The new virgin advert? Stuck in the past?

I think thats slightly over the top

I do get where you're coming from though, it goes on alot in adverts, music videos or lyrics, but the thing is alot of young girls these days dont care infact they go along with it.
Perhaps thats what angers you even more???

And there you have it on the point of advertising - sell your product as a pathway to achieving a stereotypical fantasy (when of course it won't). Sadly both advertising and the corporate boardroom are dominated by white male graduates- that's why you get **** adverts all round - lack of diversity.

This ad is hilarious! I think it's ironically sexist in that it's making fun of the stewardess/pilot stereotypes. It's a clever advert. I think "I might have to change my ticket".

What about the gum disease mouthwash advert with a naked woman in a field?

If you don't buy this mouthwash you won't be able to run naked through hayfields? .. Bull :/

Except it's the portrayal of women that bothers me, it's an extension of porn degrading women. Everything in our culture is based around the disempowerment of women, hence why this advert isn't even a silly joke and ridiculous satire as to what was; so much as a piss take as to what is.

Well, as you might gather from my signature! ...It doesn't make sense for women to be discriminated against because of their number, but they are because no one speaks out.

No. Why is everything ******* sexist these days?

And I still fail to see how what is basically 60 seconds of women showing power over men is sexist against women.

How is it not sexist? Anything which objectifies/stereotypes either gender is sexist. This advert does both. Anyone who thinks that feminism is 'reactionary' in modern society is severely misguided - the role of women needs considering more than ever.

Women should not be empowered by the standards of men (i.e. sexual attraction). They should be empowered by virtue of being people, who deserve respect as much as anyone else. If men are not empowered by their attractiveness, why should women be?

You should make this comment on the f- word's blog about it.

Too many women mistake empowerment for lippie, high heels. This darn word is added to everything when it's clear it's exactly about how male culture will allow us to be 'empowered'
