Stereotyping Women?

Hey,what's with this National Women's commisson making a move to banning Ads stereotyping women selling Washing machines and Fairness Creams. from when did such banning bring down the cases of violation of women's rights?..............
Actually i think the whole situation is pretty wharped ..............the problem does not lie with the advertiser or the viewer it lies with US women.
We feel that if a particular product is shown with a Woman propogating it that it is Violating Woemns right's ....................But frankly arent we the one's who are actually using the washing machine at home and arent we the foolish ones who want to become FAIRER for our better halves, then in what way is it VIOLATION?
And the how can you confidentally say that because we are not using woman to sell these products THEY (ie the women) will not be the ones ultimately using it .................
There has to be some logic in what we fight for ...........
I beg to differ about those who say Women have been suppressed for years....... this is like the reservation issue ...............for how long do we have to give special preferences to women to help them come up .............we as women must fight against such situations. When we are fighting for equality in all spheres of life be it at Work or Home to actually get taken in by such political gimmicks
is ridiculous.
If the National Women's Commison really wants to do something ask them to do it against Girl feoticide , against child marraige , for educating a girl child , frankly even againt the absolutly attricious presentation of Women in Serial and Shows on TV and Films...........
by doing so we will be able to change the MINDSET of people and thats whats most essential .........looking at things with a Diffrenet Mindset, to get out of the Traditonal mould and then they would have made a DIFFERENCE.
