Kind of off topic but the first thing I noticed was how similar their accents sounded to British ones to me- I thought they were in the UK until I realized this was featured by the ABC. Nowadays the distinction between accents is much clearer, to me anyway.

They talk gentlemen saying they don't wanna swear in front of women and she says they're afraid of women oh my lord!

At that time I was a young married man with long hair. I avoided these places and men like the plague they probably thought I was.

The fact she can't understand that they don't want to act disrespectful in front of women says a lot about them

What a pleasant ray of sunshine she is. Why would anyone not want someone like her around while trying to relax?

Men looking for a space to be men. It's odd to see now but I guess I understand what they're trying to say. Some of those fellas are mad crude though.

Back then it wasn’t acceptable to swear in front of women, now women swear more than men.

Ah, the time when every man was automatically right - except perhaps when another man disagreed with him... and that is how the fights started 🙂

I was 20 then with long hair. Male. Probably would not have been served in that bar either. Thank goodness those days are gone.

Arrr the good ole days. Should be more places like this today! Men should be allowed to have their own spaces free of women. And vice versa.

it’s strange. it seems as though the men want to respect (?) the women that come in but are disrespectful when doing so. honestly they probably use “respect” as a mask for their misogyny
