A feminist remake of 1950s sexist ads (Page 2)

[MajesticTwelve]

Garbage.
This is art? I hope she chokes on a ham sandwich.

[Nadim171]

Why so serious?

[MajesticTwelve]

I hate feminism and their ideology. It should be purged from this planet. On top of that, to take something, and recreate it, only change the gender of people involved, then call yourself an artist, is a joke.

[Nadim171]

He had actors doing the stuff, edited the pics, brought the same outfits and furniture. It is art regardless. And hating feminism means you want to be a Locked in the kitchen and denied the right to work or even vote

[MajesticTwelve]

Getting actors, editing pics, buying outfits and furniture, that's not art, that's commerce.
Art is creating or capturing something. They've done none of that. They've simply copied someone elses work and made a few changes to fit their politics. That's politics not art. At best it's plagiarism.
Not being a feminist, by the way, doesn't mean I'll be locked in a kitchen or denied any rights. We as women have equal rights under law, and in fact have more freedom than most men simply because of our gender. Feminism is about being superior to men. Nothing more, and I refuse to accept that.

[Nadim171]

Your right to vote was given to you by feminists. Without feminsim you would still have no rights to vote or pretty much anything else. Some feminsits are radicals but it's not a concept of feminsim

[MajesticTwelve]

A) I don't care if I can vote or not. I literally do not care. Take it from me tomorrow, I don't care.
B) Maybe do some real research about what life was like for women pre-feminism. It was busy, and hard work, but not the massive train of abuse people claim it was. Not even close. Stop buying in to the political agenda of feminism. Study it, and study the opposite sides. Find your own information, then make your mind up about it. Feminism is a societal cancer.

[GigiMary]

@Nadim171 Our right to vote was not given to us by feminists. It was given to us by an all-male congress and supportive President.

Besides, if feminists supported women's rights in any way that wasn't entirely superficial and simply a ploy for political gain they would support my right to own a firearm to protect myself. Gun rights are women's rights.

[Nadim171]

I support gun rights. I don't belive in gun control but I I beleive there should be a small test before giving someone a firearm. Making sure he is mentally stable and can handle a gun before giving any crazy ass alcoholic a gun.

[HereIbe]

Has your man given you permission to post here or otherwise speak in public? If not, shut up, get into the kitchen, and don't come out unless it's to go to the bedroom with him or clean his den.

[Iwillfindyou21]

What about the artist who did the non-feminist ones? Tho misogynic ones?

[HereIbe]

@Iwillfindyou21, you're a little stupid, aren't you? The "originals" were ADVERTISEMENTS from DECADES ago, not art.

[Nadim171]

@HereIbe it became more clear everyday that you're the only idiot here

[HereIbe]

@Nadim171, we get it little BOY, you want women to dominate you. You've even posted on this site to that effect. You are offended at even equality.

[Iwillfindyou21]

@HereIbe Okay so the only reason why I am stupid is because I called it "art" instead of "ads" or "commercials"? The creators of it deserve as little respect as the creators of the feminist version

[HereIbe]

@Iwillfindyou21, do you think they ever got respect? They are dead and forgotten. They were nobodies, they lived as nobodies, they died nobodies.

[Iwillfindyou21]

@HereIbe No, I just responded to the answer by saying that the creators of the misogynic version should "choke on ham sandwiches" too.

[HereIbe]

@Iwillfindyou21, they're all already dead, I'd say.

[GreciaJackson]

I feel the difference even knowing that both are wrong, I can see why the artist did this but the whole idea is sexist either way

[MsShyasf]

It’s weird how the women in the old adds is serving her husband like she’s a maid/servant.

The gender roles swapped still doesn’t make me happy either because if I were in a relationship with a man I wouldn’t treat him like shit.

[hellionthesagereborn]

How where women treated like shit? Do you want to do manual labor for fifty hours a week and then give every dime you have to some one else? Because that was the mans role (as well as to physically protect his wife and family even if it costed him his life). Their is a reason women where happier in the fifties then they are now by such a large margin.

[janna_jcb]

It shows how ridiculous it is to put either gender above the other. I think it is a great initiative.

[Thomas_Shelby]

I’m actually really surprised at these early depictions of women, but does stooping down to their level really make a point or even right? I mean I find the guy being “used” by the woman as humorous, but the man standing on the women’s head as kinda cruel and dehumanizing

[Nobody-gives-a-finch]

Both ends of the argument are invalid.
Frankly, I'm surprised the immaturity of the 50's are reflected by modern feminists. I had hoped that they would know better than some stupid ad-makers.
Sexism? A social construct, and a poor one at that.
Bitterness and resentment? Far less justified.

