so I'm watching a documentary about the great depression and I decide to look up FDR and I come across this.

look at this shyt. apparently in the 1800's prior to a kid being potty trained, they put boys in dresses. they called it "breeching"

I can understand a young kid wearing a robe like the pope to make it easier for them to change diapers, but why he gotta have a girl hairstyle and frilly hat and baby doll shoes with ruffle socks

"The main reason for keeping boys in dresses was toilet training, or the lack thereof. The change was probably made once boys had reached the age when they could easily undo the rather complicated fastenings of many early modern breeches and trousers"

Sure, but the hair?

 

[Coco Loco]

Yup, lots of baby boys wore dresses. Wild times but that was normal

He has on mary janes too. Lordt!

That haircut is diabolical



What's the documentary OP?

something about a nazi town, but they talk about FDR, so that's why I looked him up.

the hair, the hat and the shoes are all egregious.

there's gotta be some kinda pedophile element to this I'm thinking.

Not at Harlem Daycare

He married a hard-faced lesbian in his later years and found demon time and Harlem thereafter. FDR ran through many hoes….
