I'm comfortable with nakedness and sexiness. I doubt the booth would have hit my radar at all if they'd included male models too. Honestly, this wouldn't be a blog post if the CEO had responded in a thoughtful way. It's his response that is most offensive.
- randomdata 14y agoI appreciate the response. It was actually the original tweet that made me feel it was about the generally negative view of bodies, and not any kind of women's rights issue. It mentions appropriateness, which is usually associated with people, of all sexes, needing to covering up to be appropriate. Obviously the whole thing runs much deeper and I agree that things could be handled much more effectively.

Or any of the tweets you quoted. I tried to be pretty careful, thoughtful, and understanding but apparently I failed badly. After all this discussion I have no idea what your objection actually is. Sorry for wasting everyone's time, I wish there was something I could actually take away from this but I just feel defeated by this whole conversation.
