to find this offensive?

I am not normally a sensitive soul and usually things pass me by without me even registering, but this has really irritated me!

I work for a large international corporation who recently held their first ever 'Women's Leadership Summit' The logo for this prestigious event promoting and supporting women in the workplace was a picture of a red stiletto. Could they not have found a less sexist image??

I don't think it is that big a deal tbh.

YANBU - are they taking the piss? Why not add a lipstick and a handbag whilst they're at it.

LOL well all girls love shoes so what's your problem LOL?!?!?!?

Yes, it's fucking moronic, stereotypical and depressing. Worth protesting against? Not in my opinion. Save your energy for shoe shopping [sigh]

YANBU. If I saw a poster advertising some professional men's gathering illustrated by a big blue football I would think it was very patronising and not serious.

Seeing as a red stiletto was the signature image for The Devil Wears Prada...are they saying they align themselves with the feminist ideals laid out in that film?

YANBU. They are totally lacking in imagination and have clearly mis-read their audience.

YANBU ludicrous.

i farking hate stilettos and any heels for that matter so completely sexist!

I would find that logo really inappropriate. a stiletto panders to a male idea of female sexuality, and surely the emphasis should be on women as business people - allowing us (women) to take how we're perceived by men out of the equation.
