To have complained about this ad?

To my mind, this ad www.newfashionnews.com/newsitem/1478/Model-Freja-Beha-Erichsen-bares-all-for-Danish-jewellery-brand-Georg-Jensen-2011.html is offensive because it presents a grown woman as a sexually available pre-pubescent child. The Advertising Standards Authority have written to let me know they decided it wasn't offensive. So, AIBU?

I wish I would be as slim. Unfortunately I am not, even though I am 23 as well. I do have small boobs though. Does that mean I could never be a model (even when getting rid of my love handles)? Because with small boobs I look like a child? Thanks.

I shall tell my DP he must be a pervert being together with me if small boobs mean I am not an adult Shock

OP, I kind of understand what you're trying to say and YANBU to complain if that' how you feel. IMO, I just don't like the reference to being 'tomboyish'.

Wow Shock.
I am flat chested, the only time I have had anything resembling boobs has been when bf.
To think I have been presenting my 30-something self as a pre-pubescent child all this time! Maybe I should start to worry about dh's clear paedo tendancies Hmm

I think YADBU and a little mental.

What squeaky said

My best friend has a figure like her and says that she feels like a child. I suppose that knowing that her body type causes actual offence will help her esteem no end...

Yabu she's just thin?!

MaisyMooCow · 16/03/2011 20:51

I suppose it doesn't help matters that they use flat chested girls in some porn films to give the illusion of pre-pubescent girls. Perhaps this is what the OP is getting at ?????

They didn't remove the breasts digitally, Val- she really is very flat chested.

OP-YABU.

I have never posted or responded on AIBU before, but Shock having small boobs doesn't make someone 'pre-pubescent'. Everyone is different, thank god.

op yabu

MaisyMooCow · 16/03/2011 21:03

I don't particularly like or agree with Page 3 of the Sun but how about getting some flat chested women on their for a change. If they're going to show it, shouldn't it be about appreciating the female form and not judging a women on how big her knockers are?

Rosedee · 16/03/2011 21:05

Op how offensive to women like me who have small boobs! you've pissed me right off. Nice to know I look like a child! Ffs.
