At first I thought that this vintage Honda ad was aimed at women who wanted to do lots of “things.” And then I realized, no, despite the fact that all the women look alike, the ad is actually aimed at men who get to have “things,” like “Michelle and Tammy and Alison.”
Selected text:
But what would you rather have? Automatic transmission, air conditioning, and a 400-horse-power engine?
Or Michelle and Tammy and Alison?
More examples of women being conflated with things here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.
