Ladies, and I speak to you as a woman, don't be angry if this year under the tree is a toaster from your husband. It's not completely his fault. Oh wait...ummm...yes it is! However if it were 1957 he should have been given a partial pass. What was a poor guy to do? He hadn't been taught to buy things for women that didn't have to do with the bedroom or kitchen. Those were the options and advertisers simply reinforced the stereotype.
Example A: Toastmaster ad from the 1957 Better Homes & Gardens Christmas Ideas magazine.

So guys, this is a warning. Do not, I repeat DO NOT put a thong inside the toaster box and think you're going to get a jolly Christmas. Just a warning as you head out shopping.
