Dear
Elana,
Thanks
for calling these advertisers
on their sexist advertising.
There are a couple of things
you can do:
1.)
Write to the advertiser telling
them how offensive you thought
their ad was, plus tell them
that you won't buy their products
until they have less offensive
ads.
2.)
Write to the place featuring
the ad, telling them that you
won't subject such a venue that
promotes advertisers such as
the ones you saw.
3.)
Send a copy of the ad to Ms.
Magazine for their "No Comment"
Section. This is a section is
the back of the magazine that
features sexist/anti-woman advertising
and encourages their readers
to express their concern to
these advertisers. Ms. Magazine, 20 Exchange Place,
22nd Floor, New York, New York
10005, USA. Attention: No Comment.
4.)
Visit about-face.org---which
serves much the same purpose
as Ms.' "No Comment"
section.
I
hope that helps and thanks for
speaking up.
--Amy
