50's sexism

shows and advertisement from the 50's showing a woman ridding a tractor attempting to sell the tractor, and displays a few instances of sexism, Now with the inclusion of the text "Look what happened to the old grey mare" which  represents an old woman and the display of the tractor seems to be some sort of improvement by buying tractor. the fact that driving a tractor was meant for men of that time period, and honestly I cannot say I know any woman getting on tractors and apparently enjoying it.
