I know there's an actual term for it, but I forget what.
Anyway, I've been trying to work out something, anything we can do about the fact that we are bombarded with women being used as sex objects in adverts (OR as "mum" characters, who only care about cleaning/cooking/rolling their eyes at their husbands)
I thought of making up stickers saying things like "somebodies daughter", but then I thought that infantalises the woman and doesn't really help.
FGS, there are adverts on phoneboxes (actually printed on, not cards inside - they have been paid for and officially sanctioned) for lap dancing bars with a pile of naked women.
I presume some of you have done something like this, or at least know of people who have - what is most effective?
I'm already in the habit of turning round all magazines that have sexually explicit covers in newsagents. tbh, not sure what good that does though.
