Lifesavers patronizes you, gives you a whole new thing to hate about your body, all the while making

Above and beyond the fact that this television commercial is offensive because its patronizing to women, fat-phobic and all around offensive, how messed up is it that her “supervisor” is making derogatory remarks about her body and her live-in partner (a “sensitive male chauvinist,” if you will) lies to her about the comment’s actual meaning and then says, jokingly, “hey, lay off my girl, har har.” Actually, patronizing boyfriend, I think what happened to “your girl” constitutes workplace harassment.
