  1. 1. Is this advert sexist?

Good word that! Not sure you're allowed to use it on SF though - I got a 3 day ban for using an obscured version of it with a 4 and two stars**.

I should remove it if I were you: lest you get clobbered.

 

What context did you use the word? You wasn't using it to describe someone, as opposed to describing the rear of someone's anatomy?

Well no. I was only pointing out the bit that they could have been referring to by the way, not offering an opinion on the ad. I don't think they were objecting to just the picture of an arse but the words that went with it as well.

 

Just to be clear, I didn't assume that you shared the opinion of the MPs, my response was an open question to anyone who does hold that opinion.

 

The poster states that bums are good for squeezing. If a woman said she liked having her bum squeezed (without any other qualifiers in the sentence and actually meaning her partner carrying out the act) and a random stranger came over and squeezed her bum, then the MPs said she had encouraged it, the MPs would be victim blaming.

 

Stating that bums are good for squeezing is not a green light for strangers to go and do it to random people without consent, just like a car advert isn't a green light for strangers to just go and drive anyone else's car without consent. People who overreact to such posters can have an opposite effect to how they intend, on how the public view such matters.

If i remember correctly Ron used it in the same context as Jim Royle, ie "my 4**e".

If you can think of any other words of four letters that start with an A and end with an E that could be substituted you are better at countdown than me.

Anyway, back on topic, can anyone tell me how they can definitively recognise this as a female and not a male?

 

It could be either couldnt it?

 

Maybe thats why the male mp spoke out?!

 

Its strikingly similar to the Asda advert as someone pointed out isnt it.

Nowt wrong with the poster, shows part of a pair of jeans, could be male or female - who knows. Maybe our Parasites that inhabit Westminster should find better things to complain about. As for the muslim issue over the poster/advert, I'm keeping my powder dry.

That's exactly what I got a ban for... seriously, take it off :hihi:

 

Actually, come to think of it I'm "offended" by your term and I'm thinking of being a sad little loser and reporting you... :suspect:

what about the women in the smarties ad with the Chippendales blokes, nobody gives a ;;;;.to many do-gooders who need to get on with there own lives instead of scoring political points.

 

Actually, I put a complaint in about that advert encouraging obesity and trivialising the issue of poor diet.
