Sexism: the belief or attitude that one sex is inherently superior to, more competent than, or more valuable that the other. It could include discrimination in regards to gender and primarily involves hatred of, or prejudice towards either the sex as a whole, or stereotypes in relation to men or women.

This add portrays the evolution of men compared to women. It can be inferred by the men's progression that they are smarter, stronger, and better than women; they are successful while women are stereotyped to stay home and clean. Their role does not change throughout life here; as the man grows and evolves, the woman continues to clean "since the dawn of time." This image implies that women have always been under neath men on the social status and that cleaning or serving have been their only jobs in life. Unfortunately, this is very similar if not the stereotype for women. Thanks to many significant women throughout history, we have been able to prove this stereotype wrong though.
