Want to feel tired? Here’s how a working woman got dressed in the 18th century.

As a woman who sighs loudly each and every time I put on skinny jeans, this video shook me to my core. 

Clocking in at five minutes and 26 seconds, the new clip from CrowsEyeProductions shows how a Western “working woman” during the 18th century would have gotten dressed. To be honest, it’s strangely calming to watch at first — the lighting is nice and the narrator’s voice is soothing — until you realize that it’s been three minutes already and she still has, like, two more shirts to put on.

Women share their teen photos to slam Roy Moore’s alleged sexual misconduct

Since apparently believing women about sexual abuse that happened when they were young is just too much (and it’s easier for politicians to give a “safe” response that effectively protects abusers), Twitter users decided to clear things up with a powerful hashtag: #MeAt14.
