#erased - Watch advert for female athlete losing to males

[YouJustDoYou]

Says it all, really. Train and train and train and train for....nothing, just to lose out to a biological man who has just swanned in to swoop all the prizes for himself. Fantastic advert, and sad that it's "groundbreaking" in the face of these fascists screaming to silence these voices.

"Watch advert" as in, should've clarified, it's an advert for watches.

Strange to relate, I'm actually thinking about buying a new watch at the moment.

That's a very telling ad.

That’s quite interesting. A company feeling that public opinion is on the WTF stop this shit side to the extent of making their advertising about it is quite a big deal.

I’ve noticed that til tok’s algorithm today days is showing lots of stop erasing women content - which I haven’t had previously (it’s nothing to do with my viewing habits being all TERFy in any way). Today’s new topics the algorithm is cakegate and people defending women’s right to women’s spaces. That’s
interesting.

Not least because mostly I get absolute nonsense about rock polishing, how to make fancy veg/side dishes and spiritual/tarot/astrology woo nonsense (which amuses me so, so much). But today it’s all been TERFy arguments by Americans who don’t even know that radical feminism is a thing. Some of which is definitely prompted by anger about Dylan and bud light.

Who knew that bud light was going to be the thing that made men give a fuck. 🤦🏻‍♀️

That was actually a good advert. Thanks for posting.

I think I’m coming to the conclusion that - for all the various accusations and attempts to smear by association - the reason that so many different groups are arriving at somewhat similar conclusions is that the alternative argument is ridiculous. And maybe we can stop fearing being ‘oppressors’ and just say that.

just like the majority of the human population - regardless of political views or whatever - know the world is a sort of spheroid thing. No one is oppressing the flat weathers. They’re just wrong.

This is not getting into bed with nazis or whatever. It’s simply that the vast majority of people, really do know that there are two sexes. It’s not some indication that your views are abhorrent any more than the fact that most of humanity can agree that there are important, biologically cases differences between infants and adults. Or that it’s light when the sun is up and dark when it’s not. Or anything else that is just basic. And should be uncontroversial. These are points in which most people just agree and it’s ridiculous that a tiny, tiny group of very noisy activists (who don’t even necessarily represent the people they claim to represent) have made any headway in getting people to take yhem
seriously. M

They have done it before in 2019

The US is very divided. Down in Florida they must see a good market amongst the anti-woke. Good as, but politicians please note. It is not a war. You don’t need to pick sides. Just acknowledge biology and fairness.

I think Squidward has it here.

Agree completely. Very well put.

I'm really saddened by how divisive this topic (and so many others) are. Men Vs women, Left Vs Right. I don't want a war, I just want fairness, and biological reality to be recognised.

That's where I stand too... and so do the majority of women I speak to. It's been turned into something really nasty.

That has cheered me up! Thank you for sharing it. Let's hope it wakes some more people up

Just along the lines of the tide turning in the US, Bill Maher heree, celebrating people and organisations that don't back down in the face of cancel culture

I've just seen on their website for their products they have a subsection for previous adverts. Fantastic. And some of their watches have already sold out since I looked last night.
