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

For such a long time, it was commonplace for men to be the breadwinners of the family. And whilst that might sound like an amazing deal, to not have to work for a living, the expectations placed on women to keep a home, look after the children and be a full-time chef were more demanding than a day job.

This ad makes it seem like not only do women have no understanding of big concepts, but the only way they know how to show love is through cooking. Here’s a wild idea, this person’s husband could explain to his wife what this job entails instead of acting like a chauvinistic man who just expects dessert.
