Disgusted at this advertisement on a bus (photo included)

No, no no - women can't wear what they want, don't be silly. Any choices we do make we haven't made ourselves, the men have brainwashed us into thinking we like what we do!
Disclaimer not my view, just the batshit point of view I've seen on here before

Or heaven forbid if a woman wants to wear what she wants...

You have to be on the wind up surely! 🤣🤣🤣

It looks odd and very dated. The second thing that strikes me though is how enormous the feet are in comparison to the legs or is that just the camera angle?! Or maybe it’s a man so it’s not sexist at all and is actually quite progressive!

No, I save my disgust for those who think the sight of a woman's knees is somehow shameful.

Exactly, I'd save my disgust for the state of the country at the moment.

You dont need to go far to see people dressing or behaving without modesty or class. This poster is nothing to get worked up over.

i think you have too much time on your hands

Exactly, I mean it's a pair of legs - I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't that 😁
Maybe our little lady legs should be covered away like they were in the Victorian times.

What a stupid post 😂😂

This poster is really quite tacky and tasteless. I now think this poster us on the border of the sexual exploitation of women, has become greatly
normalised and mainstream.
It is almost expected but it is done in a more subtle way

Think cheap thrills.

No modesty or class

Started in the Sixties with letting it all hang out.

I bet the person who thought uo this up the poster was a man.

Agree, but I wouldn't get too worked up about it- you see far more sexualised things on the streets than you did when this sort of ad was popular, I get more upset about outfits that leave nothing to the imagination and hooker shoes in real life.

When was the last time you used a bus? There are buttons that you press which sound a bell and light up a sign that says 'bus stopping'. Press one of these just before your stop and that tells the driver someone wants to get off. These have existed since my childhood and probably long before. I'm in my 40s.

It’s patronising and apart from anything else most of the people on the bus will be in trainers or flats.

I agree but there was a huge wave of rebellion against using images of women, their bodies or parts of bodies in adverts back in the day. It was supposed to be sexist and inappropriate…like car adverts with a stocking clad girl draped on the bonnet. The point being, using a man would not occur to advertisers. Womens’ legs in nylons and heels etc as a selling point. All part of the equality movement. Not seen as ‘workwear’ back then.

I honestly wouldn’t have even noticed.

Really not something I would even think of giving a shiny shit about.

Yeah it looks dated.. and dare I say it, like a man has produced this advert. I see very few people dressed like this on a bus.

How do you tell the driver you want to get off? Last time I used a bus you had to walk down the aisle and hang around at the front until the bus stop appeared

It’s designed to be an eye catching poster. The legs are bait to make people read the words. YABU. It isn’t a saucy message and the picture itself isn’t inappropriate. It’s just a pair of legs.

It might be to attract a man

It might be because they like the look

It might be to attract a woman ...

And what shop is that?

An aesthetics clinic by any chance?

That's like complaining a sports shop shows people doing sports 🤣

‘Selling’ what exactly? I don’t think that’s the point of the poster. Nevertheless, it’s retro and it looks like a woman who is in control of herself which is always great - maybe not what the poster wants to say.

Absolutely some girls wear clothes like that to attract boys. Women and girls are just not allowed to admit it.

So it's only me who says to my 17yr old DD "you're not going out in that surely, you've barely got anything on?"
So it's just me and everyone else is fine with a mini skirt and boobs hanging out top, very comfortable I'm sure, and nothing at all to do with catching the eye of a boy?

Nothing wrong with it! It's making a point on safety. Nothing to do with objectifying anyone. Office workers ,Beauticians,Estate Agents etc Often wear dressy stilettos for work. Youngsters wear them on a night out. Some men wear them too. There's no issue, except that as others have said it does look like a old fashioned poster.
