I've never considered myself a "feminist" but these are insulting to women. And they make me think that men are just dumb animals (and the women who posed for them can't be much better).

:roll: You don't see ads with nearly-naked men to sell boots to women.

No, but there are numerous other products out there hawked towards women that do.

Whether you agree with it or not, sex sells; always has, always will.

I would venture say in some ways more so towards women than men. The check out lines at grocery stores are loaded with Cosmopolitan type magazines marketed towards women with catchy cover stories that 99% of the time are about sex.

...to some women, perhaps yourself, but definitely not ALL women. Some women revere their role as sex symbols. I don't think there's anything wrong with that type of confidence.

This is a Head ski boot ad from 1998, from an ad agency in Spain.
The bottom of the ad reads HEAD "The first ski boots with silicone".

I use that Head/San Marco fit system. I'm bummed they discontinued it and I can no longer get any more of those silicon injection liners.

They never told me it comes with a Baywatch babe. :)
