Is this commercial sexist?

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

This is an obviously sexist commercial being brought to the feminist forum by a poster who continually throws jabs at the feminists.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Feb 27, 2012, 11:36 AM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Snooper2 posted this ad with a question. Answer it. I'm not going to vote to hide something because the alerter said, "other posts..." If snooper2 posts other things that offend you, alert on those.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Nothing wrong with this post. The group design allows for hosts to ban disruptive users. OTOH the feminist group seems to be pretty confrontational.."why can't we all just get along?"
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: whatever the motivation of the poster, the commercial is worthy of being discussed. (and criticized)
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: As a lifelong feminist, I am so sorry for the pain in this forum. It's almost as if there was a sign on the door that says, "I'm a bruise, pinch me."

Sometimes it's better to look at the message and leave the messenger alone...water off a duck's back type approach. Yes, it's obvious it's sexist and as the one response notes, most commercials are. It seems women have two roles, mother or/and whore in the eyes of "Madison Avenue"...okay probably in almost all masculine trained eyes.

Good luck in there! Try to remember the best approach is one of compassion.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
