I think this is brilliant in showing how the patriarchy sends messages to both women and men as to what their respective roles and places are via advertising.

I do not find anything about it to be hilarious. Even switching "roles" makes it look like a parody which further insults women. It is a sad commentary on the plight of women in the world. Im thinking women should be outraged not chuckling.

I also think if women find this amusing, it is a testament to how we internalize the sexism that is thrown at us everyday.
