In reply to the discussion: Silvio Berlusconi With A Trunk Full Of Tied-Up Women: Worst Ford Ad Ever? [View all]Summer Hathaway
(2,770 posts)there is no need to wait until a man actually says anything. They KNOW what all men think, what they do, how they react.
There is also no need for any man to state that he finds the ad in the OP NOT at all "cutsey (sic) and funny," because if he does, that contingent of women will accuse him of lying about his true feelings, while "pretending" to be concerned.
For some women, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't, because they've already determined that all men are sexists who enjoy seeing women demeaned at every opportunity.
Note that I said "some" women. I, unlike some women here, believe qualifiers like "some", "a few", "a handful", "a certain amount of" is important. Not all women are alike; not all men are alike - a concept that seems beyond the ken of "some women" here.
