Misogyny in advertising is nothing new. Sex (as in sexy women, of course) is used to sell everything from shampoo to vodka. But if you watch many commercials, you may have noticed that men aren't exactly presented in the best light, either. Let my beloved Sarah Haskins explain it to you:
Can I tell you that I think the creepiest husband is the one in that Enterprise commercial? When the wife asks "red or black" in reference to her lingerie, he says "both." And he does it with the most disturbing eyebrow raise. I shudder just to think of it.
