I can see why birthrates peaked in the GDR in the early 70s…

    Sis I’m envious too but the comrade who posted this added “I can see why birthrates peaked in the GDR in the early 70s”. The post, in general, is obviously leering at these women.

    Edit: also, even in centering one’s relationship to the subjects as envy, this indicates that the way this post works sees the womens’ (attractive) bodies as the central content, and historical context as pastiche which can project meaning onto it.

      I’m more jealous of the whole concept of just being in one of their shoes, it seems they’re having a good time. Of course they’re attractive and that’s part of the context but I don’t have any good friends I feel I can hang out like this with really here in America without it getting weird cause Americans are really weird about nudity. I’ve been to saunas with people in Germany before but I wouldn’t describe them as good friends.

        Gotcha - apologies for misreading intent to your message, that’s definitely a failing on my part. I’m sorry that you feel isolated that way, and I do hope you can find some friends who you can connect to on that level.
