Someone Digs Up Vintage Photo That Supposedly Victimizes Men And Women, Gets A Well-Deserved History Lesson

If you read it on the internet, you need to research it. Or you can jump to conclusions and share your thoughts, blaming Western society for oppressing its members. Recently, a black and white photo from 1937 has resurfaced once again, showing two women dressed white in shorts walking down a street.

This staged picture (City of Toronto Archives, Fonds 1257 Series 1057 Item 4766) was taken by Toronto-based commercial photography firm, Alexandra Studios, and has been posted on the internet many times. Usually with a caption, saying that this was the first time females rocked shorts in public, and the sight even caused a guy to crash his car. While both claims are actually false, most people don’t bother to background check the photograph. Including this person.

Here’s another photo that was taken at the same location on the same day

I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

I think the person who said these women didn't cause a car crash was right. If it did happen, it's not their fault. Thankfully it didn't happen! I go on Pinterest a lot and I see the first two together, but never have I seen the rest of it!

They stated pretty clearly it was a staged photoshoot.

Fsd Sghh, there is no evidence whatsoever that men are evil since this was a photoshoot. Most likely these men are extras in a film or random people on the street.
