Anyone seen these yet? They're mostly on the greenline in the morning on the televisions.

Honestly, I don't feel very much sympathy for the girl in the ad. I mean, yeah, those adjosshi's are f'in gross, but the girl's wearing her little "catch-a-man" outfit, and is shocked when men are staring.

Not only that, instead of slapping the crap out of the guy touching her leg, she just looks down shame faced. Grow some f'in skin and call him out. Also, maybe don't wear a shirt that shows your non-existant cleavage.

What is the sexual harassment ad trying to sell?

A guy touched my as last week on the subway and I was standing below the ad! I couldn't believe it. Glad to see it's working.

I think it's pretty sad that a country has to go out of its way to education its people on 'courtesy'. Why not just do what China did prior to the Olympics and start fining people and ordering people to stop spitting, etc. I'm not a proponent of communism, but sometimes it's a good thing. Wink

+1. Every time I see that ad I feel like screaming at the screen "if you don't want guys to look then don't dress like that!"

Those ads aren't exactly "new"- they've been posted for almost a year. Rolling Eyes

That ad is hilarious! the guys face when he peeks over the top of the newspaper!

Why doesn't she cross her legs? It does seem as if something is wrong with the culture when subway ads are where people are getting the education they should get from their parents as children.

I was just talking with someone about the difference between perverted and kinky, that one is negative and the other is positive even though they could easily describe the same action. Why would women wear clothes like that if not to attract men's attention? - she just seems to have attracted men she doesn't like.

Sexual harrassment on the subway is no joke. It's disgusting and some of you are obviously immature pea-brains for joking about it. It does happen and it's done by drunken scumbags. Rolling Eyes

hahahaha

outstanding!

that said, I WILL stare at a good looking woman, and I will stare at her whether she's dressed up or not (obviously the more sexy she's dressed the more I will stare, but I'll stare anyways)

you can't make me, NOT look!

of course, touching, comments and drooling aren't acceptable and shouldn't be tolerated.

but I WILL watch you - as much as I can without appearing overly lecherous and deranged.

I think women don't realize how visual orientated men are.
We are instinctively attracted to leg curves and upper body curves.
I mean, how else can you explain that men will look at any bodacious body as long as there is a paper bag on her head?

It's really a gut reaction, there's absolutely no thought process that takes place... kind of like our desire to have sex.

Women don't experience this so they have a hard time seeing how we can justify our instincts by leering at girls in skirts and blouses.

Really women don't think they are asking it, but from a males perspective they really are.

I can't actually get into a mind of a woman and understand how they expect us not to look... they always say just because they look nice doesn't mean we have to leer. Well it's like putting meat in front of a dog and expecting him not to bite. Humans aren't so far ahead of the evolutionary chain that we have forgotten our primal instincts.

AMEN brother!

I would agree with the feminist crowd on one thing though:

dressing up gives us license to LOOK but nothing else.
(if you can't handle that, wear a burqua.. but if your bodacious curves can be seen thru a burkha, I'll notice that too and stare!)


BUT a woman coming to your room doesn't mean she's said yes to sex.

and even if she has - if she subsequently says NO - a no is still a no - a person is entitled to always change his/her mind.
