Or society is, anyway.
I remember a few months back, someone posted up a link to some 60s ads which showed women being the stereotypical housewife, obedient to their husbands and family, and the general outrage many Yahoo users expressed.
Now, I've found a link to some similar 60s ads, but the message is ... slightly different.

And let me just say - I'm not a feminist. But I couldn't help noticing the parodies these ads make of the originals.
Your thoughts?
