Gender Equality Thread - The One - 01-23-2018

We don't have a thread for this and this is good a time as any to start one.

And I found a pretty appropriate topic too. Have you guys seen this?

I'm not very active in FB and missed this but apparently this was the talk of the town sometime ago. I wonder if this was just plain ignorance or they just don't give a shit.

Well that board does have a point, it's no shape for a woman, or for a man for that mater..

Well that's my point. Why 'woman', could have said its no shape for a Sri Lankan?

TO: you’ve just been trolled Smile

I know, but there's no other way to respond to JB unless you pretend he's not trolling.

That made a huge ruckus.

Feminists were triggered.

There are 2 facets to this
1)Body Shaming women
2)Obesity is a genuine concern

Let the arguments begin

Yeah. And among both men and women.

The company who put up the hoarding explained it was the first of many ads they will put up in their campaign against obesity.

I have a question.

Would it have made such a big deal if the board said

"This is no shape for a man"

?
