really allowed into the front bar. That was the domain
of the men. And you had it, what did you
call it?

The ladies lady's lounge And it was actually sign posted
on the doors ladies lounge most pubs.

because he can't talk. He's so intimidated by women. They
must be kept in a separate part of a building.
He can't even speak.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
They don't sweat.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
That's a great getting a car when he's by himself
and just shout and sweat.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Also, he said, if a woman standing behind you like
there's no way you would let her sit next to you,
she would be part of the conversation.

Speaker 5 (01:42):

Speaker 1 (01:55):

an old current of I'm guessin this would have been
a big Landmark can't Affairs show back of the day,
pats Yeah, this day tonight.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yes, yes it was, it was massive. It was before
a current affair.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
It was like that, did you have I guess then
nationwide would have come along with it in the later
years as well, and we had nationwide in the eighties
you would have had that.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, we found this documentary which Patsy was telling us
about Jack and I had no idea that there was
male and female segregation in pubs here in Australia in
the sixties up until did you say seventy four?

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yeah, women barred from front bars.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
That happening clip we played before was nineteen seventy four
where at the start of women pushing to be allowed
in the front bar, do.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
You object to people like me walking in and having
a drink here.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Amongst gip I think for myself that the place for
women is the saloon bow on the lounge.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Why what's wrong with us without.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
If I want to talk or swear or something like that,
and the woman standing me, I mean you can't, can you?
You just what you can't or don't?

Speaker 1 (05:06):
We found this other clip You're afraid of women?

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Lead up?

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah, must be afraid of us hearing your language.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Well, Well, perhaps we're days and paper and we don't
like swearing in front of women.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Why is so obsessed with wanting to swear in public
spaces to go and do that? What was all like
swearing in another places? You can, like the rest of
us or anywhere else during the day you actually needed
to go somewhere in a room with other men that could.
It must have been so noise, probably like a Turette's
anonymous meeting. Everyone is bellowing and swearing at the top

(05:43):
of their voices.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
It's not like men. Rather than wanting to go and
have a drink and get drunk, you're more obsessed with
going to have a swear with your mates.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
It sounds like the worst pub to ever go into.
Are just a cuckoff and in symphony of like f's
and sea words and stuff like that, lea afraid of
women lit as.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Well, you must be afraid of us hearing your language.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Well, well, perhaps we're days and paper and we don't
like swearing in front of women.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
We found another clip here. This one's shocking.

Speaker 5 (06:15):
All right, I'm sorry I took your place.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
I think when I pushed in you don't mind me
being hidio I do?

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Why because you don't share it.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
You're only drink of water.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
So is he saying you don't shout around? Yes, yeah,
so women don't get rounds and they just drink pints
of water.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
To be drinking alcohol. If you're a woman apparently.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Blood was this lemon squash. You weren't allowed to swear,
you weren't real allowed to talk.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah, well, there was no place for women. You weren't
treated as an equal. It was as simple as that.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
I think we underestimate, especially in my generation, how bad
it used to be. That shocking.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I can't believe you didn't know. No, so mom, Dad
never mentioned it or anything.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
