Does anyone else find this imagery completely inappropriate in this day and age, or am I a prude as my husband so kindly put it? It unnecessarily objectifies women and I thought we’d moved on from this sort of thing.

What a stupid post 😂😂

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.

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.

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.

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

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

FeetLikeFlippers · 16/08/2025 19:39

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!

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

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

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!
