50 Interesting Historical Pictures That Might Teach You Something New About Our World

That cat in the picture came for that kids soul...

Your name.... LOVE IT

*looked*

Second from the left

"Paul Neumann" 🤣🤣

Yea. The one with the beard.

They really do

no that would be horses

Too bad you didn't have this pic to show the jerk

My daughters Dad MADE them change oil at least once. Youngest called me once telling me her tire was flat. I took my floor jack in, but made her set up the included jack just to give her an idea of what it takes. She changed her tire in the supermarket parking lot. Our Danish exchange student made the mistake of laughing, Camilla got to participate.

One thing that rings true in every teen movie is that principals suck

I wasn't allowed to play the drums because I was a girl. :( Only the boys played drums in my grade school band.

Seriously? Thats insane. Luckily, it wasn’t that way for us. Heck we had girls in our shop classes in the 90’s. Heck we had a couple girls that made it on to our high school’s wrestling team.

In college, year 2017, my boss told this guy I was seeing that he was responsible for my emotions. This guy had attended one presentation that I was leading and dropped a sexist joke which was apparently well received. I'm not seeing him anymore.

And women fought to have rights, women were finally able to have rights and now we are starting to lose all of our right again because of the Supreme Court and the Republicans, it will get back to a point where the only place a woman will have will be the kitchen and the bedroom making babies.

I had to fight to be in shop class. I won it was seventh grade. 1982

Enlightenment- alas - does not travel at the speed of light. Or molasses in January.

Weirdly, my Principal was THRILLED when I enrolled in Diesel Mechanics at the Indian Capital Area Vocational Technical School in Muskogee, Oklahoma 1980-1982. Maybe it's because I already had enough credits to graduate, so they were purely elective credits.

1972 I signed up for a intro shop class. I was about 13. I was called into the principles office to try and talk me out of it. My parents had been discussing the lastes Supreme Count decisions on equal rights in education. They worked in education just not at my school. I pointed out that the Supreme Court said I could. I didn’t tell him I already knew how to cook and basic sewing since my mom had taught me those. Found out later he called my parents and was told the same thing. I was a very bright kid and stubborn as well. What I learned that 12 weeks was I could do it if I had too but I didn't really enjoy it. 50 years later I still can do minor repairs as a result so some good. Teach your kids their rights and to present them politely.

Pandas, did/do you have automechanics in school? I'm jealous

Well, how are you supposed to even do an oil change without a p3n!s? /s, obviously

To bad. Hope you went on to lerarn auto mechanics sny way.

A shame. Most times, our aptitude for a trade can be affected by our gender. Only because our minds are affected by our hormones, and make us process information that way, BUT if you were expressing the interest, it would have been nice to be able to try it out. Auto mechanics is extremely useful, if nothing else. In particular, on a high school level. I mean, oil changes, brakes, air cleaner...what else could they have been doing in 1 years time? Unless you wanted to do trade school with your high school education, like a half day. I know that those are quite in depth classes. I hope that you got to try out auto mechanics, coming from a female who knows a little bit about that stuff😊

in 2022/23 my granddaughter was allowed to take a mechanics course, encouraged actually

I couldn’t take shop either; just home economics.

maybe he (presume!) was right. The four gals in this pic are looking all over but don't seem interested in the flat tire!

That sucks. In my high school in the late 1970's we had no limitations.

I wasn’t allowed to play drums as a girl in the 70’s

In 1992 mine wouldnt let me take landscaping because i was a girl. Wanted me to take the scretary class. I did niether.

Booooo

Same here (1984 -1987)

No, his face just froze like that when he left the Post Office.

He knew he was being photographed...

Cold, but not without merit.

Sadly, you're probably right.

Anti vaxxers ain’t that bad
