These Controversial Vintage Ads Show How Women Were Viewed Before the Millennium

Even though relationships look slightly different today, there is no denying that once upon a time, men expected their wives to do absolutely everything for them. From the clothes they wore to the food they ate, their wives were responsible for making sure their days ran smoothly. Talk about high expectations…

It is so crazy to think that an advertisement like this ever went out for printing… The fact that some women would read this and think, “wow, what a great idea” instead of “how dare you?” is wild. Just the written words alone are enough to make us want to get up in an uproar and write an angry letter to Bird’s Eye, however many years later.
