Questions have been raised on my trade me auction as to whether it is appropriate to use a picture of attractive women to advertise the sale of the bar whose proceeds are going to help disadvantaged women.
Firstly, I'd like to point out that putting a picture of a pretty girl using a product is hardly a novel form of advertising. The models are both beautiful, healthy, educated young women- and their choosing to use their good looks to promote a good cause is not an insult to women; be they in New Zealand or Jaipur.
Secondly, feminism does not mean conforming to a strict set of standards that decide how an emancipated women should behave. To us, it means having the freedom to live how you want, to express yourself and to be treated as an equal regardless of the length of your skirt or the color of your hair.
Peace out, hombres x
