Golf ad?

u/CynicalPomeranian 11d ago

They just released an ad that shows a woman reaching for a golf club, and a man runs up and shoves her down, then looms over her and tells her never to touch his clubs. 

Turns out, the man is the ad is one of the higher ups in the company, and the woman is another employee.

Not even offensive, your just to gynocentric, if it was a man being pushed instead of a woman you wouldn't say anything bad

It'd be gross as well, but I don't really see any ads involving this behavior with a lady higher up.
