Flicking through the "what's on" section of my local free paper, place where they usually advertise pantomimes, car boots etc and there is a delightful half page advert for a dubious sounding strip club and bar with the headine "5 new girls this weekend, come and see the big girls play" accompanied by a large photo of a bum (admittedly with a slither of g string on it) and dollar notes shoved in it.
Am I BU to expect to a read a local paper without such a blatantly sexist, derogatory picture? Should I complain as its really incensed me. I have 2 very very young daughters but I don't want them to see adverts like that as the norm. Should I write to the letters page (and accept it probably won't get printed) or email the editorial team direct?
AIBU?
Not to want to see a woman's bum in my local paper?

OP you're not going to get very far with this because everyone who understands will say YANBU.
And everyone who doesn't will say you are.
YANBU, and I work in the sex industry!
I think there's a time and a place for everything, and although I have no problem with nudity and sex, I wouldn't want a picture advertising what is basically a sexual service next to advertising car boot sales 
. If people want to find places like that they can go online; at least that way those who don't want to see images like this won't accidentally stumble upon them.

Did you make that expression up? It really made me laugh and I googled it thinking it was some regional expression but couldnt find it. Really funny!
