New comment on "Do you think the new group banner is sexist?"

משרות הייטק בין חברים, נקי מחברות השמה ואאוטסורסינג Do you think the new group banner is sexist? Leyble, the offensive ad appears to have been taken down now, but just to answer your point, according to the Oxford dictionary, sexism refers to, "Prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex." I described the image as sexist because it does stereotype women in a way that I, and many other men and women, perceive to unnecessarily sexualize the character illustrated, in the context of hitech employment and talent. A similar image of a "strong, attractive" female wearing very little, on the cover of the Science Fiction Writers Association, caused such a global outcry that the magazine editor resigned. http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/will-fantasy-genre-ever-grow-and-ditch-chainmail-bikini-150004 . Many of the hundreds of complaints referred to sexism and the sexist nature of the image. If you prefer to think of it as exploitative, which it is, that's fine too :) By Tamar Wisemon Like • Comment • Follow Tamar • Delete Want to stop receiving emails for new comments?
