Women Worth Less, and You Can Take That to the Bank

To make a point about how women make less money than men in the work force, Swedish firm Miljopartiet de grona ran a print ad that compares currency featuring men to lower-value currency featuring women. The tagline: “Different gender, different worth.”

Commercial Archive observes the idea’s been done before; moreover, income disparity is slightly more complicated than some male-chauvinist exec going “Hey, a girl, I’m gonna SAVE.”

On a casual YouTube quest to find gender-disparaging videos, I found this clip about penis power. Please watch it. It will make your whole day. (Yes yes, SFW, but plug your headphones in.)
