Men Won The 70’s
Men are better than women at everything, but doesn’t that also mean men used to be better than women at everything?
Yes it does. Men are better than women at the 70’s.
Let’s take a trip in the Way Back Manchine to a time of Disco dancing and Pet Rocks and when Jenny from Forrest Gump was busy getting herself a whopping case of AIDS — likely due to intravenous drug use or unprotected sex. That was typical woman behavior in the 70’s.
Clothing
In the 70’s, aviator glasses were all the rage for men. And look at that, they are still going strong today. So are mustaches. Mustaches are timeless. Men don’t dress themselves up like jackasses just because that’s what all their friends are doing in any decade. If you turn back the clock to any random year, you will see men looking classy every which way. Women, however, always look like they got separated from the rest of the freak show.
70’s clothing for women meant bizarre catsuits and hot pants with no embroidery on the ass. Hard to imagine I know. Gypsy Blouses, fucking Banana Jeans, The Bedazzler! Each women’s fashion item of the 70’s was as tacky and cheap-shit looking as the last. We had a saying in the seventies: you are what you wear.
Dancing
Dancing is about style and rhythm and motherfucking grace. Men love to dance. It’s a common misconception that we don’t. Shit, we invented it. Men just don’t like to dance when it involves standing around looking like a schmuck and not drinking a drink for twenty minutes. Put some style into it and get all the women the fuck off the dance floor; then you’ll have yourself a real cockfight.
Unless they’re taking their clothes off, women can’t dance for shit. Go research some of the dance steps used in the 70’s. If you think women can remember instructions of that magnitude, then why don’t you just call the government and tell them to arrest you for massive tax fraud. I would say “then why don’t you just let a woman do your taxes,” but phoning in the fuck-up is faster.
Equal Rights Fucking Amendment
Boy was that an embarrassment. The Equal Rights Amendment was like if Babe Ruth had walked out to the plate, pointed to center field, and then shit his pants.
The only thing women did right in the 70’s was discover Anorexia.

In a time where women were too busy trying to work out which type of an office secretarial technician they wanted to be, men were in their most effective mode. Not giving a fuck about women.
Kick arse Mutherfuckers like Gene Simmonds (KISS) ruled, exposing the main functionality of a women, a cum rag. And chicks loved it even at the height of the feminists movement.

Well, yes and no. Until the 1977 the music was pretty good, then disco came along and fucked it all up. It was pretty easy to get laid, but as Denis Leary points out in “No Cure For Cancer” all we had to wear were stupid looking bell bottom pants and polyester shirts, making it much more difficult. The drugs were great, but you couldn’t buy a decent beer in the US.
And the chicks walked around bra-less.

The 70s kicked ass in many ways: 1. apart from the disco stuff, the music was better, and, no surprise, dominated by men who knew how to play their instruments and wrote their own songs. A girl band would have been thought of as a joke, unless it was Motown or something along the lines of Patti Smith, who was basically a man, anyway. 2. people were generally honest with themselves and, with no phoney political-correctness to fuck things up, the natural order of things occured, with men in all the rights places, doing all the right things. 3. muscle cars ruled, and there was really no such thing as a chick car (like 90% of the shit were are sold today). 4. chicks were loose and liked being objectified by men (they still do today but disguise it with garbage like “girl power” etc.). and 5. the male actors of the day (steven mcqueen, clint eastwood) were cool, rotten dudes who didn’t take shit from anyone, unlike the sensitive pony-tail types we have today, worried about how their actions would be interpreted by any one of a number of “social concerns.”

I hope the drugs were worth it because the equal rights amendment wouldn’t have happened if men alive then were smacking women into place and winning southeast Asia.
Instead of getting high.

It was a combination of that and the “human potential movement”, which had everyone in therapy getting in touch with their feelings. That more than anything else turn men into pussies. Most of the men were high, self-involved, and getting in touch with their “feminine side”. Barf. There’s a reason Tom Wolfe called the 70’s “The Me Decade”.
I was a teenager throughout the 70’s, and although I may not have been much of a manly man back then, even *I* knew that whole scene was fucked up. (For the record, I have never, ever been in therapy, and haven’t been high since the 80’s.)
Chris, everything you said was 100% accurate. And I miss having keggers up in the mountains with 200 of your closest friends. As long as you didn’t behave like assholes, the police would generally leave you alone. Try doing that these days.

