"Love Hearts" slogan decoration

There is currently a trend for "vintage chic" home decor, with old-fashioned looking posters and other decorations becoming more and more popular. However, many of them are of a style that apparently epitomises vintage living, but actually glorifies the idea of "women's work" and shows women as being second rate, far more than is socially acceptable today:

"Laundry service" sign, eBay

"Sarcasm" apron, B&M

"Better rich" lap tray, B&M

"Definition of a girl" hanging sign, notonthehighstreet.com


Whilst these objects might be intended to be funny or "just a joke", many of them feature very sexist slogans.
