Misogynistic Trump Quotes Look Right At Home Paired With Vintage Sexist Ads

Misogynistic Trump Quotes Look Right At Home Paired With Vintage Sexist Ads
15 March 2017, Wednesday

An artist has paired some of Trump's greatest hits (in the field of misogyny) with advertising from the era he apparently wants to revive.


Making America Misogynistic Again is a series of images that pair vintage sexist advertising with some of Donald Trump's most regrettable quotes. (The level of regret on Trump's part is debatable, but much of the world likely regrets knowing these exist.) While the ads of 2017 may still be sexist, in ways that are subtle but insidious, the pre-Mad Men era ads were flagrant offenders. Women were kitchen wenches, bedroom vixens, and mega-mommies, ever reverent of their men. It should come as no shock that Donald Trump, whose campaign's whole backwards-facing ideology yearned for the past, fits right in among the ads of this time.

 

The Syria artist known as Saint Hoax has assembled a collection of ads in which women are depicted as either servile, needing a spanking, or, um, being used as a rug—all with Trump's own words splashed across them. Seeing the conical bras of yesteryear garnished with the 5th-grade level Donaldism, "A person who is very flat-chested is very hard to be a 10."


Let's just hope these pieces end up more as a comment on the past, rather than a preview of the future of advertising. Have a look at more in the slides above.
