Dad is a Mother(f*cker).

(click ad, from 1947, via) Look at pops, happily tying on the apron and doing wimminz work. Helen's sick in bed, you see. So the mister is using the Easy Spindrier—the one he bought with his man money—for the first (and last) time. He's fucking shitfaced, obvs. Heck, later, he might even let Helen strap on a dildo and peg his ass.
Previously in good 'ol retro sexism.
Happy 2011, 'ranter readers.

Talk about mother and gender issues that 1947 copywriter must have had.

OH! and the illustrator forgot the long strand of pearls to compliment the frilly apron.

Why, with Easy on the job even a 'dumb cluck' like me can do a whole week's wash in less than an hour.

cluck
- the characteristic sound made by a hen when brooding or calling its chicks.

henpecked
