It is to Laugh - not! - What Trump, Vance, Project 2025 and the RIght want Women to return to!

The "younger" crowd may not have seen these, but this is what we and our wives saw then on TV and in Magazines.
These are some sexist ads from the 40s and later that show just how business treated women.

From the vomitous days when men thought it was their right to keep a woman under their thumb. Something rethuglicans aspire to.

As the early movies came out, they were getting more and more risqué. So, that gave rise to censorship which really tightened up life as portrayed in the movies. Lucy and Desi slept in twin beds. She was always expecting, never pregnant.
