What he said.
I can not believe I'm addressing this in my first ever post but...... I'm a little sick and tired of naked/near naked women being used to sell everything from tooth paste to beer to well everything. When women and especially young women are subjected to these images day after day it reinforces an underlying societal belief that a woman's worth is based on how conventionally sexually attractive she is. Add that to the input of the media, fashion and cosmetic surgery industries and its no wonder eating disorder, low self esteem and self harm rates in women are through the roof (and before someone says it, yes these rates are on the rise for blokes too, but no where near as high as for women).
If you'd be happy with this cartoon (or any of the other images posted in this thread) depicting your daughters, wives, female mates or mothers......then I'd be shocked.
And 'feminist clap trap' really??? Haven't seen that in print for years. All feminism means is equality between men and women. Nothing to be frightened about lads. I'm a proud feminist and manage to combine that with a sense of humour, being straight and on occations heals.
Finally. Don't you feel insulted as men that an ad agency thinks you're so stupid and narrowly focused that you'll buy anything as long as its advertised with a massive pair of t***??? Personally I get really angry that the media think men are that dumb. Here endith the first sermon. Hope my next post can be about technical issues and advise from this amazing source of info.
