One of them, unsurprisingly, is via Carl's Jr.—the Western X-tra Bacon Thickburger. The point is shoved home via a fake Mystique morphing into a beefy dude before she takes a bite.
It's a co-op ad promoting X-Men: Days of Future Past in which the not-Mystique has to "man-up" to fit the thing into her dainty little blue mouth. Why not just use Wolverine? Well, he wouldn't fit into Carl's/Hardees (same company) long-running "Slutburger" campaign. Blue tits do.

The Carl's/Hardees CEO Andy Puzder is an Obamacare-hating Republican it should be noted.
The second new burger females can't eat is KFC's Mighty Burger. This ad, via Australia, is subtler in its exclusion of women. It features men having silent moments, which aren't awkward, because chromosomes.
"Sorry girls: did that freak you out?"
So much nonverbal communication—I'll give all you "girls" a moment to recover from your freakouts. Here, KFC scores a daily sexism double by also insinuating that men are fucking idiots. The Mighty—"it's only two words."
