5. It's much more insidious with women

because they are not actually advocating violence when they portray a woman as a bottle of beer. In fact, I'd wager most people would say it's pretty benign to make a woman look like a bottle of beer. They don't see how that could lead to violence. It's not like war/the KKK/the Nazis, where they actually advocate the destruction of a group. "It's a beer bottle after all." I doubt a lot of women see a problem with it either, until they are educated by lectures like this & forums like this & documentaries like Miss Representation.

This was an excellent vid.
