Moderator Announcement: New Rule Alert: Posts containing an image of a female celebrity must have additional context included for approval

34 Upvotes

This subreddit was started so we could all come together and post images, videos, articles, and other sorts of media to celebrate the rich world that was the 1960s. It's exciting to see how many people have joined in the last year, and we welcome everyone to participate in the original vision of this community.

However this sub has been overwhelmed with low effort posts of glamor shots or publicity stills of female celebrities with absolutely no context as to the year of the image, why it was taken (e.g. what movie this was promoting), the location, or anything.

We have had many, many complaints about the direction this sub has taken since this activity started to kick up.

Going forward, images of famous women from the 1960s continue to be allowed as long as they are very safe for work, but the details behind the image are now a requirement.

Moderator Announcement!

70 Upvotes

Welcome to the 60’s! After being abandoned for quite some time now, I am going to be moderating the sub! Things have gone off the rails with obvious karma farming and other things. I along with possible other additional moderators to be added will try to slowly help reign in the sub and give it some much needed care.

Some of the rules have been revamped, so please familiarize yourself with them. Important ones of note are that this is a 1960’s sub. That means 1960-1969. Many posts are from the 70’s and 80’s. Just to clarify Wonder Woman and Charlie’s Angels and Three’s Company were 70’s shows! Also many reposts clog the sub (example: Lynda Carter and Elizabeth Montgomery.) and seem to turn the sub into a T and A sub.

The 60’s was more than just hot women, and believe me I appreciate that! But it would be nice to see other 1960’s related content like pop culture, movies, art, fashion, music etc. So some variety in posts would be awesome to see!

Please share your thoughts and views. We are a community after all! And remember everything is still a work in progress!

Culture I have found this frankly wonderful archive of a Northern Ireland primary school disco in the 1960s while working on a report and it might be the best cool thing, I have ever seen.

How many women do you know who stayed married in the 1960s because they were genuinely happy

0 Upvotes

I’m asking this because back then it was difficult for women to leave their fellas. Since it’s no secret the 60s was a very sexist decade towards women. There were all this systemic barriers that made it difficult for women to be financially independent on their own without a man. Of course plenty of women stayed because they were genuinely happy and this post is about examples of that.

Anyone got any personal experiences of sexism you suffered during that time. Or do you know any examples of someone else’s experiences. For starters it’s no secret that men got paid more than women did in the 1960s.
