Tbh, the worst thing that can happen for women rights is people complaini.g about ads like this. As it makes you look patethic, really its meant as light hearted fun. By getting upset and moaning you appear to be no fun over sensitive, hormonal. You need to fight the good fight. Did men complain when David Beckham was all over the place in his underware.

To me, OP, it seems your issue is that the girl is attractive. If she was an average looking woman with a few extra pounds it probably wouldn't "offend" you.

It does NOT tell men that it is ok to grab at sexy women.

I could easily twist your logic and say it does nothing for mens rights as it says it okay to be physically abusive towards men with a slap in the face.

Some people aren't happy unless they are offended.

Know your audience. Coming into the Ladies Lounge and telling us that we're hormone riddled sensitive fools is really just not on.

I suggest you read the charter before posting again.

Maybe she's touching his face because she was playing with glue and accidentally got her hand stuck to your man's cheek, would that help?

Oh no wait, it probably wouldn't, never mind.

Well what do you think?

I think it is demeaning to women and that it portrays the image that men can go along and grab at sexy women. Tag Rugby in an inclusive sporting and social activity and this advertisement is wrong.

You say this and yet you wish to start a 'gonewild' forum which you propose is where consenting women post pictures of themselves in various states of undress (quote bensweeney) the cheek

And on that note, think this thread has run it's course.
