Audi Perverts

Given how much crap you have to produce to stick on social media it’s no wonder this one slipped through the net.

Totally agree that whoever has looked at the image and seen anything sexually gratifying in it needs to have a serious look at themselves rather then moaning at Audi. I find the whole thing rather F’d up to be honest.

I saw this yesterday and had exactly the same thoughts.
Looks like the complainers are trying too hard to establish a point.

Anyone who thinks that photograph is in any way sexually provocative really should be getting some help themselves. I don't believe I would ever have chosen such an image for an advert and as has already been said it was perhaps a bit naive but the people who complain about this stuff are the real danger. I heard a woman on TV the other night spouting on about the fact that because there wasn't equality in the boardroom it was clear evidence of sexist behaviour by the middle aged men who occupy most boardroom positions. I can assure her it is not in any of the boardrooms I deal with - they choose the best person for the job regardless but there are less women to choose from for a whole multitude of reasons none of which are related to sexist behaviour. Some people just like a bandwagon to express their unhappiness, justified or not.

I read an interesting article about racism from the view of a young black guy and his point was that while some stuff may be funny - he received regular comments about the probable size of his tackle - after a period of time it be comes wearing and is only made due to the colour of his skin. I understand that.

Having said that I was sent a clip of a couple of college students and the black girl in it was insistent (to the point of grabbing the guy when he said he was leaving) that the white guy wasn't allowed to have dreadlocks because he was white. Er, does she stop black women who have their hair straightened and tell them off?

The 'isms about quantity of people in certain roles needs to be looked at in respect of the number of applicants at all levels. 

I think it was Jordan Peterson who pointed out that the fact that there weren't as many women in boardrooms pointed out that women were likely to be more intelligent in many respects as it is a pretty shitty slope to climb with the extra long (oftewn unpaid) hours, extra stress, less holidays, far less family/social time etc etc. Watching him debate any feminist is actually quite amusing - if you haven't watched it, then I suggest you watch the one with on Channel 4 news with Cathy Newman.

The new head of the Bank of England is a middle aged white man.
He was the only male candidate in the final shortlist of 4 people.
2 out of 3 of the people making the decision were female.
Are they sexist?

It's not just that. The data from the scandinavian countries apparantly show that even with all the changes that they have brought in and pushed on the population (and kids especially), on the whole men prefer working with things, are competetive/driven and are prepared to skew the work/life balance towards work for the eventual rewards and women prefer working with people and on the whole aren't prepared to make the same sacrifices.
