re: #125 Coracle

No. The sex being inferred in the ad is being portrayed as catastrophically good.

What does that have to do with whether the women were supposed to be everywomen? Isn’t the point of the ad for women to want this, to relate to the ad?

Look, I get it. I agree that the ad is failing to do what it intends. But it is not trying to portray women as willing victims of abuse

I’m not saying it is, and I don’t know why you think I am. It’s portraying the average woman— since the women in the ads are not supposed to be exceptional women— as being comfortable with a very high level of injury during sex. Which, you know, isn’t the case. That’s what I’m saying. Whether or not it’s ‘abuse’ is dependent on consent.
