Nelly.com ad in feminism - objectifying

5 replies

MNHQ - you have a nelly.com ad showing in feminism chat under the mobile site.

The woman has one arm behind her head = vulnerable and a vacant/sexy/pout/orgasm type face.

Do you have any discussion with your advertisers about objectification of women/ types of images and poses? A policy?

Does feminism get all ads on a random basis/is there a process to decide what is suitable for each section?

TIA.

Anyone who is thinking Hmm Confused google "you tube killing us softly advertising".

So if I am a feminist who likes looking sexy, I can't post on feminism? Or see adverts that might appeal to me?

And people wonder why most of us sane feminists avoid that section of MN.

Hi LapsusLinguae

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, we will take a look at this now.

It is not only on Feminism the ads seem offensive. I posted about this a while ago

It is not the ads, the entire site is "soft pornly" objectifying women. Angry
