Should frats be required to take Women and the Media as a GER?

This is sad. Just thought you would all enjoy being sad about this with me.

Male Model poses in Lingerie Ad

As I was going through newspaper articles at work, I found this article:




http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2011/12/andrej-pejic-booked-a-lingerie-campaign.html




The model in the ad is not a biological woman, it is actually male model Andrej Pejic. Pejic is famous for his androgynous look, and has modeled in both men's and women's clothing. He has even been featured in FHM magazine's 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2011. However, this is his first time modeling in women's lingerie. 




Is it problematic for a man to model in women's clothing? Is anyone offended by this?

In order for female athletes to attain attention and support in this strictly biased and stereotyped circumstance, a lot of them choose to pursue the road the media and the society has paved for them. Rather than displaying their athletic prowess and achievement, they exploit their femininity and physical attractiveness to make themselves popular. Any thoughts?

Do you think other companies are using digital models and H & M was just the first to get caught ?

What kind of message does using digital models send ?
