Does with me.
I thought the women in the Pepsi ad were more dumbfounded than anything else.
He "wins" in the end, making it debatable as to whether he is the victim of sexism.

All adverts by their very nature are sexist unless they're selling a product that appeals to every demographic. The shirtless dude wasn't just there for the laydeez, lots of homosexualists drink Diet Coke too.
Look at the pitiful awkwardness the advertisers face when trying to flog Nivea face moisturiser to blokes. But there is one massive difference which I think affects this debate more than anything else. The ability of feminists to complain to the Advertising Watchdogs whenever anything even resembling a hot, nudey chick appears on the telly.
Because we're blokes and we're cool, we'll let this kind of reverse sexism slide most of the time. I'm more upset that men are portrayed as clueless, feckless, bumbling morons when it comes to domestic matters or even worse, we're not allowed to eat Galaxy chocolate or Malteasers. You might as well take a bar of Galaxy Ripple and get a pregnant woman to piss all over it with her hormone rich urine. (you can keep your feckin Muller yoghurt though)
zooo mentioned the Lynx adverts, but they've been massively toned down from the campaigns of yesteryear - god, I miss the lesbian rape one - but we have nothing like that now. Similarly, the Lynx adverts never showed men treating women cruelly or mocking them, the 'joke' was that Lynx would make you unexpectedly attractive to women, not that you should humiliate and laugh at them.
But I'm always open to counter points, so can anyone name an advert that's showing on telly at the moment that features a hot chick showing lots of skin? (Wonga puppets excluded)
Every shampoo or soap ad seems to show women having loud orgasms in the shower. Who the f**k they're directing them at I do not know.
99% of adverts are pure unadulterated, logic-free shite.
I never ever remember what they were even for afterwards. Even ads I've seen dozens of times.
Pointless.

Presumably people who like washing their hair in the public bogs - ie. the homeless?
They must drink it because their hair looks rubbish.
Not logic free, more twisted logic.
Those Diet coke adverts where all the ladies are dolls, with huge eyes and handbags, creepy do some ladies really want to think of themselves that way.
And mens food ads, have always been sort of fuel for being a barbarian.

The amount of hyper masculinity surrounding products aimed at men is pretty frightening. If we had periods, they'd be none of this blue liquid coyness, it would be gallons of blood and resemble a Saw movie.
'Tampax, because you're bleeding like a stuck pig!'
I've previously mentioned on here how much I hate tampon adverts that show the carefree young woman about to go on a date - that's going to end well, let's hope she takes it up the chuff.
They'd be called Manpax, or more like Manfacts, because men manstrate and those are the man facts.
Grrrrr
Covered in barbed wire because you're not gay.

Yeah! And they'd mention on the box that soldiers take them into battle to stuff up trauma injuries like bullet wounds and shrapnel (true).

At least I got my rifle and 50 'war bullets', so I ain't complaining.

Charming.
The point isn't that men don't get a tough deal in life. They do.
But women have it worse and have had it worse for longer.
We have to fight twice as hard to be taken half as seriously. I have seen lots of female lawyers deliberately masculinise themselves to avoid the bullshit.
I deliberately wear skirts and heels and make up and long hair because I am a woman and I am going to dress how I like. I get a lot of shit.
Highlights from the last week have included: a judge referring to my male opponent as "learned counsel" and me as "young lady". My client saying that he was pissed off when he realised he had a female barrister, only to change his mind when he saw that I am actually quite good at my job.
I didn't used to think that feminism mattered. I thought women basically had equal rights and should stop moaning.
Then I tried to live as a woman in a predominantly male world and realised that whilst we would like to think we are in a Star Trek paradise of equality, that is bullshit.
So I became cross and became a feminist.
