This isn't feminism. It's moronic people behaving moronically in the name of feminism, thus severely hindering the movement, as we can clearly see here.
Simone de beauvoir is the first one that comes to mind that has some well-known skeletons in her closet
She said that women shouldnt have the choice to stay home with kids, because too many of them will choose it. She also groomed a couple of teen girls, if i recall correctly.
Funnily enough, the Rockefellers and the CIA put resources into the feminist movement as well.
Everyone is CONSTANTLY shouting virtue signals at each other. That's bad, you're bad, I know what's good, I'm good!
The problem is you don't need to actually be correct because you thought long and hard (tictok world, hello?). All you have to do is "condemn the crazies" so your supposed correctness can be seen.
You're literally doing it right now. You are the problem.
Other movements distance themselves from people who do that. Reasonable, decent feminists (if there are any) need to get better at calling out badly behaved feminists.
Yea, I frankly don’t care if women want to walk around nude, it doesn’t impact me. But challenge me to spot the difference and I’m going to do my best to spot the difference.
Yeah its definitely a weird, want to be gotcha moment. Its like those spot the difference pictures. If you get told to spot the difference then it kind of stands to reason you'll try and spot the difference.
Considering this is an ad targeted at women to get them to shop for women's clothes, I fail to see how this actually has anything to do with feminism, except that it mentions women's day. And it only mentions women's day because they have discounts at that day.
There's literally nothing about that ad that's targeting men or that's about any part of feminism.
It's just about "Buy more clothes here, and also buy something else than what you usually buy".
I can't be bothered to confirm, because I'm not giving them the traffic, but I'm going to assume they mean "don't worry if the skirt is slightly shorter than you were looking for; look how much cheaper it is!"
There's no need to interpret. The ad spells it out.
"Get biggest discounts on women's fashion."
This ad only uses the word "Woman's day" because of the discounts that are available on that day. You could replace "Woman's day" with "Halloween", "Black Week" or any other "shopping holiday" and it would work exactly the same.
I think it's why you hate feminism. It's not why I hate feminism. Because I don't!
I am perfectly able to cope with the concept that women deserve the same rights and treatment as men, and not get butthurt about men being called out when they are abusive or misogynistic or just plain fucking weird. But looking at the threads off this post I feel like maybe that's just me.
Im not part of this argument, but if something connecting itself to "womens day" with a message about womens rights, safety, and sexualisiation, I would say that said message was inherently feminist.
I'd also.wager that the makers of said poster would say that their.message was feminist as well.
I dont think things need to literally have the words "this message is endorsed by feminism Inc." on it to be feminist
Feminism is an ideology and a wide ranging one at that. Some things are clearly feminists without having to declare it. Feminism doesnt need to declare itself
The point is in the add lol "stop focusing on skirt length this woman's day"
If you need it spelled out for you: it's guessing that your first guess when looking at the ad is skirt length as the difference.
Because typically younger girls are wearing skirts or just women in general. The idea behind the idea is normally of people weren't focused on checking out girls/women their reaction would be "hmm they look the same" but the emphasis on length implies that people are thinking about it more sexually than they should.
Hence the message. Is it well executed? Hell no as someone with an MBA and focus on marketing it's a horribly designed ad, but that's what happens when Gen X ( likely ) lead paint swiss cheese brain takes over the department.
But in fairness it is getting spread around social media. So maybe they achieved their goal lol.

Funny, I read a comment of yours pointing out "bigotry" in someone else's comment (there was none), and here you are with your bigoted, ageist commentary.
I'd guess you don't have the introspection to see that, though.
This ad isn't feminism. It's an ad for a fashion app. The point is to generate outrage from people like you, because that spreads their brand messaging even further for free. It's the exact strategy PETA uses.
The ad was made by some corpo stooge with no real understanding of the issues to try and generate outrage.
The outrage isn't at the ad it's self by the idiot defending the ad because it used a weasle word to cover the misandry. That's the feminism I know and hate.
You will be less mad when you consider how stupid, uninformed, and low skill the average person is at anything. Then realize the people who the ad resonates are those people.
Americans have become obsessed with "creep" as an accusation. I noticed this when I returned to the States about 15 years ago, after a while away. There was a local story about a "creeper" on a local trail that turned out to be a dude from another country just trying to meet women. I kept noticing the term, and checked Google Trends. Indeed, the word had become much more common in recent years.

It says you might be a creep. You might not!
