"These 17 Ads From The Past Will Probably Disgust You. Unless You Really Hate Women."

[BainsBane]

44. No, I won't admit it

but I can't swear to it. I have seen plenty of threads to that effect in the men's group and you never disagreed. You never said, hey, that's not true. Additionally, You've said plenty else that shows way more than a failure to comprehend gradations. In fact, you approvingly post an article calling radical feminism a "hate movement." Given you regularly identity me and the rest of HOF as radical feminists that means you consider us part of that hate movement. The problem is you don't have the most basic understanding of any of the ideas discussed in HOF. I know you don't care. You never have before. What's unusual is that you spend so much time reading and worrying about views you don't care about. I guess the point is to find a scapegoat to make yourself feel better about whatever makes you feel compelled to lash out at people who have the audacity to argue for equal rights for women.

The point stands. You are in no position to pass judgment on my so-called misunderstanding of gradations. So you won't defend this mid century advertising images but you will defend rape porn and twist and distort arguments by those who raise objections to it. I have no idea why that is better than the advertising. At least no one was enslaved or hurt during ad campaigns. I'm guessing if they weren't labeled as mid-century and were live action, you'd be all in favor of them. I recall a fair bit of angst about a HOF post expressing concern about a car ad with women locked in the trunk. Why anyone would think that was better than these mid-century ads escapes me. Nothing embodies misogyny more than violence against women, and that it is used for profit hardly makes it better.
