Harry Enfield and his chums may have spoofed adverts depicting the women of yesteryear as incompetent and attempting challenges far above their stature....

Seems now that the women are fighting back:

Any other blokes getting the impression it's now a woman's world?


ETA: if anyone knows how to embed youtube vids, let me know.

No... That advert is simply there to make women feel good. We all know it'll be the women doing the bagging, and shaking anyway...
On a side note, dod anyone hear of that woman being mauled by a tiger? I want to know what the fk a tiger was doing in the kitchen?

That is exceptionally sexist.

A man should not be doing womans work.

You can't embed youtube videos on here, only link them thumbup

What a st advert by the way, reminds me of the Diamond car insurance adverts which went something along the lines of "Diamond know women are much better drivers."

Harry Enfield's videos were funny because that was the attitude towards women at the time, this is just a painfully bad advert that will hopefully adversely effect sales.

And somehow the world seemed to work better... now both parents work and we have Broken Britain instead.

Kittens and embroidery - most suitable subjects for young ladies smile

Don't forget horse riding, cooking and baking.

On a domestic level. The horse riding is for the thighs, the cooking is essential for when the husband returns home from work. Obviously.

Sit and watch the ads, and note how many portray blokes as useless, inept, lazy, simple or gormless.

Class action for institutional sexism I say.
