Gender Discriminating Promo on your website 'For Him' & 'For Her'

[maseskotravai]

Dear M/s. Ebay.in,

We from M.A.S.E.S - 'Movement Against Sexual Exploitation and Sexism' strongly Condemn the promo on your website titled 'For Him' & 'For Her'. The promo disseminates Gender Bias, It propogates that Women are only Beauty Conscious. It labels Women as mere 'Consumer' with no brains for 'techy / intellectual' stuff.

These Ideologies infiltrate into the minds of People with greater influence and adds up to 'Gender Casting', 'Gender Bias' and influence Men also to think of Women as only mere products for Sexual Appeal. The 'General Intellect' is carried away by 'attractive offers' and fail to think of the Male Chauvinistic Representation in such advertisements and Promos.

Once again we strongly Condemn the 'Gender Discrimination' in your promo. We request you to kindly remove the discriminating content.

Thanking You,
yours truly,
M.A.S.E.S (India)

Dear Members,

“eBay does not, in any way, encourage any bias or discrimination basis race, gender, age or other characteristics. This is purely an attempt to provide, what we feel are, attractive deals and variety relevant to men and women”. Also this is just a merchandising segmentation approach.

Trust this clarifies your concerns.

Regards,
Seema

Dear Ms. Seema,

Thanks for the clarification after probably the 'firmly raised voice' at the tollfree today. I / we are quite aware of these kind of legal terminologies & explanations given by the business groups.

//As just a merchandising segmentation approach // - why don't you caption it as 'Techie Gadgets' 'Life Style Products' which rather directly explains the category, rather than 'coining' it with discriminating content, which definitely is framed on the basis of 'sexual' identity created by the Social Institution.

The General Intellect is carried away by the 'casting' that is already existing in the society created by Male Chauvinism and so they don't recognize such 'sensitive' discrimination. How do 'you' or your organization conclude what is relevant for 'Men' & 'Women'...Majority is conditioned by framed ideologies, and so they could be wrong...so pl don't give me explanation saying Majority feels so...etc... etc...

If the discriminating content is not removed, I am sorry to say that M.A.S.E.S would take it to next level..

thanks for responding,
Kotravai.

Dear Kotravai.

Please do not try to create unnecessary controversy. eBay has been doing a great job. please do not demotivate them. Please find something better to do in your spare time. Thank You.

Hello, ink-shop-india (3710)

With the star & kind of feedback, I am sure you should be a vendor using e-bay to sell 'urself'...sorry 'ur products'...you could continue to do that, rather telling me / my group what to do in spare time...how do you know for sure...I have spare time...

We are opposing ebay & not Ink-shop right? so let them give us an answer...ok...

don't expect reply to your meaningless comments hereafter...I have much to do over this issue..

[maseskotravai]

Dear Ms.Seema,

you can do the same adverstising/segmentation without encouraging bias..

hope you understand.

Dear ebay team & rest of the sexists,

I can very clearly post you a question, while you say it is relevant for 'men' & 'women' - do you mean to say that 'third sex' or the queer people are not capable of using such products. Are they not human beings, are they not part of our society...I am recommending you to become more responsible by supporting 'genderless' ideology & get yourself out of the binary ideology 'male' & 'female'...
