The magazines are almost worse now because it's like not only CAN you do it all but not you MUST or you will have zero self respect and be a social pariah!!!!! <br /><br />Also, I want that mixer ad to put up in my kitchen.

I SO AGREE. Especially about the Christ...Good post! I SO AGREE. Especially about the Christmas cards...how do people send them out so fast? You not only have to have a card idea in mind, but also a great picture (or a few). Too much pressure! <br /><br />ALSO, I think it's interesting...I was looking through this article yesterday that showed a bunch of vintage ads that were sexist and/or racist...like "this mixer does everything but cook the food...that's what wives are for!" And it was so ridiculous/funny because they were actual ads...but aren't magazines sort of still the same?! Maybe not as blatantly sexist...maybe not sexist at all...but it seems the expectation is that women do it and have it all...a job, a family, lots of money, a great house, parties, friends, and all with lots of style. It's still as unrealistic and unfair as saying a woman belongs in the kitchen...actually, it's just adding more pressure to that.
