Photographer Reverses Gender Roles In Sexist Vintage Ads

Robert I totally agree. I have see tons of these old and sexist ads and NONE would talk disparangingly of the company they are about...maybe the women in them...but NEVER about the company itself.

NOT FAKE!!! Hardee's ran this ad campaign in the past couple of years, including mocking the 1950's ads, using blatant sexual innuendo etc.

So because one MALE ARTIST used a fake ad, now all womens' experiences and the concept of feminism are suspect? Please try to be rational, that is utterly ridiculous misogyny way beyond any reasonable interpretation of this art project.

These ads have to be done as satire so as not to be accused as copyright infringement. But a lot of the rhetoric behind the ad was real at the time.

Here's a piece from 2015 with CKE's CEO (parent company of Carl's Jr/Hardee's) bragging about the deliberately controversial bikini ads: https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/246487 They've changed tack now, going more racist than sexist. One of their latest commercial compares their value meal to whatever the meat, bean and cheese randomizer "Guillermo'ed" into a box. The target market is young, middle class, white men. There's no depth they won't sink to persueing that money. Not that there's any connection, of course, but their CEO is one of Trump's goof buddies.

Actually my female friends would quite invite products designed to share this info before buying them and not being able to open them in the middle of cooking. :D

I'm guessing ol' John here is what we call a "super virgin."

But... I'm weak and I can't open those damn jars ;( But I can loosen them so my boyfriend can open them lol

First of all, you don't have a sense of humor. You're just an a*****e. Secondly, you can't even spell properly.

I see that - and even in the others, he doesn’t take the shrinking, submissive posture the women did

The juxtaposition illustrates how it’s bad

Obviously BOTH are wrong. But the POINT is that ONLY the picture on the left was an ACTUAL REAL AUTHENTIC advertisement used to sell products to people. While the one on the right is merely a satire showing how wrong & ridiculous & sexist the advertisements back then WERE!

wow Daniel, hit you a little hard, didn't it? imagine how women feel.

wow Daniel. hit you a little hard? Imagine how women *feel* and have felt over things like this that are still as prevalent as they are?

Or, a pig.

May i point out that the a lot of female big cats raise their young by herself, catches food, and feeds them until they are grown, while the father just goes missing. Also, the female lionesses catch the food for the family. Also, a cow is technically a she, the male cow is a bull, which is ornery and aggressive. So if we’re going to get realistic about critters acting the same as humans in terms of gender, you might want to avoid this. ( I should point out i’m not saying men are irresponsible and rude, just trying to respond accurately according to animals )

Sure they can! Way to perpetuate sexism.

Um... Actually technically they could...

So many men obsessed with their money... You know, now we earn them ourselves. Sure, we earn less, but still men aren't gods with cash anymore. And if you marry an empty doll because big tits, then don't complain later. You were after her looks, she was after your money. Equally low and selfish reasons.

The women that wear heels do it because the men that run fashion tell them to. I'm glad more women are saying no to the insanity of heels.

I happen to LIKE my high heels! Not all of us women find them to be sexist.

These are your personal opinions, not fact. And most women that wear tight clothes do it because that's what fashion and society deem as attractive and feminine.
