Those of us born in the UK (and maybe in America?) will remember life described in video below:

There might be manners that nobody remembers today but the strict rules of the time were only on the surface. Scratch the surface and a whole other world was waiting. I'm talking about all the things nobody spoke openly about from cross-dressing husbands to children born out of wedlock. You name it was all happening just as much as it is happening today. Today we are a bit more open and not prepared to abide by meaningless rules. Women were first to break the rule book; now men are breaking their bonds.
I am not a crossdresser, I am a free man!

Re: 10 British Manners Nobody Remembers Today
Only one thing I'd argue BM., it wasn't women, it was war, especially 1914-1918 that created the beginnings of change.
The horrors of the first and the outcome of the second world war meant that the false constructs of a hypocritical society could not be tolerated in this country.
I'm pretty sure that was voiced by "Concerned of Tunbridge Wells" as sponsored by that bastion of truth and irreproachable journalism, "The Daily Wail"
Ah, the good old days!

Stevie, yes war gave women the opportunity to make changes in their lives but i have read (not being there) that stories of the horrors of war were largely pushed aside. I don't blame them; because hearing about the terrible details can be too much. Whereas the men who experinced it day after day had no choice.STEVIE wrote: ↑Mon Nov 17, 2025 2:07 pm Only one thing I'd argue BM., it wasn't women, it was war, especially 1914-1918 that created the beginnings of change.

The false constructs of a hypocritical society are still very much still with us. Isn't why the life (as mouse recently said) of an MIS is never easy. Or is it?
Skirts Dad just posted himself ice skating with his mates in a rara skirt and leg warmers. This has to show eveyone that the demons are in our heads and the closed minds that refuse to open their eyes.
Its all about freedom.
