At the very least, it's horribly ageist.

Is this sexist? No. Is it Ageist? You better fucking believe it- but most of the old people who would be offended are too busy eating at Old Country Buffet to give a shit, so it's ok.

To abuse animals that way for the sake of a joke is outrageous and unacceptable. All of you who passively ignore the torture of elephants are Good Germans. You are Nazi sympathizers who have stood by and allowed a holocaust of animal abuse. Hitler! HITLER!

Yes, I know they were just photoshopped. So? SO!!! What's the difference, Adolph?

You might be able to say something like, as women age, the value society attributes to them diminishes (I thought that bit in Paul Constant's piece on masculinity was interesting). Or that society tends to judge a woman's looks more harshly than a man's...

But, not a slam dunk in the sexist department in my book...

The reason that it's sexist is that no one would ever make the same ad about a man, no matter how unpleasantly he was ageing. Mostly because no one really thinks about men's appearance as they age as unattractive. It's women who are supposed to stay unlined and unsagging.

]]> leek http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/hm_1#c1025875 http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/hm_1#c1025875 2008 Thu, 15 May 2008 14:24:20 -0800 Comment by leek By way of reference, check out the amount of media coverage and mockery made of McCain's age--and then think about how much of it has anything whatsoever to do with how he LOOKS at his advanced age.

I've seen plenty of stuff about how you don't really notice how old McCain is until you see him in person or up close, and then, yecchhh.

The notion that women are delicate flowers and must, unlike men, be treated with care and gentility at all times is not a feminist notion. Would-be defenders of Clinton would be well-advised to toughen up and stop pretending that every little slight -- even one that references femaleness -- is not rampant sexism. Women can compete on their merits, not their collection of supposed injuries.

Nothing of this caliber would be out there, and the fact that I pay at least an average amount of attention and haven't seen what you've seen seems to indicate that you're remembering some few-and-far-between instances.

I'm definitely not in favor of a "delicate flower" stance. But the idea that the odd "gee, McCain does look old" comment equals the level of mockery of ageing women is ridiculous.
