There were definitely posters that showed men and women working side by side in the manufacturing plants. But there wasn't a character with the iconic impact of Rosie the Riveter to symbolize the male workers. There was, however, a humorous character called Benny the Bungler, who was used to tell American servicemen what NOT to do. "Don't be Benny" was the slogan.
