2014 Nissan Rouge Commercial - Feminist Fantasy? (With a flick of her hair, this white-collar woman can do anything she wants, neither traffic nor reality will get in her way)

I cannot see how this is offensive. If you want to see an offensive nissan advert

I still will not buy a nissan because of all the offensive nissan adverts in the 1990's against men.

From about 1996 to 1999, the Nissan Micra car 'Ask before you borrow it' range of ads: one featured a guy driving such a car, then switch to a woman throwing his belongings out of a window, one-by-one, switch to him arriving back, looking in disbelief, cue the voiceover "The new Nissan Micra; ask before you borrow it". Another one was worse, it featured a man flying through a closed window, landing in a swimming pool below, before a woman appearing at the window, having supposedly just thrown him through the window, cue the Godawful phrase again. The third one I remember (and they don't get any better), was in an A & E department os a hospital, showing a man with cuts over his face, then a man with a saucepan implaed on his head walks in and sits next to him, then switch to outside, a car pulls up - driven by a woman, for a change - and a man is thrown out the car, clearly having suffered some sort of abuse, and cue the phrase "The new Nissan Micra; ask before you borrow it"; well, IF YOU'RE A MAN, AND IT BELONGS TO A WOMAN, ASK BEFORE YOU BORROW IT, BECAUSE VIOLENCE FROM A WOMAN TO A MAN IS ACCEPTABLE, UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, OF COURSE.

Enh, it's pretty weaksauce. Mildly amused by the turnaround of the traditional "nagging woman" trope though.
