  1. In the news today was a story about the death of Greta Friedman, aged 92, who in her youth was the young lady who was grabbed and kissed on Times Square in New York City by a jubilant sailor who was overjoyed to hear that Japan had surrendered and WWII was over. The iconic photo of the spontaneous kiss, by Alfred Eistenstaedt, would undoubtedly fall foul of Facebooks prurient and relentlessly PC editors on the grounds that it is a photograph of a sexual assault.

  2. Actually it was the bicycle that opened the doors to women's leaving the traditional long skirts and Victorian fashions, and bringing bloomers into fashion - the thin end of the wedge for the shift to trousers. World War II and the need for women to take up crucial factory jobs hitherto reserved for men completed the change, ushering in the wearing of trousers by women in a major, and lasting way. Feminism didn't have much to do with it.
