Only about a generation or so ago, THIS SHIT WAS ACCEPTABLE!
It beggars belief, the stuff they printed back then.

I mean seriously, WTF? It boggles the mind - even the "funny" ones are playing to seriously sexist mindsets. Some of that stuff could actually be considered ironic and edgy today, but it was serious back then! As serious as any modern ad!

And you just found this out now?

There's a difference between "knowing" there's a turd in the bowl and actually seeing the turd. Also, the magazines these have appeared in don't seem to be the same kind of old magazines I occasionally browse through on Google books.

Is that Goldie Hawn in the mini-driving ad? Yep, at least a few things have changed.

14 fingernails? How does that make any sense?

Maybe she's a reincarnation of Shiva.

It means she spent so much time cleaning it "once," that some of her already broken nails grew back enough to break again before the deed was done.

I'm not real sure on the original context, but I can tell you where I'm going with it, pretty much the same place as that coffee ad...

Doh, it's "naked on the floor next to your shoe."

The first one is entirely wrong. We would have never called them "douches" back then. We called them "hot water bottles".

And no one with an ounce of tact would have called them anything else.

I didn't think women were allowed to wear shoes in the house or is that just the kitchen?

I remember browsing through my parents' National Geographics and seeing an airline ad (Pan Am or TWA, I think) with "We have the prettiest stewardesses of any airline" and going wow.

I am thinking that quality prints of these would look fantastic framed in our house. We're doing a buck-naked 1920's women motif in the stairway (I found scads of framed b&w vintage photos of nude women from that period at an antique store). I think 1950's sexism would be a good theme for our kitchen or upstairs hallway.

My Norwegian relative has his two-holer outhouse decorated with 20's era burlesque postcards. I like the 50's ideer.

I thought this was about sexism? I have yet to see a sexist ad......

My mother attempted to attend airline stewardess school. She was declined due to the gap between her two front teeth. I'm not sure of the time frame. It was probably in the late 50s/early 60s.
