Men are constantly belittled and portrayed as total morans all in an attempt to get women to buy a product. Not only is this a gross double standard and pretty horrid treatment of blokes, it's also perpetuting a culture in which men speak about men with disdain and people think it's funny.<br /><br />Not funny.<br /><br />Great post xLouisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739118490318763551.post-59203970206427200392011-04-05T12:52:16.277+08:002011-04-05T12:52:16.277+08:00Eugh.

It annoys me when women complain about sexist ads about women, but then are happy to accept ads that make me look stupid, insensitive, emotionally crippled or posed as eye candy. Surely if it isn't right to treat women that way, it isn't right to treat me that way either.<br /><br />I saw an ad only recently that really annoyed me because of this issue. I'm off to find it now. I'll tweet you the link so that we can be annoyed together. :-)Susan Whelanhttp://twitter.com/ReadUpsideDownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739118490318763551.post-62550075395505550732011-04-05T10:59:49.259+08:002011-04-05T10:59:49.259+08:00Great point!

Do they really think that they can appeal to us by making fun of our husbands, fathers, brother, sons and friends?!

I'm all for women's rights but when a men's clinic is closed due to complaints of sexism, yet women's clinics are opened that just isn't fair in my book. It's the same with gyms.<br /><br />I'm for equal rights for all people regardless of gender, race, age, sexual preference or 'attractiveness'. Advertisements like this does not promote equality nor do what I mentioned above. If anything it makes women look stereotypically bitchy.Tutu Ameshttp://twitter.com/TutuAmesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739118490318763551.post-37733888909314893992011-04-05T09:05:19.612+08:002011-04-05T09:05:19.612+08:00Oh i love this post.
