Full gender equality might still not be where it needs to be, but we've certainly come a long way over the past half a century. Travel back just 50 or-so-years-ago, and the world was not an easy place to be a woman. Where assisting men to become great achievers was their highest accolade, women didn't have much hope for being taken seriously. With companies insulting and belittling women as marketing strategies to sell their products, it was indeed a man's world.

These vintage ads give us an idea of just how little empowerment, rights, or power women had back in the day. Check out the horrors below.

The holiday season is going to be a little different this year. So why not shake it up even more with a bit of risqué snarky greeting card action? Because if there's ever a time to tell your annoying relatives and friends what you really think of them, it's now. Take advantage of the sh*t show that is 2020, and unleash your inner frustrations by sending some of these rude, offensive, and hilarious greeting cards from Bluntcard.

We've shown you the Brokini (aka, bikinis for bros), and we've shown you the weird and wonderful world of men's catwalk fashion. And by that, we mean the hideously flamboyant. And now, we're back with another bizarre addition to men's fashion that you'll want to ensure you keep away from your boyfriends and husbands. Introducing the latest in Fashion Fail of the Week, denim speedos. And yes, they're as awful as they sound. As if the Brokini wasn't enough to ruin your summer. You can buy a pair for your man here if you're so inclined. And you hate him.

We've bought you one collection of rude cross stitches that your grandma will find offensive, and this new haul is no better. They might be even more disrespectful than the first. Available on Etsy by OhWowStitch, these cross stitches with snarky sentiments sewed onto them definitely aren't the Bible quote cross stitches you'll find hanging on Grandma's wall. Warning: don't scroll down if you're easily offended.

What happened to the good old days, when shoes were purely a functional item of clothing that stopped the ground from cutting up your feet? Nowadays, it's all about who can come up with the weirdest, most innovative, and original shoe designs, even if they aren't practical. We've bought you fish sandals before, and now we bring you the horror that is double-faced cowboy boots. Because why have two shoes when you can have four, right? Honestly, fashion is out of control these days, but scroll down to see this latest fashion fail, designed by Shayne Oliver.

Whatsup fashionistas? I've got another fashion catastrophe for you, which you might want to look at through your fingers because, as usual, it's not pretty. Previously, we've shown you the sandal socks disaster (whats up, dads?) and leggings with graphic pictures of your insides etched onto them. And now, we bring you the chicken feet socks, which are as ugly as they sound. Because who doesn't want to look like they have chicken legs instead of human legs? Not me, but clearly, some people do. I know, I know, they're meant to be a novelty gift gag, but they are just so... ugly! Scroll down and be horrified! 

If you love spending a lot of money on handbags and love eating Ramen Noodles, then this is the bag made for you. But if you're like the rest of us and have some taste (not for Ramen), then you should probably stay far far away from it. This painfully offensive bag will set you back over $400 and is available on Etsy. It might look good enough to eat, but in my humble opinion, Ramen Noodles should stay away from fashion and remain at the back of the kitchen cupboard, ready for your next hangover. Enjoy scrolling through these pictures of our fashion fail of the week. 

For some reason, we take joy in finding the most offensive fashion fails on the internet and sharing them with you. It's like we're saying OK, we couldn't make it as fashion designers, and neither could these people, but they went for it anyway. The latest crime against the fashion world is these sandal socks, which you can find on Amazon. Everyone knows that one of the cardinal sins against fashion is to wear socks with sandals. And all men who wear them have a special place in hell waiting just for them. So why make socks with sandals built-in? Who knows. But here they are, in all their glory. 

Summer may be coming to a close, but would it blow your mind if I told you that the lack of international travel wasn't the worst thing that came out of it? Hard to believe, I know, but wait until you see the Brokini. The what, I hear you ask? The Brokini, aka, the bikini for bros. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's a thing. Don't believe me? Scroll down and see the latest fashion fail of the week for yourself. And yes, it's as bad as it sounds.

Fashion shows are for designers to showcase their upcoming designs, which then influence, and determine what will be "in" for the forthcoming season. The looks seen on the catwalk inspire designs found in high street brands, which will be sold en-mass to the general public. But sometimes, catwalk looks can be so striking, outlandish, and downright bizarre that you might confuse them with something you'd wear on Halloween. Like these designs below, for example, which I can't imagine anyone wearing off the catwalk. We love bringing you weekly fashion fails, and these certainly takes the cake. What are your thoughts?

If there's one thing we love, it's taking the p*ss out of crimes against fashion. Previously, we've bought you the leggings designed to look like muscles, just in case you needed reminding of what your legs look like on the inside. We've also shown you the sandals that look like you're wearing dead fish on your feet, the reason for their creation I can't even begin to fathom. And now, we bring you the Facekini. Yes, that's right; there is swimwear designed for your face. Originally surfacing in China in 2012, this offensive fashion faux-pas was intended to protect swimmer's faces from the sun, algae and jellyfish stings. Practical? Yes. Highly offensive? Also yes. Scroll through and check out just how bad they look!

Did you ever have a guest over for dinner who you hated? Or did you ever serve someone some food you wish you'd poisoned? Well, now you don't have to hold back on what you want to say to your least favorite dinner guests, because Etsy is full of plates that have all the rude messages you need to be written on them. Just wait for your guests to finish their food, and then they'll know what you really think of them. Enjoy these offensively dark, dinner plates. 

We're back with another offensive fashion choice. No, it's not fish sandals, this time it's muscle leggings. Yes, that's right, someone thought it would be a great idea to make it look like all the skin had fallen off your legs. I am speechless at how bad these are, but I want to share them with you anyway because, well... why not. Here you go! 

Each time we come across a fashion crime, we share it with you; not because we want to promote the atrocities, but because they're too good to keep to ourselves. We've brought you croc handbags, and men's lace summer shorts, and now we're bringing you fish sandals. If there was ever anything to NOT wear on your feet, it would be these. Scroll through if you're brave enough, and look at this offensive fashion feet fail. 

Dating in 2020 isn't easy. Between the endless Tinder swipes and empty hookups, it's a wonder anyone finds love nowadays. But I refuse to believe that it's impossible and I firmly hold onto the idea that true romance is still achievable. But has love always been this hard to find? It would seem so... a magazine article titled '129 Ways to Get a Husband' was discovered in a 1958 edition of American magazine McCall's. These ⁠— quite frankly ⁠— sexist and offensive tips are hilarious to look through now and see how women were encouraged to find love back in the day. I've decided to go through one tip and a time and see whether or not it would actually work in 2020. Let's take a look at tip #9...

When you think of children's books, you probably picture fairytales filled with innocence and joy. Which they usually are; unless they're part of illustrator Arthur C. Gackley's Bad Little Children's Books collection. Filled with covers of satirical, sinister parodies of innocent kids' books from the mid 20th century, they are politically incorrect, offensive, and oh-so-frickin-funny. Scroll through and unleash the inner bad child inside of you.
