Vintage Ads is currently conducting a sexist ad contest. In amongst the usual
typing pool indignities and
women driver jokes and
housewife and beer scenarios, was posted this literally sexist ad. I'd like to know what the thinking was behind that math—"would double the irresponsible vote." Progress Publishing, indeed. The
19th Amendment didn't pass until eight years later.

I love how the instructions for the voter are *really* explicit, like the typical "no" voter will be barely intelligent enough to fill out the ballot. "Be sure to put your cross in the box after the word 'No'"
