Sexist vintage ads

(Thanks again to tOP.) These ads are just brutal. How times change.

A pair of trousers (or pants, if you are American) for the price of a pair of socks at today's prices! Wow, eh?

One of the ads in the link has the headline "Danger, women's suffrage would double the irresponsible vote"

Hmmm, if men and women are split about 50/50 in the population, and only men vote, but giving women the right to vote doubles the "irresponsible vote", then the "irresponsible vote" was that of the men in the first place. Thus, the votes of men and women are "the irresponsible vote."
Men and women, equal at last.
