'Does the bicycle make women cruel?' — American cartoon published in the Los Angeles Herald newspaper (13 June, 1897) showing a woman callously cycling over another. Image
The cartoon illustrated an article about an alleged 'new mania which is afflicting women who ride bicycles', with the author reporting on cases of the mania developing in France.


Image
Image
Image
Image
'The physicians found that the first known case of the mania developed last January … That it was cycling that brought the mania on there seems no question. Only wheelwomen have been afflicted with it, and oddly enough, in every instance, they have been over 30 years of age'. Image

'They Can't Lick Our Dick' — American button produced for Richard Nixon's presidential campaigns in the 1960s and 70s.
The slogan emerged in the early 1960s, unofficially at first though it seems to have been distributed officially by the Nixon campaign on at least one occasion (see quote in next tweet).
'Another humanizing tactic was the great prominence given Nixon's nickname, "Dick," on campaign items, although some uniquely tasteless varieties of buttons that read "They Can't Lick Our Dick" — at least one of them given out by the campaign itself'

A variant from 1925-6 advertises a Goebbels speech. Image
Another calling for the ban to be repealed:

'Who is Adolf Hitler? The man of the People for the People! The German front soldier, who risked his life in 48 battles for Germany! What does Adolf Hitler want? Freedom and bread for every honest working German! [continued below] Image
