I knew it. Male Privilege does exist!!! Check Mate MRA's!

in 1918, there were pretty rigid gender roles for both men and women. Taken in historical context, this is no different than any of these vintage advertisements - funny given our modern perspective, but nothing out the ordinary for their time. I prefer to look at most of these as evidence of how far we've come, rather than trying to apply 2015 social morality to a 100-year-old piece of propaganda.

I found it interesting to see the term "privilege" used for men's obligations as far back as this.
