Well, that's true as these ads were targeting men and projecting how happy their wives would be with such gifts.

But take that last picture; "How to win a lady's heart for keeps." The article likes mocking that, right? That 1949 housewife likely had to previously drag that blue carpet outside, beat it mercilessly ( while avoiding face-fulls of dust) and bring it back inside.

The same website has a more realistic perspective of many of those ads here; even suggesting many of those appliances were actually liberating.

I thought Kansas was the most boring state to drive through -- and then I drove through Nebraska.

Shhh... Don't let the secret out about low-pop areas. Keep feeding them the idea that more population is good. *nudgenudgewinkwink*

I realize this is probably news to you, but men shoppers get called "honey", "sweetie" and possibly even "lovey" (though I haven't experienced the latter, myself). Take it as a compliment, or live in perpetual outrage. The choice is yours.

P.S. There's no indication if the complainer is male or female.

If Newsweek reported it instead of dropping it, I'd bet everything would have played out in a similar fashion. It's fallacious for her (and websites) to accuse DrudgeReport of "bullying" for a story any news agency could have done. And there certainly wasn't any social media like today's.

There are times I cycle my WiFi so much it should be considered an exercise.
