The Most Sexist Print Ads In History

4. CHRISTMAS MORNING

Yes, bow. Bow to the Hoover, your new master.

What was once a great Christmas gift is now the quickest way to make sure you get divorced.

If your wife is looking a bit grim around the corners of her mouth, give her a damn vacuum cleaner.

5. I WISH I WERE A MAN

This took the “I Want You” ad to a whole new level of shaming.

The message is clear. Join the war effort or you’re a girl.

Doesn’t get any more lucid than “BE A MAN AND DO IT.”

6. SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGES

Every story of true love begins in the kitchen. Why wait to put your new wife to work until after she’s out of her wedding dress?

And be sure to lord over her as she bakes you a pie. Don’t want her screwing up.
