wow, this might be the most sexist, but real, advertisement I've seen. (Thanks Maurice!)


I'm posting this to illustrate the historic cultural norm in America, maybe lots of other places too, which used women as the punchline of so many car collision jokes, it would soon switch from women to Asians, and similarly the late 60s early 70s had a majority of jokes that focused on Polish people, and typified them as stupid.

I don't know where all that started, I'm no comedian, or comedy historian, maybe someone else knows where all that came from.

No doubt the human nature aspect of psychology is clearly that ego pushes up to find someone to bully, pick on, feel superior to, and that would explain racism, sexism, bullying, etc.

Lets face it, people suck. Most of them. Seems times may change, but very little about people's behavior does, and there you have the problems the media focuses on with Hollywood's sexist, and racist (anti-asian actor or white actor savior) still being prevalent 100 years after we invented powered airplanes, 50 years after getting into space, etc etc. We have rovers on Mars, but Hollywood hasn't evolved past the casting couch mentality.

So, history huh...? Even car history.
