Everything
SAN FRANCISCO - Women are ruining everything, members of the Olympic Club here, have decided. The men had one perfectly quiet and utterly masculine treat where the influence and interference of women never intruded -- the solarium -- atop the club building where the men take sun baths clad only in suits of sunburn. The Women's Athletic Club constructed a building across the street and built it higher than the Olympic Club building. Today the women's club served notice upon the Olympic Club demanding that it either abolish its solarium or clothe its members. --The Times Standard, 10 May 1927

The world
Women 'ruining the world' I just read about the article "Women against Wimp." It's time that America wakes up and realize that women are beginning to run society. They are ruining the world. They are getting award with what they want to get away with. Why not blast the woman who was allegedly involved with this? --The Mobile Register, 20 Mar 1994

Theater
Declares Women Are Ruining Theater London - Twice a year is sufficient for women more than 40 years of age to visit the theater. This is the opinion of St. John Ervine, the Irish dramatic critic, who some time ago brewed considerable storm when he announced that the Prince of Wales spoke with a cockney accent instead of using the pure, unadulterated king's English. The playwright added that the English theater was being ruined by women. He found that the bulk of audience at suggestive plays in London was composed of women. --The Rutland Daily Herald, 2 June 1926

Marriage
WOMEN RUINING MARRIAGE Sexual Anarchy Being Fostered by Independent Wives, Says Writer Question your husband and, if you succeed in drawing him out, you will probably learn that he regards much of the independence of married women with pronounced disfavor. It will hardly be maintained by honest minded women that this feeling is due to jealousy of female accomplishments in spheres outside the home. --The Enid Daily Eagle, 12 January 1928

Halloween Was Tamer Than In Years Gone By Halloween was not celebrated Saturday night, in the spectacular manner on the streets as has been the usual custom. Several years ago many beautiful and grotesque costumes were to be seen but the affair last night was a disappointment to many. --The Star Press, 1 Nov 1903

A Tame Halloween. If the present generation should go back to its kidhood, Halloween would be a hollow mockery. Times have changed and the materials for a successful Halloween celebration are gone. A few years ago every householder who was weather wise hid his front gate down cellar on the night when ghosts and witches prowl. Sometimes he wished afterward that he had taken the precaution to hide the whole fence. Those days are past. There are not a dozen old-fashioned picket fences in town and there is no fun in moving a wire fence. --The Beloit Daily Call, 28 Oct 1915

Halloween Won't Be Fun Anymore PASSAIC, NJ - Halloween may not be the same here anymore - if you're over 12. City commissioner Joseph Stanek has announced he will introduce an ordinance at the next City Commission meeting barring persons over the age of 12 from wearing masks in public. Stanek says the law is needed to protect against young thugs who don masks in order to commit crimes on Halloween. --Star-Gazette, 11 Dec 1964
