At any rate, no, in this rare case I am not kidding. The brochures and
ads from the 1960s and 1970s were amazingly mysoginistic. If the editors
of FHM were alive back then, they'd be doing computer industry ads.

That's
tame compared to some of the marketing literature and
advertisements I've seen from the 1960s and 1970s. The basic message
could have been interpreted as, "this gorgeous woman loves this computer,
and so by extension she will love you too if you buy it", or, "woman make
good computer ornaments".
You're kidding! That isn't true?
