Interesting ad on thinkprogress this morning.

It's just the typical pandering to women's ego. It's like the slogan "because you're worth it" to sell them shampoo.

Pretty much most advertising treats women as if they are narcissists. This advert tells women they are the subject of a huge conspiracy to put them down but that Think Progress is on their side. So it's using the feminist sex war and "the patriarchy" myths for financial gain.

Apparently this stuff tests well on women.

I can't imagine it testing well on men. In fact sometimes advertising aimed at men is aimed at their altruism, telling them that they will be able to better defend women and children. Either that or hot women will like you if you drink Mountain Dew and use our razor.

I think they meant that they'll hold the media accountable when they don't respect women. You know, because "fuck bitches, get money" is the motto of 100% of media outlets everywhere.

What, exactly, does this have to do with men? Fuck's sake, it's not about attacking women, it's about making our voice heard about ourselves!

Downvote me all you fucking want, but this sort of post is ridiculous.
