I get the joke and I know this is gonna be a buzzkill but - is it expected that from now until the end of the universe there'll be no ad with a man explaining something to a woman/women because of some sexist assholes in the past?
Reminds me of RGB's answer to "When will there be enough women on the Supreme Court?"
Her answer was "When there are nine". We're a long way away from being able to have 9 women on the court without that being some controversial, remarkable thing. We're not nearly as far away from 9 men on the court being uncontroversial and unremarkable.
It won't be until the end of the universe. It'll be until the stereotype stops ringing true. Which we are a very, very long way away from. Be real dude, it is not in the past even a little.
I had the same thought and hesitated before posting this, but the facial expressions on the women really made the image and I couldn't help myself. Especially the woman on the right with blue sleeves.
This really looks like a stock photo for mansplaining that the university just copied.
