And then we had the giant billboard shoe ad over the monash fwy featuring a woman holding a leash tied to a collar on a semi naked man on all fours under her feet. To reverse the genders in such a depiction would be unthinkable.
We are not a more enlightened society that has outgrown discrimination. We have merely shifted it according to the power wielded by political interests.
P.S. There is no such thing as "reverse discrimination." Either there is discrimination or there is not.
