Feminism has destroyed the American Family,Women are bitchy,pissy,Man hating .everything is a mans fault.wells that pure Bullshit.,Id say roughly 75% of American Women arent wife material,thats why I would only marry a foreign woman.Hell id consider an illegal Mexican woman over most American Women.I dont have time or the patience to deal with the Fucked up,I dont need a man ,attitude.Fine Be by yourself ,your entire life,By some cats.put on a robe and nit,till ya fucking die,just my 2 cents
@mzmudcat cant handle the truth,I meant every word I said,Id take an illegal mexican women over 75% of American women.bottom line, they at least know how to treat thier men, unlike most American women,where its all about them all the damn time,and ladies no we dont want yall in the kitchen.you would burn water and burn down the house,.I know thier would be some women ,that couldnt handle ,Real talk,LOL

so she had to ask what her parents thought of her taking this class and her parents were deciding whether or not they should risk and sacrifice to send her to college? bet if junior there said he wanted to go, they would pull out the old checkbook and sign their lives away for tuition....sheesh good thing its not as bad today as it was then XP
@TheLazybandito That's my favorite part! Ever since we first saw this, my family and I have not been able to say "Well hi!" or "How ya doin'?" to each other without referencing that line.
10:36 there's an edit. The version on the Compilation cut the teacher lifting a second container and Servo says, "This Is Mucus". It is there on the version of this short during the "Viking Women..." episode. Weird edit...
This film prepared these four girls for careers outside the home. Jean wanted to be a fashion designer because she loved working with fabrics and clothes. Helen wanted to be a hospital dietitian. Kay wanted to be a teacher. And Louise wanted to work with household appliances.
Not all women back in the 50's, 60's, and 70's were housewives and mothers. They were either teachers, nurses, secretaries, office clerks, waitresses, or retail clerks. The womens' movement in the 70's changed all that.
Being a housewife is a job of its own, it doesn't make you lower than anyone else. It's just the mindset that makes it seem so bad. I don't agree that women should only have those two options but I don't think being a housewife would be so bad. Besides, you can always get a job if it drives you that crazy...
@Ravewithme19 I think most girls my age (28) feel that a house wife just sits at home and watches TV. My mom and most of the true house wives I know keep the home clean, make sure their children are well taken care of, do a lot of cooking and mending, etc. to keep costs down. I can't tell you how many "housewives" I meet have cleaning ladies.
No she didn't take shop class, but she saw "Mr Jhonson" using it to cut dead wood from a tree in the front yard. She just put 2 &2 together and trimmed a little dead wood herself.
So, were I a woman in the 1950's, even if I did elect to pursue engineering or mechanics of some sort, my only options are to major or Home Appliances or Bob Johnson?
You know, home economics can be pretty handy. Less to "become Mrs. Johnson," and more for the ability to take care of yourself when Mom and Dad aren't around any more. My mom's going to teach me how to sew soon and I've been learning how to cook, not because my vagina dictates that I must but because it's basic life skills that come in handy. And when I have kids, I'm going to teach them how to do the same so they can take care of themselves when they grow up.
You can make fun of these 50's and 40's video's all you like, but also note that it is these video's that give us a great understanding of life in those times, a fly on the wall view of how times were and to what they are now, these video's I say should be preserved for all time, so future generations can see how far our world and times have come and to understand our past. Long live Archives.org!
"Carol, who is now Mrs. Bill Johnson...". This depresses me so much! All of this skit is really down in the dumps. Oh man, to think how far behind society was relatively recently.
A college course on Household Equipment??? Uh you mean back in the 50s they actually had classes that did nothing except teach you the "proper way" to turn on your washing machine???
Is it me or is this short implying that women should always stay at home? Don't get me wrong. God meant for women to fall in love with great men and raise kids, but they can have a career and follow their own dreams too.
7:37 I don't believe it. Not even a freaking hug good-bye? Just a tap on the shoulder my Mom? Damn, this kid must've really been disliked severely (if not HATED) by her parents.
The sad truth of this short is that, this was pretty much all there was for women back then.Seems like the short is suggesting a life of servitude, rather then a career. I guess it's that or "become Mrs. Johnson"! I hate how he hardly looks up from reading his newspaper to see what she's made.DICK! Hope she waited for him to go to sleep, then cuts his head off with a bow saw.
@felson99 I agree this so called career study in home economics is nothing more than a manipulation used on woman back then to force them into a servitude existence to there husbands and men in general as you said, it truely is sick and disturbing, though its painted in glorified means.
this probably explains female depression and the common use of Lobotomy and the drug craze of the 60's.
