Everything about this is gross. It’s a good post, OP, but today it’s hard being a woman in the US & seeing half the population thinking that this is how it should be.

Or it could be a joke picture with some people having fun. Is there some context I'm missing?

In the US, a heavily misogynist candidate recently won the presidential election, along with a heavily misogynist party that has a very "Let's go back to the Good Ol' Days, when Men Were Men and Women Knew Their Place" sort of thinking.
It's a neat photo of the 70s, and it may not even be that any of the participants in the photo meant it in anything but a joking way, but I definitely get why, in context, some may find it... uncomfortable.

Alternate take: We should learn from history, and not pretend it didn't happen. Especially now.

He doesn't look like an Industrial Average!
That dude must have been pulling in some serious tail. It was the 70s, so I can say that, right?
Is ... Is that him?
Wikipedia says the Dow Jones Industrial Average was first published in 1896 by Charles Dow and Edward Jones the co-founders of the Wall Street Journal. But Wikipedia didn't exist in 1971 so a guy named Dow Jones could probably convince a lot of people he invented it.
