A reminder that the past is a beautiful and also very problematic place.
I was just paging in a couple to see the table of contents, and there's a long series of these sexist card reader ads. Pregnant. Shopping. Angry. Every '60s stereotype of women, they do it!
Also the guys in this magazine are the squarest, whitest, WASPiest, Army birth control glasses wearin' motherfuckers you've ever seen.
Whew. Don't take me back that far. I'm a hippie to these assholes.