@felson99 I suppose though even if you had a time machine and could go back in time, you still couldn't change the way people think in this strange time period, its just part of human evolution.
though despite its problems and indecency to woman this time period is very fascinating because so little is known about it, especially to newer generations, and there perception on life is intriguing if not flawed to say the least.
@dream6cold6code6 That is why there is such a generational gap between my grandmother and I. She was the housewife and obedient mother her whole life and now once her kids are grown and left the house and her husband is dead, she has trouble making decisions for herself.
@neunerx I think you preceptions of this short will be related to your age. Regardless of how you view this it is a fact that women were treated in a far different way back then. As far as her cutting of his head, hey, it's MST3 K. That much was a joke..........
@felson99 Then again, you didn't see many women studying engineering back then either. This was actually pretty progressive for its time. (Don't get me wrong, it still sucks. lmao)
@dantheman931 I don't think it was a option for them to be an engineer. It's a great MST3K short, but it indicates how women were viewed back then. Let's also remember that many women came out of the kitchen to build the wepons of WW II. After that women had their eyes opened to a world of possibilitys.IMO
@felson99 The further sad thing is that this is a step *forward* for what women were permitted to do. "You guys sick of manual labor? Get an 'education'!" Which means that they assumed that this servitude was something to dream of. All women want to be glorified baby makers, right? These people were clearly ridiculous; on the upside, they were trying to be progressive. LOL.
@felson99 You forget what was going on for the previous two decadse prior to this short being made. What people see now as 1950s society forcing conformity and women being repressed into gender roles was really a reaction to years and years of chaos and reversal of gender roles. There was the Great Depression where there was either men abandoning their families in times of want or in search of jobs, families migrating in search of food, families falling apart, then WWII with men disappearing
@felson99 ..in war, and women having to take their jobs. With the prosperity of the 1950s, suddenly everyone reacted with "Now back to 'normalcy' and in case you forgot what it was, here's how you do it." Hence these PSA films that seem so ridiculous to us nowadays. But don't gender roles are that far removed nowadays. Just look at TV commercials. It's not men obsessing over which paper towels are going to pick up the spill the best.
@LadyCrazyMonkeyPants I have seen that one too, Date with Your Family is out of the same mold as this one.
I suppose you can make the argument that people just didn't realize how absurd all of these shorts were. But I'm glad things have changed for the better.But MST3K made them all allot of fun!!!!!
@simonimyours I can give you some good reasons why it's better to be single than have a girlfriend, but I'm pretty sure you're too busy attention whoring to continue this conversation.
@MrProfessorElemental If I dealt with it like a man, I would be in jail right now for throwing your ass out a window. But instead, I'm stinging you with my comments and thinking with my brain, rather than with my dick. BTW, I'm sixteen. You're calling a teenage girl names, dude. Biiig victory!
@felson99 Nice to see how bitter feminism has made the poor modern American woman. You've been conditioned to reflexively hate men, and you don't even know it.
1:06 By this point, I would have cut my hair short, put on a baseball-cap and a jacket, and snuck into the boys' assembly to watch the film on industrial arts.
the teacher at the podium: "Y am I dubbed??" I would think a school kitchen would B hell for a kid to ponder as a career. Did these films ever promote low paying jobs? Every time: High paying good jobs. Did they think of our future as a jobless apocolypse?
I hate 8am classes. Unfortunately, a lot of colleges in my area of the country are just like high school after high school- go to class, work, then come home. As for me, being a poor college student, I work but don't make enough to live away from home.
"Most of these classes fit together" they make it seem like kindergarten!

@LadyCrazyMonkeyPants I have seen that one too, Date with Your Family is out of the same mold as this one.
I suppose you can make the argument that people just didn't realize how absurd all of these shorts were. But I'm glad things have changed for the better.But MST3K made them all allot of fun!!!!!

@simonimyours I can give you some good reasons why it's better to be single than have a girlfriend, but I'm pretty sure you're too busy attention whoring to continue this conversation.

@MrProfessorElemental If I dealt with it like a man, I would be in jail right now for throwing your ass out a window. But instead, I'm stinging you with my comments and thinking with my brain, rather than with my dick. BTW, I'm sixteen. You're calling a teenage girl names, dude. Biiig victory!

@felson99 Nice to see how bitter feminism has made the poor modern American woman. You've been conditioned to reflexively hate men, and you don't even know it.

I hate 8am classes. Unfortunately, a lot of colleges in my area of the country are just like high school after high school- go to class, work, then come home. As for me, being a poor college student, I work but don't make enough to live away from home.
"Most of these classes fit together" they make it seem like kindergarten!
