LynneinNewton

? I was in tears watching some of these commercials because of the rampant sexualization and objectification of women during the superbowl ads.

The whole 3 hour show was a testiment to male dominance over women that harkened back to the days of beer commercials showing bikini clad women dancing around with no mind of their own.

I'm struggling trying to write this now because my eyes are tearing up thinking back to it. It was traumatic not just because of how badly women were treated, but because I watched with my children a boy and a girl and had to explain to them after they laughed at some of these commercials why they were rude. Against our better judgement we watched the entire game. And I love football, but had to excuse myself from the room for some of the commercials.

I kept reading thinking I'd run across something that would prove the reply was sarcastic, but no...I think Lynne is deadly serious! "In tears" from commercials. "In tears" writing days later about the commercials! Good freakin' grief!

She needs a real man. Hopefully he will be a doctor that can prescribe her some good meds.

She’s from Newton. That is all you need to know. One time I was in Newton and saw a bumper sticker that read “Equality to a man? Why lower myself.”
