美国历史上针对女性的9条奇葩禁令1

Although men and women now enjoy relatively good social, economic and political parity in this country, it wasn’t always the case. Believe it or not, these were all real things that women could not do.

虽然美国现在男人和女人的社会、经济、政治地位近乎平等，但历史上并不总是如此。信不信由你，下面这些就是历史上女性曾经被禁止做的事情。

1. Wear Revealing Swimsuits

不准穿过于暴露的泳装

During the 1920s, beachgoing women were expected to adhere to strict guidelines about how much skin they could reveal. There were actually law enforcement details whose sole responsibility was measuring women’s suits with measuring tapes. Infractions could be punished with arrest.

20世纪20年代，前往沙滩的女性被要求遵守严格规则，皮肤的裸露面积不得超过一定值。实际上，有些执法人员的唯一指责就是用卷尺测量女性的泳装，违法人员可能会被逮捕。

2. Run in the Boston Marathon

不准参加波士顿马拉松

Up until 1972, women were barred from running in the Boston Marathon. Roberta Gibb wasn’t about to wait, though. In 1966 she insisted on running uninvited and unregistered. The next year, a woman named Katherine Switzer signed up as “K.V. Switzer” and was issued a number. She was greeted by a number of angry men, including Jock Semple, a race official who chased her, tried to rip off her number and (unsuccessfully) attempted to bully her off the track.
