Women vs Pop Culture
Found strangled to death, with his own tie, three days later.
After my recent post regarding the problems with older films, I got thinking about gender and popular culture.
You mean a woman could shatter it over the edge
of a table and ram the jagged end into your condescending man-bits?
Locating examples of vintage chauvinistic advertising is depressingly easy.
Hard to tell if this is any better than the original ad, which, instead of “wives”, said “black people.”
What’s frustrating, to me at least, is that there seems to be a general assumption that these are relics of some ancient past, and not, say, something our own parents would have commonly seen in magazines lying around the house.
Is it always illegal to be drunk at work? Don’t ask Mr Hobo.
I’m sure glad we’ve moved beyond our chauvinistic past.
