theamazingphenoiger asked: I like how a man is trying to decide whether women should have the right to abort . I am sure that if he had been the unfortunate victim of rape and was carrying the resulting child he would be thinking differently.

Oh, the HEADPHONES won't fall out!
I found this today. I’m not sure if anyone has sent it in. It was listed on this page: http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/30-freakiest-ads-2011-136965
It’s the second ad on that page. #29.

always-within-never asked: To the anon - while I understand how someone could view this site as just "complaining" and not active, I think what this site does is so important. The reason sexist ads are so pervasive is because people don't notice them anymore! We're asleep to the objectification of women because it's all around us. Sites like this wake us up to what's happening and force us to...

Anonymous asked: re; last anon: I for one have certainly withdrawn my services from various products when they've used sexist advertising. Or at least stopped paying for them.
Anonymous asked: Not meaning to be offensive, but I never understood why you chose to try combat sexist advertising by complaining. In any other case, protesting like this would at least help, but for ads it's all about what makes the most money, and fanservice is most definitely profitable. People will very rarely choose to stop buying a product because they hate the ads, and the marketing guys know that. In...
This super sexist swedish ad is so horrible. The ad is for website where you can rent video games. The text says “Dear Åsa, I promise to never, ever, ever buy a video game again. Your Tiger” and below it says “Finally a promise that’s easy to keep. Never buy video games, just rent them.” This is so stupid I don’t even know where to begin. Apparently no women...

Anonymous asked: I only found out just recently that Go Daddy was a web hosting service. I had seen countless commercials and I always thought it was a porn site. Sure surprised me.

latinobynameonly-deactivated201 asked: Can I ask you guys what you think of these Truvia commercials?I just saw one recently reusing the footage while applying the melody of a Christmas song but I rather "enjoy" these ones better. There are a few of these and while these are less overt I still find this whole "All women have an uncontrollable sweet tooth" thing to just be getting old. I am also getting sick of men...

Anonymous asked: I don't know if you know this (but just in case you don't) the Fotoshop by Adobe is a fake commercial. The source says "the commercial isn't real, neither are society's standards of beauty.")

iamgwenslongroadhome asked: Wow, these anons are really getting hurt feelings over something as decent as adding a requested trigger warning for someone! Thank you for being kind to someone who needed the warning and ignoring the stupidity.
Anonymous asked: Would you mind adding a trigger warning to your response to the anon who doesn't like trigger warnings? Language was a little harsh. Thanks.
Anonymous asked: I can't believe that a website specifically designed to point out sexism in advertising is being bullied by the nonsense "trigger warning" police. Maybe if they don't like being exposed to the harsh reality of media patriarchy they can go follow a blog about unicorns and double rainbows.
Anonymous asked: Would it be possible to put a trigger warning on that Cabwise ad?
