City Beach surf store are selling pornographic clothing and merchandise, including caps and thongs, as well as countless other accessories and items from pencil cases to air fresheners.
They are a popular youth retailer that has a strong presence and influence in the youth market. These kinds of products only help to normalise the objectification and sexualisation on young women.
Get online at Change.org and sign the petition to stop City Beach Surf selling smutty products.
Why This Is Important?
Youth retailer City Beach sells clothing, such as t-shirts, with highly sexualized adult images on them. This clothing objectifies and depicts semi-naked women as always willing and available for sex. It undermines equality and respect for women. Some clothing shows women gagged or battered, including a t-shirt with a bruised woman alongside the slogan ‘It’s only illegal if you get caught’.
City Beach sends a consistent message to their target market of youth that it is normal and acceptable to view women as sexual objects for men’s entertainment, to be valued for their bodies and sexuality, and to treat them accordingly. Let’s send them a message- this behavior is not okay.
