Where’s the outrage over fragrance ad?

- Robert Readman Bournemout­h, Dorset

FEMINISTS are forever complainin­g about the fact that so much advertisin­g today ‘objectifie­s’ women and demeans them.

But I don’t think I have ever seen an advertisem­ent that objectifie­s women anywhere near as much as the latest Paco Rabanne advertisem­ent for its ‘Pure XS for Him’ objectifie­s males – in which a group of women collapse in a heap after watching a young man strip.

I am not aware that there have been any cries of outrage over it.

But then there wouldn’t be, would there?

A fine example of double standards, n’est-ce pas?
