    But why is it only woman in the pictures. With lovely aprons on.

    Maybe she likes lovely aprons and likes baking

    So why not a man. Even better . Why not a black man.

    Its a racist and sexist advert .

    Its a well known fact that mens tennis is objectively better than womens but I've still been called a sexist for expressing such a view.

    That's not a fact that's an opinion. I prefer women's tennis because the rallys are longer.

    I think the latest Land Rover is sexist. It's all compact and girly and seems designed to appeal to women drivers. Hell, Land Rovers are the quintessential Urban Tanks, if I could afford to buy one I'd expect it to be a proper Land Rover. It's patronising to infer that us ladies can't handle large beasts.:D
    The Defender is a proper hairy-arsed Land Rover. The rest of them are for soccer moms or Wayne Rooney's after-shave collection. :D

    Women's tennis is just as good if not better than mens, because being less powerful they tend to play a more tactical game. This was particularly true during the Pete Sampras era - that boy had a serve like a medieval siege-engine. In furtherence, Sorana Cirstea. :D
