  12.     >Perhaps feminists would feel better about themselves if the only pictures
  13.     >in magazine ads, posters, etc. were of ugly sloppy pathetic women.  Is that

  16. Although I agree that advertizements does not need "ugly sloppy pathetic"
  17. women as the models, I would like to see more variety.  I see no real reason
  18. that all ads have to have someone 5'8",100lbs,with long, thick hair.  Why
  19. is a woman 5'4", 120 lbs, with short hair not just as good at advertizing a
  20. vacuum or car?
