2. The sadest part
is that a lot of those ads wouldn't be banned today - in fact, with a few minor changes, most of the sexist ads still do run today. Women are still reduced to body parts and violence against women is still subtly (and not so subtly) condoned in print ads.

6. Beware- some of these may be photoshopped. Many are authentic but I've seen similar examples before

and a few were exposed as recent photoshops "in the vein of".

The one where Lysol is advertised as a douche freaks me out.

8. I remember the Love's Baby Soft ad in my copies of Seventeen.
I even tried to copy her hairstyle with little success.

14. Lots of those here:
www.mum.org the Museum of Menstruation.

My mother actually did have a bottle of Lysol in the bathroom cabinet. That was before they knew about good bugs, i.e. normal vaginal flora, and bad ones.
