KFC apologizes for TV ad that shows young boys staring in awe at a woman adjusting her breasts

What’s bad for both young men and women is that sexual attraction/desire in men is to be celebrated, while in women it’s to be denied, suppressed, etc. We very much expect young women to suppress their desires and to not be sexual beings, while we encourage it in young men to the point of expecting them to objectify women

Boys will be boys and therefore:

1. Boys must be forgiven for leering at women
2. Women should be shamed for appealing to boys (@purplecat’s comment on the ruling about bare breasts)
3. Boys can’t be sexually assaulted because they want it (@Avery_Thorn’s comment)

It feels almost like being against all these things is a consistent worldview rather than a faux outrage factory!

In other words:
NO: Is this story accurate ?
YES: Why this story?

Thanks for this very short summary of a thing I would have written in ten florid paragraphs.