[smølf]

Those adds are sexist for sure, reversing them doesn't make it any better or less offensive.

It server no purpose, those who genuinely sexist won't change their minds based on feminist propaganda poster and those of us who are not, won't become more sympathetic to your cause by radical propaganda.

Sure it said to illustrate the obvious, but since it obvious and hardly anyone agrees with them any more then what's the point?

[Chuck21]

This shows the total lack of respect for each other as humans bout man and woman insulting each other with stupid childish behavior.
One acts stupid, so the other fallows it's path. We can't get right from knowing what is wrong. I see this in every day life. color V color woman V man. Man V animal. If we took time to value each other instead of degrading each other maybe we can start helping and healing and appreciating life and this world. That's just my take.

[Loving_Husband]

Theses are great! Perfect for my female led marriage!

[sophie2002]

It's interesting to see the reversal but none is correct. These ads shouldn't exist at all to start with.

[lernulo]

I would like to know, how much did they sell with those posters... It was supposed to be their objective.

About the initiative, yes its disgusting, as it's supposed to be.

Problem with that is that it isn't impressive at all, I think I have seen so many things as this, that it has lost their power to impress.

[Mrwonder]

It’s like they want revenge on someone who already died. Those ads are pretty old and we’ve moved on from those times. I get that just because they are old don’t make them right, but it’s like someone victimizing him/her self without ever being wronged.

[Daniel3035]

This isn't really the point though. I would have expected everyone to move on not do exactly what happened to them this is basically women reversing the role. Isn't the point to move forward with equality not turn it on the other. I mean should black people now enslave white people?

[HereIbe]

Cute joke, but poorly executed. The man in the remakes should have looked as conventionally "male" as the men in the original ads. Otherwise, it just looks like s photo shoot for a sissification fetish site.

[WhiteSteve]

My mother was ahead of the curve back in her modeling days in the 1950s lmfao. She was a BOSS😂

[Nadim171]

That's awesome😂

[Xyline789]

These are definitely ads used in a different time and culture. Many women wouldn't have even seen them as sexist at that time and some of them still aren't. Remaking them doesn't do anything other than create new sexist ads toward men that don't seem to make sense. There are other examples of sexist attitudes toward men in the past, like, for example, men being expendable compared to women which actually still remains.

[loganstew]

Tbh the vacuum one wasn't that bad. During the times that was just good target marketing. I hated the other ones but woman were the only ones typically using vacuums and tbh if they got a Hoover vacuum they probably would have been pretty appreciative considering how much time those things saved back then

[UnicornLobotomy]

LOL, he's doing this satire to strike a nerve in his fellow Muslim brethren. A creative and funny way to showcase and mock modern Western civilization. It's a warning. You probably can't understand it in that way, "it's a parallel dimension".

[Janncis]

@Nadim171 why you dont put woman in man gender roles, putting one gender above other is not equality, and you now enforce toxic feminity. Why you just switch gender roles you like, but not ones you dont like?
I mean, whats wrong with you?

[Nadim171]

How am I putting one gender above the other? What makes you think so? Build your accusations on evidence

[UnicornLobotomy]

You aren't fourteen, and even if you were old enough to drink with friends, who the hell calls you "Nadim"? You're quite a contradiction on multiple levels.

[Janncis]

@Nadim171 should i wisit all your takes and give you a list? Or would you look at this take? Sexism is wrong but somehow you have no objection doing it to man.
Yes in past there wassexism against woman, but it doesn't give you rights to dig up 70year old posters to now attack man. I can give you a lot examples where americans fucked up at past, i dont use themto talk about now.

Also to talk about sexism at past you should know about rest of that period and culture then. About halfof posters are totally ok, if you look at them with a knowlage from that time. Like with a girl and dishes, at that time there was no dishwashing machine, and most of chores was done by woman. So washing fluid could be advertised as that.

[UnicornLobotomy]

He might actually be from Lebanon he should go to Jumu'ah and discuss this after service or something like that.

[Nadim171]

I am 14, if you don't want to beleive me idc. And I do drink with my family sometimes. Everyone calls me Nadim... you're quite confusing

[FeministDestroyer]

Can't go anywhere without seeing toxic femininity these days. Yet the world isn't ready for that conversation

[sejla]

It's kind of icky to me. Either way it's offensive.
