To the outcry from people who think all women who object to the Lynx ads are lesbians or crotchety old maids with vinegar for blood, I answered in this way;
Some comments stated unfairness, harking back to the coke ad, where women in an office were waiting for the hunky window cleaner to arrive outside their window. Apart from the fact that this ad must have been around 20 plus years ago?? I agree, why should there be any sexual exploitation going on at all? Although I must say I think it's more heavily weighted in the female direction as a generalisation.
The old chestnut of, 'you must be a lesbian or an old maid to object to female exploitation', makes me smile...I expect there are any number of lesbians who don't mind a bit of female flesh on view...and old maids, well, what have they got to lose?
Glad they've been banned, a certain percentage of the population will be disappointed, though. I don't want my sons to grow up with the idea that all women are good for is bending over an oven door with her baps out.
As someone who struggled with the pressures of premature sexuality, and think pressures today are far worse, I ended up as a professional and independent woman, with no help from the media.
If men want to look at titillating stuff let them buy a mag or a dvd; why should the entire population have it shoved down their throats? We don't have national pride or religion shoved down our throats, Oh no, this would be seen as offensive!
Maybe it's time we got a few moral values straight around here.Some people don't appear to know what they want. They want to salivate and talk about women in one sense, then we are called insulting names if women oblige vacant and shallow fancies. And then called names if women object! Make your minds up.
