Entry #7 Two Wrongs Always Makes it Right, Write back

     

         Having been a young child in the 60's, I distinctly remember television commercials during after school programs, like this one for Xerox.

If anyone doesn't find this Xerox commercial offensive enough to the female gender, Check out this tire commercial from about the same time.

It's amazing how the television perception of the female gender was so biased 50 years ago.

The really sad part is that's the way women were perceived back then, even outside the world of TV. Even sadder is the fact that except for a few women at that time like Gloria Steinem  most women were willing to accept their role in life in America as second class citizens. 

         Fortunately, as a society we no longer belittle people simply on the base of gender.View this commercial as an example of how indiscriminate we have become. 

         This (stupid dad) Verizon commercial was removed after much pressure from a men's rights group named His Side

 led by Glenn Sacks.

                                                           

          It's nice to see how far our society has progressed in the past 50 years. American men and women have finally become able to put gender aside and treat each other as equals. Makes me wonder where we will be in 2055?  .....Cane Man
