This 1952 Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce ad for housewives is just another depressing piece of evidence that we were born fifty years too late.

If we had a nickel for every time a lady friend of ours had surprised us with a Cheese Club Sandwich we still wouldn’t know whose face is on the nickel.

One Response So Far...

    Makes me nostalgic in a number of ways. Then food choices were less driven by paranoia over too much salt and fat, or neurosis over being fat and calorie content.

    That was time when men got more respect in the media. Today, if a man and woman are shown together in a commercial, the end is so predictable; 99% of the time the man will be shown to be dumber, be made the target of a spalpstick gag, get hit, slapped and demeaned by the woman, and the woman will be a disrespectful smart ass who always has the last word. So many companies use this in their ads, it gets me mad to see it. I also get mad at the women in this country, for I feel these ads exist because they reflect women’s attitudes. 40 years of feminism have only taught women to be bigoted against men, to have a superiority complex, and to speak of and ridicule men in a way that would not be acceptable if directed against other groups.
