Apparently men are ‘confused’. According to countless international studies and professor types, males’ primal tendencies have been beaten into submission by political correctness and mixed media messages. Basically, men are pussy-whipped and don’t know how to act around women. This confusion has manifested itself in men doing stupid shit, i.e. waxing their chests, attending yoga classes, wearing pastels and listening to Coldplay. In short, a total nightmare.
It wasn’t always like this. As these vintage commercials show, things were much easier back in the day. If you liked a lady, you let her know, simply as that. And we’re not talking about anything subtle here either. Leering at cleavage, stalking someone in a car, or just going for an all fashioned grope was all par for the course. It’s probably how your parents met.
After all, beneath all that feminist bullshit, spirited women really are just looking for some dude in a slick car to ‘tame them’. They just don’t know it yet. Also, they can’t drive. Obviously.
