This is gonna be a weird share. In highschool, we had a class where we had to identify hurtful stereotypes pushed by advertisers and we used this ad. Part of the activity was to modify the ad in a way to "fix" it. Since we had no photoshop skills, we added mustaches to the women and changed some text like removing "babe-magnet" and erased "WO" so it's just "MEN". It was pretty dumb but we thought it was pretty funny.
