All this whining about women not being taken seriously is a bunch of bunk.
OK, I agree, the best way for a person to be taken seriously is to get nekked. I find that in all aspects of the business world.
I guess sheep skin is okay for her

and so was that white hat with the fur ear covers she donned for the Red Bull ad......
Plz...in China you want to rasie awareness about the ethical treatment of animals....hmmm, how about we start with the ethical treatment of people, children.......
She can use her body any way she wants--she has a great body, if she wants to use it to make money, it iis her decision. But, please on the do not wear fur stuff and PETA stuff when I bet we find plenty of leather shoes in her closet.

Again :rofl: Its very hard to take her seriously. She reminds me of Madonna.....anything to make a buck and shock people.

Now, now geek. Did I say it is the best way? Having been in the he-man world as a female litigator, I got tired of hearing all the whining about not being taken seriously. If people would just do their job and not worry about it, things would be much better. If a woman is good at what she does then she will be taken seriously. And by the way, a wise woman will wear attractive, business-appropriate clothing and make-up in the business world? Why is this? Might she be enhancing her "assets?"
If a woman choses to make use of her many assets which include her mind, her body, and her spirit, then I say right on!
I have no idea how sheep skin boots are made. But, I do know that minks--rodents--are not skinned alive to make mink coats.
I think to PETA whether they are skinned alive makes no difference.
I'm sure many people will buy that poster... but not because of the statement.
Without warning Skip switches seamlessly to Fred, his pimple-faced teenage boy personality... "Honest Mom, I only bought the poster for the PETA message!"

Beard isn't dressed.
Geek- I think we are talking about apples and oranges here. I don't think if Amanda was a lawyer that she would show up naked in court to try to win her case. Amanda is a model and in that world, things are a little different than your typical 8 to 5 desk job. For example, I don't think many CPAs would want to wear some of the things I've seen in Vogue to work.
Why do you assume that because she is not dressed that she thinks only her body is valued? Why are you convinced that by her appearing in the nude that a message is being sent that women will only be heard if they get naked?
If the picture were a little more along the lines of what, say, the Dove corporation seems to be trying to promote--the human body as beautiful as opposed to sexy--I'd get it. I guess the beauty of the human body doesn't get attention like the sex factor. I highly doubt this picture will cause many to care about the fate of animals. But, it will get Amanda even more attention for showing off her bod. And that's probably primarily what she wants. It may make some $$$ for Peta as well.
Can't say I've ever understood the line that posing naked somehow empowers a woman or shows that women are sexual as well as athletic. I think all people are sexual, are they not? Do I need to see everyone naked to get that? Hmmm...

If you're going to get naked, isn't it a good idea to look sexy as opposed to having a goofy grin on your face? Maybe Amanda's serious look is naturally seductive.
