While I’m not dismissing the misogyny here, I would argue this is once again capitalism ruining everything. There’s a reason a young, attractive girl with big boobs got the gig. They objectified her just as the anonymous online trolls are doing. The only part AT&T and NYT find objectionable is when the trolling pierced the bland, sanitised corporate social media facade.

Men have an amazing capacity to ruin everything

Let us turn our attention to a particularly illustrative remark within this discourse: ‘Men have an amazing capacity to ruin everything’ Such a statement, albeit perhaps born from a place of exasperation, warrants a closer examination for its pedagogical value.
This assertion exemplifies a rhetorical strategy known as overgeneralization, which, in this context, simplifies the complex dynamics of gender relations and media representation into a singular, all-encompassing narrative. Such a broad generalization obscures the nuanced reality of individual behaviors and societal structures that contribute to the phenomenon of women’s objectification in media. It is imperative to dissect the layers of this issue, recognizing the multifaceted nature of gender dynamics and the diverse range of behaviors and attitudes that perpetuate these media representations.
Furthermore, the remark in question inadvertently steers the conversation away from a focused analysis of disrespectful behavior towards a broader, and often polarizing, debate about gender dynamics. This diversion is not merely unproductive but also obfuscates the original objective of fostering a more respectful and equitable discourse.
Compounding this issue is the unintended consequence of providing fodder for counter-narratives, particularly those propagated by groups with adversarial ideologies. By framing the discussion in terms that are easily co-opted by such factions, the comment risks diminishing the legitimacy of the conversation and alienating potential allies. It is a stark reminder of the necessity for precision in our language and the importance of eschewing broad-brush characterizations in favor of a more nuanced and targeted approach.
In essence, the journey towards a more respectful and inclusive discourse is often fraught with linguistic pitfalls. Our collective endeavor should be to navigate these with a keen awareness of the power of our words and the impact they wield in shaping the contours of this dialogue.
tl;dr: I believe you are better than this, and I encourage you to reflect that in your actions.
