Male Bashing Nine West Store Display

Christina S. writes, "On a recent trip to a local shopping mall in Louisiana, I noticed a disturbing 5' tall sign prominently displayed in the Nine West store window. The advertisement shows a woman in an extremely short, snake scale patterned, red leather dress wearing shiny black, knee-high boots. The woman is stepping on the bare chest of a prone man with one boot." Click Read More to see more of Christina's comments and contact info for Nine West. There is no text on the advertisement. This ad seems to promote the image of female superiority. Because of her extremely suggestive clothing and his bare chest, the photo turns the man into a dominated sex object. I'm very disappointed in Nine West and have sent them an email to let them know that I find that sort of advertising unacceptable. If men and women were secure in their equality, perhaps the photo might be humorous. As things stand, I feel these sort of images send a negative message, that women are stronger or more important than men, not equal.
