(1,832 posts)GIRLS SAY YES to boys who say NO (1968) tries to undermine mainstream American cultures association of manhood with military action. The three women pictured are all wearing hats, a method of glamorizing the women. The poster features Joan Baez and her sisters Pauline and Mimi. Baez was a musician in the 1960s, and encouraged resistance to the draft during her concerts. She suggested that women who were against violence should be more interested in men who resisted the military draft. This poster was created by Larry Gates and was sold to raise funds for the Draft Resistance movement.

(51,624 posts)I would like this used for gun control. "It tries to undermine mainstream American culture's association of manhood with gun ownership".
Thanks for the info. They sort of resemble each other.

(297,528 posts)I kept my husband out of Vietnam with 2 little babies, though.
Now he's rw fux truther bush/trumper.
We divorced a long time ago.. when I heard about his fux viewing from my son.. I thought "It never would have worked out.. good thing I got out early".
My kids are both Dems.
I am very happily divorced from another fux news,christian, conservative trump supporter. Since 2004. He supported Bush and the Iraq war and I just could not take it. I was organizing AGAINST the war. We argued all the time and I walked out. Best thing I ever did. It was a bitter divorce but I got custody of my daughter who is even more liberal than me!
