If it’s unacceptable to objectify women in ads, the same should hold true for men, as well.

When this ad debuted on an Australian billboard, it was celebrated as “a satirical comment on a patriarchal world.”

How can this be considered witty and respectable? If there were nude women on a leash held by a man, critics would tear the ad to pieces. It’s humiliating for men to be treated like dogs, and it’s shameful for some women to seek power through discrimination – the same type of discrimination they claim to abhor.
