For what it’s worth, #TOS was made in the 1960s. The women’s liberation movement didn’t really seem to take off until the 1970s.

You’ll find more than a few sexist relics in almost any medium of the era, as the challenge to sexism had yet to find her voice.

Bingo. “Your” cow goes to slaughter.

And yes, this is to acknowledge the other subthread here that this advertisement supports a notion of nonhuman animals as property, thus is not at all animal rights friendly. I leave to others whether a #vegan can support this—I certainly wouldn’t.
