" title

[TruSlack]

Yep, it is a real film from the late 30's.

[stephanie1977]

Is this thing for real? Im not one of these people to be offended by it at all but geez it just seems so dumb.
