Women=Men? Apparently Not

The assumptions we have made based on gender are controlled by society. I was just looking through an article, Politically Incorrect Ads of Yesteryear, and it's shocking to see some of these ads and their inferior view of women! There were ads that bluntly said it was the wife's role to clean, cook, etc, and ads that insinuated how the woman is the weaker gender. Although these are horribly insulting ads, it is at least somewhat reassuring in knowing that advertisement companies could never get away with these ads now. Even though there is still gender inequality today, it is at least making a slow improvement towards equality.
