Insanely Weird and Sexist Pants Ad From 1970

This ad already looks pretty bad, but wait 'til you see the text!



"Though she was a tiger lady, our hero didn’t have to fire a shot to floor her. After one look at his Mr. Leggs slacks, she was ready to have him walk all over her. That noble styling sure soothes the savage heart! If you’d like your own doll-to-doll carpeting, hunt up a pair of these he-man Mr. Leggs slacks. Such as our new automatic wash wear blend of 65% “Dacron®” and 35% rayon–incomparably wrinkle-resistant. About $12.95 at plush-carpeted stores."
3 questions spring to mind:
What the heck is a "tiger lady?" Based on the picture I'd assume it's another word for "tranny Barbara Streisand impersonator."

How can you, in good faith, possibly use the modifier "he-man" with the decidedly unmacho noun phrase "Mr. Leggs slacks?"

And what in the name of all that is good and holy is a "plush-carpeted store?"
