119. Imagery in above posts is degrading to women.
WE do not choose it. In this culture it is imposed upon us. It is not erotic but decadent as in a 'last days of Roman Empire' caricature.

I believe the dominance of such imagery is negative. It may thrill some males at the price of denigrating women. What can we do? Protest to the advertisers, I guess. And refuse to buy the advertised products and TELL THEM WHY!
