KFC apologises for 'sexist' ad that makes a joke about women (accidentally) sexually harassing young boys. Because it's sexist against women.

its not sexual harassment if it is an accident. That is not how harassment works. The reason they 'apologized' is because of the 'sexist stereotype' of men objectifying women. It's stupid because it's not a stereotype, when a girl adjust her boobs right in a boys face he is going to like it 90% of the time.

Oh how harmful and toxic, 2 boys at the beginnings of puberty looking at the secondary sexual characteristics of a women who is bringing an unusual amount of attention to those characteristics in public.

So we have three categories of women with different viewpoints coming into play here; one category sees the use of sex as a means of power over males, another sees the use of sex as degrading and of course mothers who do not want their young sons exposed to sex. Rather than acknowledge that their opposition is other women the two young sons are used appropriately as "whipping boys". If the two boys are given a pass because of their age then the blame will fall on grown men who "taught" them these ways.

In a short statement issued on Tuesday, KFC said: “We apologise if anyone was offended by our latest commercial. Our intention was not to stereotype women and young boys in a negative light.”
The Collective Shout spokeswoman Melinda Liszewski said the ad was a regression to tired and archaic stereotypes where young women were sexually objectified for male pleasure; and males were helplessly transfixed when confronted with the opportunity to ogle a woman’s body.
“Ads like this reinforce the false idea that we can’t expect better from boys. It is another manifestation of the ‘boys will be boys’ trope, hampering our ability to challenge sexist ideas which contribute to harmful behaviour towards women and girls,” Liszewski said.
“The research is solid: attitudes shape behaviour. A growing number of reports show how reinforcing of gender stereotypes – including in advertising – contributes to a lesser view of women, resulting in their mistreatment.”
KFC has not confirmed if it will stop using the ad.

So at the root of it all, young women are the innocent victims of men and in this case, boys.

Why is male sexuality bad? If any of you anti sex conservative/feminist types want to explain it to me not using mysticism such as SIN and SEXAUL OBJECTIFCATION go on ahead.

A growing number of clueless idiots don't understand that stereotypes are mostly true. They're outraged when women dress like sluts, and awkward situations result.

Oh please. It wasn't even that bad.

Fuck them. The problem here is the sexualization of boys too young to give a shit about some ho's tits. Portray them as sexually interested, and you make it easier for women who prey on them to claim they "wanted it."

what's the girls name yo?

SMTTT84 · 2020-01-22T14:30:04+00:00

The ad didn't seem like sexual harassment at all, she obviously didn't know the children were in the car.

Sorry, OP, but I think you're misrepresenting the ad.
