It’s amazing how I’ve been surrounded by ads like these my whole life, but never looked beneath the surface of “they’re using sex to sell.”

I’m so scared to raise two daughters in this society. And what’s even scarier, is that the U.S. probably has one of the least masogynistic societies in the world.

The British watch advertisement she talks about in this article? Makes me shudder.
