FKA twigs expressed pride in the photos and referenced a similar campaign featuring actor Jeremy Allen White, questioning the apparent double standards. Calvin Klein defended the ad, stating it was in line with previous UK releases, while the Advertising Standards Authority upheld its ruling, citing irresponsible objectification.

FKA twigs' Calvin Klein Ad Banned in UK for Sexual Objectification

A Calvin Klein ad featuring FKA twigs has been banned in the UK for objectifying women, with the Advertising Standards Authority deeming it "likely to cause serious offence" by focusing on the model's body rather than the clothing being advertised. Despite Calvin Klein's argument that the ad showed an "empowered" woman, the regulator ruled that it "overly sexualised" twigs and presented her as a "stereotypical sexual object." This comes after the ASA rejected complaints about similar ads featuring Kendall Jenner, concluding they did not portray her as a "sexual object."

Unveiling the Fascinating Research on Objectification by a Woman

Roxanne Nai'a Felig's research on objectification reveals that it is not just a metaphorical concept, but a real phenomenon in the brain that causes people to treat women as less-than-human. Her studies show that objectification leads to reduced perceptions of women's capacity to suffer, resulting in reduced sentencing for perpetrators of domestic violence and a lack of empathy towards victims. This phenomenon also applies to self-objectification, where women who rank higher in self-objectification literally feel less cold. Nai'a's research highlights the dehumanizing effects of objectification and its harmful consequences on women's mental and physical well-being.

The Dark Side of AI Chatbots in Dating Apps

CupidBots, a new dating app created by supposed ex-Tinder employees, uses AI to automate the dating process for men who are too lazy or pathetic to ask women out. For $15 a month, an AI algorithm picks out women for them on their dating app of choice based on their previous swipes. The app also deploys an AI chatbot to break the ice with anyone matching with its user, masquerading as the man behind the dating profile until the woman agrees to a date or to share their number. The app treats women as merely something to be automatically curated and tricked into playing along, objectifying them in the process.
