I just think it's a little tiresome for Spath etc to be telling other people how they should fee about something. For the record I couldn't care less either way very much, but I can see what is being propagated here and for some it's more unpalatable than it is for me, and it's not okay for those people to be called hysterical, ridiculous, etc etc etc.

I wonder of other individuals on a whole take the same approach Naomi but then after this complain jumped on the offended band wagon trying to justify how it's offensive.

Like a normal person, i don't walk down the street trying to identify how women are suppressed. Find what ya look for ennit. I would have never found offence in this display and still can't.

[spathiphyllum]

Who have i told how to feel, Kval?

[kvalidir]

Your choice of wording has sought to ridicule those who object to this, THAT's how.

kvalidir, //I can see what is being propagated here//

What you imagine you see is definitely not what I see. That wouldn't have occurred to me.

[spathiphyllum]

Fair.

I just think there are more important things than the M&S christmas campaign and to find it sexist is just.... YAWN.

Spath I never said all women - typical man put words in to womens mouths!

If you don't care spath then why are you posting?

[Rockrose]

//Like a normal person, i don't walk down the street trying to identify how women are suppressed//
Ahh but your new friend Naomi does every women in a burka apparently!

[Sqad]

woofy.....spath is posting to tell you that he doesn't care, which is a relevant statement.

"and it's not okay for those people to be called hysterical, ridiculous"

But it's fine for me to be spoken about personally (my work) to be called out of this world (earth to spath, implying i'm lost) and to be constantly told i don't like woman, which is literally the opposite. I just think that sometimes people paint them to be pathetic offended people who are desperate for equality when in the real world, people are living with equality daily. People find what they look for, if you want to be offended then you will but don't be a pleb and force that onto ur entire gender.

[naomi24]

Rockrose, that's a bit spiteful ... don't you think?

[kvalidir]

Of course there are more important things Spath, but we are talking about THIS, you are talking about in particularly because feminism is one of your pet peeves, but it still sends out the message to little girls that men are these big sharp powerful creatures and they're place is in silly frippery.

"Ahh but your new friend Naomi does every women in a burka apparently"

Moot to the point! I'm here to argue for the sake of it, i'm simply trying to show you how taking offence to this, is actually in my personal opinion, wrong. and i don't need me entire gender to back me up. It's my sole opinion and not because of my gender.

Thinking like that is surely anti equaity???

[spathiphyllum]

Not here * (eye roll)

^^^^ LOL....LOL...

emmie

First may I apologise for duplicating your thread, which I missed in ChatterBank.

/// Its about the inequality of the slogans, one depicting women in scanties, whilst men get away with a nice looking man in open shirt.
different slogans, different meanings. ///

It would seem that it is the "vomit-inducing" slogans that are upsetting some women.

Why I just cannot understand, 'Must have Outfits to Impress' well it is a well known fact that there is a difference in these according to whether you are male or female.

In regard to men they have a much lesser selection, could be a nice designer top and good jeans or a nice business suit, or for those very special occasions bow tie and dinner suit, not so choosy regarding their underwear.

Whereas women, where does one start? They go in for a much wider choice of dresses, make-up, shoes, handbags and regarding underwear well there's a very wide selection. It may not necessary be to impress the opposite sex, but for some strange reason, they say it is for their own satisfaction.

[Sqad]

That refers to Kvali's post.

"but it still sends out the message to little girls that men are these big sharp powerful creatures and they're place is in silly frippery."

No, i don't think it does at all to be honest.

[spathiphyllum]

"they say it is for their own satisfaction."


AOG what a point.