True. It needed a 2/3rds majority of states to ratify it, and it failed by two or three.

You’re right, Sam. You couldn’t get away with those types of parties today. No way.
BTW: I see more and more women as police “officers” around and about, although they are, for the most part, assigned to the “soft” beat, such as beach patrol, where nothing happens, being there only by virtue of some dumb-ass quota system paid for with my tax dollars.
As an illustration, last night I saw two of them, meeting for the first time (they were with two male officers, no surprise). While the dudes were taking care of whatever they were taking care of, the chicks talked about how “cool” it was to see more women in the “force.” Please. I almost wretched.
Meanwhile, these fat pigs continued to gab until they got bored, and then decided to ride their little ATV beach things around in circles (literally), giggling to each other.
I shit you not.

How about the video with some kids taping eachother skating on a sidewalk and some female beat cop snatches the kid and throws him to the concrete.
If it was a male cop who just snatched some girl off her bike and threw her down you’d all know about it because the news cunts would be whining 24/7.
Just like the Don Imus “tragedy”.

This is a brief pro and con of my recollections of the 70’s. As you read this, consider the contribution of women to each point. It seems pretty clear men made almost everything, for better or worse, happen. The contribution of women was minimal, peripheral, even — dare I say — completely unimportant. It emphasizes the point: What the fuck do women DO?
Anyway, enjoy.

@Sam — That’s a fascinating list. I have to ask you, though… “Good: The best home stereos ever made (many still working perfectly today)”
Really? Surely for an audiophile, the pinnacle (for analog sound reproduction) in amplifiers was reached in the 60’s with relatively reliable tube designs. For playback, probably a clean well-made stable 18-bit DAC setup from CD. Or maybe DVD-DA. Maybe. And speakers? I don’t know. I’m happy with mine from the 90’s, but I sure can’t hear to 20k anymore. But some of the boutique speaker manufacturers in the 70’s were pretty good, I’ll grant that.
Sorry, for me when I think “hi-fi” and the 70’s I think vinyl records, cassette tape, and 8-track. But I missed a good part of the 70’s.
Of course, women had nothing to do with anything of the above either, so your central point holds.
Best,

The complete lack of political correctness sounds like the most appealing thing to me. Must have been great, not having to walk on eggshells around everybody.

@ Wolfe — I was speaking particularly of amplifiers and speakers. I should have been more specific. You may be right about amplifiers. The really best amplifiers, even in the 70’s, were designed with tubes, which gave them a “warmer” sound.
My brother still has a mid-line Pioneer stereo he bought in 1980 and it works perfectly. A young friend of mine bought a circa 1974 Marantz 4270 which he regards as the centerpiece of his home entertainment system. And I have my dad’s set of speakers he bought in 1975 and they produce a sound matched in my opinion only by few modern speakers. None of this really proves anything, it just represents my blowhard opinion.
But you’re right, playing audio then required expensive equipment to get good fidelity, and if you had a crappy turntable, your top of the line amplifier and speakers still sounded like crap. CD / DVD technology is a godsend.
And I don’t know any women who are really into good sound reproduction. What the hell is wrong with them?

It can’t. But womens’ small minds need some way to try to understand what’s going on, so they make up idiotic ideas to explain what they see.
I could never grasp the concept of burning water either, but I’ve seen many women who were exceptional at it. LOL!

