How the Military Waged a Graphic-Design War on Venereal Disease

What strikes me as the most interesting here is how a good number of the posters demonize women and imply that they are disproportionately responsible for the spread of VD

Women did not serve in combat roles during World War 2. There was about ten times as many men in the military than women at that time.

The church has been doing it to women for a couple of thousand of years. The church is still visible in most of our political and social life (Catholic or Protestant doesn't matter, just like Pepsi or Coca) as the church is just materialization of all our primitive fears and impulses which we so far have failed to overcome - basically a tool of organized collective projection.

If you don't realize it, at the bottom is a slide show of the posters. Don't miss scrolling through them.
