ANNALS OF LEFTIST AUTOPHAGY: Women Attack ‘Sexist’ Shopping Spree Ad for Ruth Bader Ginsburg Movie.

Even liberal movies can’t avoid ticking off feminists.

In the lead-up to Christmas, Focus Features released a Facebook ad encouraging women to sign up to win a free shopping spree and a trip to Washington, D.C., to celebrate the release of “On the Basis of Sex,” a movie about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Women attacked this as “sexist,” “sexploitational,” and “deeply unsettling,” and it does seem particularly tone-deaf in context.

“Win a shopping spree and a trip to Washington, D.C. for you and a friend to celebrate the release of On the Basis of Sex based on a true story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” Focus Features wrote in the ad. The ad included a link to the Focus Features website and an invitation to sign up for the contest with a flashy picture of Felicity Jones in a suit in front of the Supreme Court.
