These blatant displays of sexism simply reinforce some of the attitudes that keep women from achieving equal treatment in pay and career opportunities," Lynn Osborne, chair of the Association for Women in Communications, said.

I wish these women who pretend to represent us would just stop spouting this nonsense and get a life.

A beer ad for football games in which two women looked ridiculous by behaving like guys? It's funny.

What I saw was two attractive, opinionated, and physically fit women who went overboard defending their views. As far as the boobs showing?...so what. Many an infant has been exposed to them since birth. It wasn't about guys pawing them.

Agreed. Studies have shown that after adjusting for time in the workforce, woman make 97% or 98% of what men do, and that's statistically the same pay. Women aren't kept "from achieving equal treatment in pay and career opportunities" - unless they're idiot feminazis that can't get along with normal people.

Freepers are failing in their responsibility. How could a tread like this exist without pictures? `:^D)

"Many an infant has been exposed to them since birth. "

Sweetie, only a pedaphile would be attracted to those, HOWEVER as a mother, raising a duaghter I find this OFFENSIVE. I don't want my daughter growing up thinking this is acceptable. And since it is on prime time kids have access to it. It demeans women. As for boobs showing, trulty comparing the undeveloped breasts of an infant to an adult is as insulting as your outlook on women. Apples to oranges doesn't go far enough ... . Males are VISUAL whereas females are not. Highlighting boobs or whatever stumulate males. That's also another difference between normal males being aroused by women and not infant girls. As for the rest of the "feministic" agenda - it's on MERIT not looks. I don't normally side with them but in this situation I do find this belittling frolic demeaning and insulting.
