Some light child abuse and sexism.

From Better Homes and Gardens, 1968...

For just $1.50, you can have this humorous melee weapon mounted on the wall in your child's bedroom, to remind them that you're a great parent for beating them where it doesn't leave a mark that the police might otherwise notice.

According to this ad, no man ever prepared his own meal until well after 1968. As you may recall from the many investigative journalism pieces over the years, gender stereotypes were common at the time, all the way to government's top level: the Raisin Advisory Board.
