Please see our “About,” “Why Radfem?” and “The Gears” pages for additional information about this project.

Common themes represented here:

Male bonding over misogyny.  Us and them mentality.  Men are members of the rapist and abuser class; women are members of the raped and abused class.

Normalize abuse/neglect.  This is one of the most obviously woman-hating, abusive commercials I have literally ever seen.  It actually manages to be shocking in its woman-hatred, despite all the other obviously abusive stuff out there — and that’s saying something.

PIV-centric narrative — Goal is to “land a man”.  Women engaging in male-pleasing behaviors instead of giving this man what he deserves, which would be extremely painful for the man and decidedly unladylike for the women.

PIV-centric narrative — Rape and rape culture.  Drugs and alcohol; Pickup Artistry (negging); abuse.
