Hold up: Let me check the calendar.
Wow, it’s like a quarter to 2010. The feminist movement has been working on getting people (women and men alike) to regard women as more than just sex objects and domestic appliances for what? 40 years?
How does anyone — anyone — with a functioning brain cell post something like this without having that little moment of reflection centering on the thought “maybe this will alienate everyone but the fratboys”?
What’s next, mainstream climate activists? Blackface? (Don’t answer that.)
Well, I suppose somebody had to model their activism on PETA’s.
sigh
I’m so tired of being treated as a marketing gimmick.
Um. I still can’t get past the way the “3” in the number is presented, especially if you tilt your head 90 degrees to the left.
I can’t laugh with this ad, but I can sure laugh at it.
To be fair, women’s rights activism in the US can be traced back to the abolitionist movement before the Civil War, so uh, we’ve been trying to not be treated like sub-humans for well over 150 years! That makes 40 years look like nothing!
Supermodels are fine and dandy—Please, somebody feed them once in a while!—and maybe they’ll distract the beer-guzzling troglodytes long enough to keep them from surfing to another channel during the commercial, but seriously… It sells two things only: (the Sierra Club’s) sexism and the Sierra Club’s shameful ignorance.
Maybe Sierra Club could sponsor a “Hottest Environmental Attorneys” calendar and open it up to men and women.
