I\u2019m a couple of months behind on this one, but various councils in Essex have embraced a litter campaign which features these two posters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The feminists have gone ballistic over it. I became aware of it when I updated that Ched Evans story and had a look at the Jean Hatchet blog to see if she\u2019d wet herself over the news yet, and discovered she was wetting herself over this instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently \u2013 and you need the frontal lobotomy that goes along with feminism get even close to seeing any wrong in it \u2013 the posters imply that men are \u201csmart\u201d and women are \u201cpretty\u201d. And as we know, that proves all men are swine to the average feminist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, if you aren\u2019t unfortunate enough to be afflicted by the mental gymnastics required to be a feminist, what the posters actually say is that the bloke on the left is \u201csmart\u201d in the sartorial sense (which he is), and the woman on the right is \u201cpretty\u201d (which she is). The ads then play on these two words to get the anti-littering campaign across.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people kicking up a stink only seem interested in these two posters, but there are others in the campaign, and one is shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the one on the right is just a prototype, and it appears unfinished. However, when you look at this collection it\u2019s not quite so easy to winkle out a sexist agenda from it. It seems that you have to be able to convince yourself that it is being suggested men are mentally smart compared with women. The use of the word \u201cpretty\u201d can only realistically stand any chance of getting you your 15 minutes of fame if a man says or implies it, and puts it in writing<\/a>. These posters don\u2019t really do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mind you, the first two don\u2019t, either. I guess that\u2019s why the story is confined to a local rag and not the international media agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m surprised this ad campaign from Suffolk didn\u2019t attract the looney feminists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After all, that person in the ad is a female, and that automatically means that every aspect of it must therefore be sexist. I mean, if you have the required short circuits in your brain, the ad clearly implies that women are \u201dtossers\u201d (a gender-reversal in the usual meaning of that colloquial term), and that most litterers are women. The woman is also wearing nail varnish, and everyone know that this is just pandering to bestial male traits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
