Who do you trust more? Dr Fauci or Dr Seuss?
No she didn’t. This is one of many fake memes targeted for conservatives so they look like idiots when they pass it on. I just block the people who start these. Funny thing, they are about always anonymous accounts, “Freedom News” and such bullshit.
Its kind of like when a woman dresses in a revealing manner, “Oh no I don’t think of you in a sexual manner…” ignoring human instinct. Telling a dog he’s a vegan…
This iconic photo from Alfred Eisenstaedt has an amazing history. By incredible luck or skill this shot was about as perfect as you get. The white uniform of the nurse, the dark uniform of the sailor. The secondary subject of the onlookers. The incredible background of Times Square in all its glory. The dramatic pose of the main subject. Color (it appeared a week later in Life magazine as a two page spread, and Life magazine was a big magazine. A two page spread would have been about 16″ x 24″) to capture the joyous nature of Victory over Japan. A navy photographer was about 10 feet to the right of Eisenstaedt and took his own photograph. It was in black and white, cut them off at the knee, and only had blah buildings for the background. But that photo is actually what more people saw. Eisenstaedt’s photo was copyrighted and had limited release, even though it was 10 times the photo. But most importantly, the photo was a lie. It was actually a sexual assault. The dental hygienist had no desire to be kissed by the drunken sailor. He was simply overpowering in strength and she had no choice as she later reported. People forget just how incredibly strong a young man was back then just out of war. Working like a dog for four years, many hours past 8. They were lean mean fighting machines. Not the soft beer bellies of today. They were heavily muscled men of war. If she was a willing subject, he wouldn’t have had to bend his left arm to use his forearm to lock her head in place.
