Moral Marketing In The Age Of Trump in MediaDailyNews on 01/09/2017

Today, it's easy to be uncharitable to earlier progressive ads (most of them just swapped one type of pandering for another -- "you're a good little feminist, aren't you!" -- but back then they actually did some good, and in a mostly unintended way: they put single, working women onscreen and in print again and again, and over time normalized the sight. Happy divorced women. Happy childless women. Happy women with white collar jobs.
