The company that printed this ad must be proud of themselves – sexism written plain and simple into ink! It certainly doesn’t beat around the bush. Drummond’s message is clear: “Men are better than women”. It’s not the most comprehensible ad I’ve ever seen: one of the besweatered gents in the picture seems to be suspending a woman, who has presumably fallen off a cliff due to her own intrinsic stupidity, by a piece of string, but I’m not really sure why. Well at least women are “useful” indoors.
