I do believe that you are correct. I also wonder if something else is at play. Compare the average young woman of 40 years ago with young women today. On average, it seems as though bone structure has changed. Fewer and fewer girls seem to have the pelvic structure necessary for noticeable hips; they appear to be narrower and narrower. But you are correct about the fashionmakers; compare Raquel Welch in the 1960s with the average contemporary runway model.

All because the homosexuals got into the fashion industry and wanted to make women look like their fantasy (young boys).

In the early 1990s, David Spade made a similar commentary on Saturday Night Live. He stared the bit with, "Do you remember when models were pretty?"

I think many of the viewers have no clue this is almost 100% spot on to how it was back then. And as for the advertising industry, its shockingly accurate.

She is fit but not grotesquely muscled. Paulina is still easy on the eyes.

Are you talking about the scene in episode 1, where Peggy Olson is in the stirrups at the Gyno office and the doc lights up? Yeah, that was hilarious. Same as when the preggo neighbor is smoking, drinking and eating raw meat. Or where the neighbor slaps the other neighbors kid for spilling the drink and the father doesn’t even bat an eye.

I know I am right to an extent, but there are other things contributing to this intentional destruction of "old-fashioned" ideas.

They want to create androgynous people...create gender to mean NOT just men and women--to redesign our thinking so we no longer think in absolute terms according to Natural Law.

Marxists want there to be no difference between men and women--they want women in the work force, so the state can raise and control the thinking of their future little Marxists. Schools are design to make conformity the number one thing in the classroom which is transmitted to all kids--one way to think about everything (communist way)= capitalism bad, God doesn't exist, rich people are evil, morals are relative, etc., sex is good and the desire should always be acted upon regardless, etc.

It is all about deconstructing the "thinking" that made this country great--The Classical Christian paradigm of Western Civilization.

Homosexual movement was co-opted by Marxists to destroy the family unit--make marriage obsolete and meaningless, destroy religions based on the Bible, put women in the workplace so they are not able to raise moral and emotionally healthy children when children are known to need a loving parent's guidance for the first 7 years of life. That creates individualism and moral adults who do not need (or want) governments telling them what to do....can't have that individualism.

Children raised away from their loving family show dysfunction, are not loyal to family (Hitler youth) and feel isolated and alone and so are easily led into communes where they feel loved and needed (a human instinct that has proven to be best fulfilled by a nursing mother who has a supporting father so the woman can have the time needed to teach and raise an emotionally healthy child.)

The disinformation and teaching the Big Lies--such as homosexuality is genetic, or the Bible is hate literature because it dares to declare certain sex acts as degrading and nihilistic and evil.

Another effect of taking mother's out of the home: Horrible diets for children which affect bones, etc.

My mother had a beef roast with potatoes and vegetables, etc, cooking when I came home from school. We always had a healthy sit down dinner. Always. We also had a nutritious breakfast--oatmeal, cream of wheat or eggs and toast and fruit and healthy lunches and we always had plenty of exercise. Overweight children with emotional and psychological problems were very rare.
