Offensive and Sexist Vintage Ads

1 / 7

Wow, no matter how many we've seen, or how the years pass, these ads never get old. How could they? Not when they espouse such true and tried, stand-the-test-of-time messages like your husband will lock your doubtful, inhibited, ignorant self out if you don't wash your privates with Lysol. Timeless!

Right, Roaring? That Babysoft ad is completely atrocious. I don't know what the company was thinking when they released that one.

I sometimes read some of the older magazines (40's-80's) I find at antique shows. It is rather interesting to see how we have progressed as a society. But those ads...I just had to shake my head. Yeah, I totally agree on the Love's ad. Mega creepy!!

People need to relax - these are hilarious!! Well, maybe not the Love's add...that's just creepy.

I actually looked at this website this morning- haha The is it always illegal to kill a woman one is a RIOT to me! How could people have thought that would make people buy a stamp meter is beyond me!

Disturbing! that girl in the love's baby soft commercial is 13 at most. And what awful symbolism with the man stepping on a woman's head!
