Just a bunch of sexist, vintage ads
By Ayushi Mona
The world around us is burning. The past few weeks have been difficult and I was (sorely) tempted to not write this week at all.
We are all coping in different ways - so this week - no opinions or facts, no gyaan, just a bunch of the most annoying sexist vintage advertisements for you to cringe or eye roll at.
Remember “This too shall pass.” Just like the era of these ads. Stay safe, stay strong.
Here goes:
Thank God, Whirlpool no longer has to tie women up to sell appliances.
Hint: Turn a bottle upside down in lukewarm water or just cut the seal with a knife.
Uncomfortable thing men wear: ties
Uncomfortable thing women wear: high heels, bras, body shapers, denims, poky fabrics, pants without pockets…
Well it’s 2021 and most men’s personalities on dating apps are basically their love for beer.
When I first saw this, I was sorely tempted to send a jar of kasundi through a time-travelling device.
Of course, that’s not a computer!
Yes, half-dressed women oblivious to pain are a thing.
Being a stewardess is a lot less nerve-wracking now, I presume?
This is not sexist, it’s straight-up disturbing paedo-nonsense.
Those pills and 60 minutes with the mailman…
I love it when they sell ‘boring’ categories through sex. Reminds me of a certain ad for cement that had a woman in a bikini…
Argghhhh.
A KFC ad that you don’t want to salivate over.
Still can’t believe they sold coffee like this.
Advertising is really terribly amusing in its own time and terrible many years later.
Cigarettes, violin and sex. Was this Mr. Draper?
