pelican,

Do you think the Calvin Klein billboard depicts gang rape? Do you think it is 'violent'?

Do you have concerns about sending men to work aroused?

Do you think the adverts depict women as 'subservient sexual *slaves*'?

Let me ask you if you think there is a line to be drawn in sexually overt advertising and where should that line be drawn. I know not all will agree where the line sits but we have IMO gone too far the other way where sexually overt public billboards are on display for all to see - children included.

You might think MTR is a bit OTT at times but she makes valid points and her view counterbalances the other end of the spectrum - the anything goes for a buck end.

If you read the Collective Shout website Melinda linked to there are men who are also sick of being treated like sexual fools in advertising - it is not just a female issue. It looks like Woolworths has withdrawn its support - see consumer power does work, we just don't use it enough.

I agree with Pelican that the Calvin Klein advertisment was too sexual to be in a public area.

However, MTR sees a picture of a woman and a few men with sexually suggestive body-language and instantly assumes that it depicts pack-rape. The mesh and the imbalance in numbers don't provide enough evidence to support that assumption. It is this same distrustful attitude towards male sexuality that MTR often seems to display.

One needs a really over active imagination to think that the picture of one woman and 3 males clothed depicts gang rape.

I know of more than a few women who love to be in that female models position.

Maybe it is someones fantasy?

The picture could equally represent female power at attracting a number of males.

The over use of words like rape, objectification, harassement etc will mean that like the boy who cried wolf too many times. People will begin to ignore those words.

Gentlemen & Ladies, i will pose some questions for you.

1, Does anybody remember those "scared straight" campaign's on TV? Where troubled teens are taken into jails and told scary stories about life in jail to straighten them out, get them back on the right track to a better life.

2, Don't Lesbian & Bisexual Loony, Left, Faux"Man"istas, have a vested interest in scaring straight women & girls "Queer" with "Big, Bad, Barstard" stories?

3, Hasn't the incidence of all sexual abnormalities/extremes, like Gay, Lesbian, Tranny, Frigid, Nymphomaniac, etc, lifestyle been increasing ever since the sexual revolution of the 1960's?

4, Are these emotional extremes, not all "symptoms" of serious mental illness, usually caused by serious, abuse as children?

5, "Lies, Damn Lies, Statistics & Surveys" Doesn't the women's infolink stuff differ radically from the science, every time an unbiased man or conservative woman, looks at the real information about all "Gender Issues"?

6, Wouldn't cutting all funding for women's issues, provide a lot of money for public transport?

7, Given that the entire Radical, Extreme, Loony, Left, Fe"Man"Nazi, Paedophile Movement has been publicly demonising men for 50 years now, shouldn't we be protecting children from these devil worshipping communist's?

8, Isn't everything MTR has been complaining about been caused by Faux"Man"istas from the "Frankfurt school" in the first place?

Oh & hears the proof, well documented, easily verified.

One woman who was taking hormonal treatment for IVF, said whilst she was taking the hormones, she was absolutely convinced, that she was always right and the rest of the world was wrong and stark raving mad.