You guys struck a chord with me here. Ahhhhh, those seventies. I finished high school a year early, did a term in the Navy (Saigon was falling and they were pushing helicoptors off carrier flight decks into the ocean to make room for the refugees),
Peter Frampton “wanted you to show him the way”, big bags of pot were called lids cost about 10 bucks (that’s about 4 fingers worth), the movie deep throat was all the rage and had to be seen in the “pussy cat” theater cause video was not consumer ready yet.
You never wanted to shake anyones hand in one of those places, especially Peewee Hermans.
We wore Levy bell bottoms and rode Harleys that you actually had to kick start and had no suspension. gas was around 45 cents a gallon, anything on the menu at taco bell was .25 cents and you could get a bell-beefer sandwhich (taco-bell, bring those fuckers back).
I had a mustche then as I do now exceept now it’s gray. I still look bitchin albiet my well earned beer belly.
Did you notice, I haven’t mentioned women yet and probably won’t because they were so insignificant then and didn’t matter maybe except to “suck start” your harley (HeHeHe).
Spoke too soon, porn was in its infancy and the women didn’t work out or use silicone. They had big natural boobs and big fuckin hairy bushes! There was a hep-cat named Russ Meyer that made these great big boob movies. If you can still find them, it’d be worth your while to roll them.
There were only two major contributions that I can recall through my drug induced haze that women did, one was to burn their bras.
I really don’t know what the significance of that was except to liberate their boobies from the man-made constraints, but let me tell you brother, boobs were flowing like beer at an Octoberfest in germany.
ACHTUNG BABY!
Linda Lovelace made the other contribution. She showed the world what could be done if a woman put her head to it. “Deep-Throat” became synonamous with all things naughty.
She could actually swallow a 13 inch kielbasa and not choke, amazing! I am told she practiced on bananas, cucumbers and Harry Reems.
Women didn’t land on the moon, find a cure for polio or win the brickyard 500.
There you have it, two contributions by women in a decade!
I don’t remember disco. I was over seas when it was popular in the U.S and returned state side when it got popular over there. I was also abroad during the bicentenial year.
I did have the most killer stereo system though. Unfortunately, vacume-tubes were becoming unpopular then and were replaced by refrigerater sized, solid state receivers.
They were loud, reliable and rock-solid. You could power a stadium with them, spill beer all over them and they would come back for more!
We’d buy them overseas and ship them back for cheap and they lasted and lasted. You can find good stuff on ebay if you know what you’re looking for.
What are high priced classics today were cheap everyday transpo then. I drove a ‘69 chevelle “SS” 396 (400 hp) and you could actually watch the gas gauge needle drop at a stop light, run the quarter mile in under 10 seconds and at .45 cents a gallon, who gave a shit!
Thanks for the walk down mamary lane.
It was a hoot!

Banzai, thanks for posting that. I used to think I hated to ’70s, but it seems I have some pretty sentimental attachments to those times, as troubled as they were. It was a weird time: Kent State, Vietnam, Tricky Dick and Watergate, Gerald “bonehead” Ford, the peanut farmer, “double digit inflation”, and blowback from our coup d’etat in Iran. Damn, what a time. But even with all that, it was STILL a simpler time than now.
You sound like an interesting guy, and as a fellow geezer we probably have something to talk about. Drop me a line — you can find it in the man forums.

This person is crazy. I guess crazy and sick sells books. As a woman i am highly offended. First, women created dancing. Second, you are GAY as Hell. There couldn’t be a bigger HOMO out there than you buddy. Even if they had their penises tattooed the color of the rainbow. Your’e a freak, seek help. Women and Men…. Boycott this book, unless your a Homo and hate all women too, even your mother (which sadly, can be possible).

As a woman, you are highly bitchy, short-sighted, small-minded, and liable to be a Lumberjack Lesbian, because as all real men know, the first thing a dyke desperately wants, but can never have, is a mans’ dick, so they MUST make fun of it…..
So much for your gay argument…….fag.
Buy this book, because it pisses off retards that want to run your life because they exist and own vaginas. Even someone as weak as Sandy has hope, but stupidity by choice is pathetic, which IS possible, as she proves.

Well spoken, Banzai!
The carrier flight deck that you speak of was the USS Midway and I, personally, was aboard her then!
That operation was known as “Operation Frequent Wind” and you can Google it to see a bunch of images from the time. Also, I am in several of those images (tho, quite a bit younger and fitter than now!)
During those three days of operations, South Vietnam President Thieu (or something like that - I never COULD speak or spell the lingo!) - flew onboard with hundreds of pounds of heroin. He was planning to use it as cash in the States. It went over the side along with his helicopter.
It was an amazing time, all right. Every few years I pull out the old cruise book to reminisce!
Thanks for the reminder.
