New suit for women company objectifies men in advertisements.

I don't think this is a big deal. Obviously "if the sexes were reversed" blah blah but I mean, really who cares.

Glad to see this brought up for the principle of it but I don't think seeing naked, attractive, sexualized people in ads is a problem on any level.

The only reason I actually care is because I know women would freak out if the genders were reversed.

Lol,

half naked women = sexist and objectifying women.

Totally naked man. Totally ok.

I'm completely fine with this ad. It's the hypocrites that call themselves feminist that that cry foul for one but not the other that upsets me. If they truly had no power as they claim I wouldn't care. However, feminism is extremely strong politically and has done more to destroy equality between the sexist than balance it.

Obviously there would be an outcry if the genders were reversed.

One could complain to the ASA:

Obviously when they did the reverse it was sexism, but this is empowering women.

Something something male gaze only women are objectified in advertisements something something.

That's because women objectifying men is totally okay, but men doing it to women is rape culture

Looks like things have come full circle.

hivemind_disruptor · 2017-09-14T13:34:29+00:00

I'm okay with that.

Cool suits

There is nothing inherently wrong with sexual imagery focused on a particular group (gender or race). Of course, if the genders were reversed, feminist cunts would be hysterically freaking out and crying out patriarchy. I have to accept that those suits look very classy (as was that guy's butt).

I don't think objectification of any kind is dehumanizing. Whenever I see women(IRL) complaining about objectification, it seems to be due to an inferiority complex about their appearance. Women, by being a protected class in society, feel entitled to default respect and expect to be considered beautiful. But sexual advertisements add an element of 'competition' in their lives and they don't like it.

It's only objectification when men do it.

Lazy ad, interesting suits, the ass on that man!

Honestly don't care if they want to do this shit to sell suits, it's how luxury goods have been sold for decades. Sure it would be sexist to reverse the genders, but I don't care about that either.
