Am I overracting? Boots adverts

[Wryel]

This latest one really ***** me off. The constant man bashing, making men out to be pathetic and stupid. The latest one even says 'for when he's ill and you don't have time to be'. It seems to have enhanced the whole 'man-flu' thing which basically makes it socially unacceptable for men to be ill!

Of course there are adverts for men that could be considered sexist but I don't think any of them attack women so blatently. Lynx is probably one of the main offenders but 'The Lynx effect' is meant to be more of a fantasy, rather than implying that women are so easily controlled that a deodorant can make their pants fall off in the supermarket.

So, I'm complaining!

Am I right or are 'my emotions getting the better of me'?

I hope this is a joke or you seriously need to get a life.

I bet you're one of these people with no job who stay at home all day watching TV with a pen a paper ready to write down anything that offends your little mind so you can fill in a complaint form and make yourself feel important.

I am. Thank you for giving me something else to complain about.

I see your point Wyrel but us men get paid back in spades. How many beautiful, sexy half-naked chicks are used to advertise unrelated products?

I agree but that was my point. I know products are sold using half naked women, but there are half naked men selling aftershave too. Not as many but there are quite a few. However, there are no companies selling their entire brand on the basis that women are useless and disorganised.

Society at large is what you find offensive.

Agreed.

Now I can go back to looking after my sick girlfriend.......
