Ahhhh........ The good days.
Oh, there's still a market for that one.
Of course, it’s the reverse now. Every man, and especially every husband or father, is portrayed as an incompetent bumbling idior by the media.

Oh please....we see this same crap all the time, today. Only now it’s the “Superior Female” over the “Dullard Male”.
How many fingers does the woman in the 7th ad have? (She says she broke 14 fingernails.)
Interestingly, there’s somewhat of a trend toward returning to 50’s era kinds of values, where Papa is the real head of household and actually wears his hat as provider and protector, and Mama is in charge of the house, the children, and everything domestic.
I’ve read quite a lot of commentary by women over the last few years where they’ve discussed that very thing. Seems that a lot of women are sick to death of perpetually adolescent men and simps who can’t do their basic job. I think there’s no doubt that there’s a move toward more traditional lifestyles occurring in the country.
I don’t think anyone wants to see women be degraded and suppressed in our culture as they once were, but a return to timeless family roles and models is healthy, in my opinion.
Any guy who gets his wife a vacuum cleaner for Christmas is freakin crazy. wow. I was amazed, and if I can say so, a little turned on. It would be nice, it would be a treat to have a wife who is a female and not a 'partner'. aye, but those days are gone. I think this is why so many men marry foreign women.

*sigh* where is Randolph Scott when you need him?
To the moon Alice.
POW
To the moon I tell ya.
Many cultures outside the United States still have men and women in more traditional roles. I know that in India, women, while valued and respected, still feel it is their role to care for their husband and to take care of the home for him, because he is the one who has to go out and earn and provide for the family. Sure, some of these ads are a little overt in being insensitive, or even a little cruel, but I’d bet that at least some of these were meant to be published in men’s magazines, so it’s not properly fair to call them out. Remember too that since women back then stayed home, they did a lot more gossiping with the other women in their neighborhood, and surely said as bad if not worse things about the men (and a lot more personal too).
Goldie Hawn??
Maybe it's more "sexy" than sexist.
There are even more sexist adds today.
Its not that the white male is depicted as the worthless dope, while Mom is the single handed savior.
Actually, after viewing all the ads what’s changed?
Take away the word “wife” and most of this has come true.
Liberals have taken away any vestige of protection or specialness from womanhood.
These ads aren’t conservative, but a liberal man’s fantasy (I use the term man loosely only to differentiate genetically).
Now they’ve got the best of both worlds - a slavishly devoted sex toy without any of the responsibility or overhead of a wife and family.
The ads are as immature as feminists and metrosexuals.
I haven’t been able to find my favorite—the old Mobil Oil add that had several women sitting together, one with a large bust, with the caption “We’re the sister with the added dimension” or something like that.
We've learned nothing if all we do is change only the target of our hatred and contempt.
