This NY Times article should qualify for the Walter Duranty Prize for socialist nostalgia.

Well O'Tink, (ahem), all I can say is I BEEN TELLIN' you that we need some systemic changes here in the good old US of...;)  :P  <3  :blush:

In your article, this was from 1952! "Some even argued that men need to share housework and child rearing, otherwise there would be no good sex."

And btw, WHERE do you come up with all this stuff! Red hair on MUMMIES? ...and I really did not know that Russia enacted women's suffrage in July 2017, three years before the US.

Yes, Virginia, the men cleaned up the two-room flats while the women stood in line for hours at the state-run grocery store. :D

For vodka, the state-set price was three rubles! (My currency converter has that at 5¢...) Oh the good old days, 5¢ vodka plus more better sex...  :O  :D

TheOtherTink Virginia

Virginia, without the sex and the cheap vodka, European communism would have collapsed long before 1990.  :D

Not much those cannot fix! (I just checked my own brand...Balinoff...I thought it was from Russian potatoes but no, it's the French wheat...)

TheOtherTink Virginia

I like Laird's Applejack brandy.  A teaspoon or two in coffee on weekends is REALLY yummy.  :)

Virginia Virginia

Ah, you O'Tink are clearly a connoyzeeyr...

Lol - I must say that about the "better sex" - well, I didn't think about it, but it seems quite (not quit):D logical, as we heard a lot about the better conditions for women in the formerly socialist East European countries, namely East Germany:

And that reminds me of a certain tale about the "lazy" wife:

They had better males.

Marianne Goranko

:O:angel::D

Oh, really? Lol!

TheOtherTink Goranko

@ Marianne,

What they really had was more demanding females, as Rooster's picture down below shows.  :O :D

Rooster

Maybe the Russian women of today but I would be scared of the women of that time. Women probably had better sex then or they would beat the men silly! :D
