Dear Mdm President Dana Lam Mdm,

I have read your letter regarding the bar breast size promotion and I am as disgusted as you are at this disgusting promotion. I wish to tell you that you have my full support.

Firstly, let me begin by saying how pleased I am that you are again in charge of AWARE. Without you, we would have a bunch of people out to impose their values upon us. With you, we have a bunch of people out to impose your values upon us. What a great difference it makes!

Your values are so much better than their values! Your values are firm, their values are saggy! I reject their values, I embrace your values!

I very much enjoyed how you named all the companies run by the same management as the bar that had the promotion, showing the kind of non-discrimination that AWARE is so well-known for. The public should know which companies are also managed by these evil people, so that we can avoid inadvertently discriminating against them.

Truly, without this promotion, there wouldn’t be any breast-gawking, particularly in a bar (due to the poor lighting). It is very wise of you to point out the social cost of this, a social cost that is surely much higher than a civil society educating our young that a tenant of their faith is wrong.

I totally agree. The odds are already stacked against women, especially if they are not evenly stacked.

I am disgusted by all the women who go around displaying their bodies publicly, as if they don’t care that it makes women with character look bad. It is shameful! They should cover themselves up, like they do in the Middle-East. Those Middle-Eastern women are surely valued for their character and contribution, not for their value as sex objects (unless, of course, one is into ninja sex).

I hope that you will continue your campaign against the “distorted image of the ideal body”, since that distorted image appears on magazine covers and on TV. I particularly like that the Evony ads have stopped running on my Internet. I know that I have you to thank for this.

Also, as you said, “The indignity is suffered only by one gender.” So unlike the common practice of “Ladies Night”, which you made no mention of, and, presumably, have no problems with. Obviously, the indignity of men having to pay isn’t “suffered” by men at all, or isn’t an indignity, or something. I’m sure that it’s clearly explained in the Woman’s Charter.

It is simply not right to “(reduce) a woman’s value to her breast size”. You are so right! Size isn’t all that’s important! There is also shape, symmetry, perkiness and all the other stuff in the bust-enhancement ads that fills our newspapers.

A woman is more than any single attribute. I wish to call your attention to another civil society that has been judging women on a single attribute for a number of years now. Perhaps you might consider reforming them after you reform the media?

I refer, of course, to Mensa, which has been reducing women to the singular number of their IQ. How is this right? What does her IQ speak of her character and contribution, or, for that matter, of the size of her boobs?

There is nothing free about letting a room of people gawk at your brains. Even if a woman is willing to pay the personal price of loss of dignity, there is still a cost suffered by other women.

The women who participated have contributed to the objectification of women, to reducing a woman’s value to her IQ, and have helped reinforce the belief among men that this is not only acceptable, but welcome.

Yes, women have the right to choose, but individual choices are made in a social context. And in our current social context, women have a much harder time to be esteemed as individuals above and beyond their value as sex objects.

Mensa perpetuates the notion of women as sex objects and makes it that much more difficult for each woman who wants to be valued for her character and contribution, rather than how she stacks up to a distorted image of the ideal intellect.

With Mensa around, men will think that it’s okay to be attracted to a woman who is witty and informed. Surely this is unacceptable. What about the 97% of women who cannot join Mensa? Who will speak for them?

You will, Dana Lam, you will!

I hope that, once you stop the beautiful women from appearing in media, you will stop the smart women from working in jobs that utilise their brains. As a woman who is neither beautiful nor intelligent, you are quite a character.

Maximizing support,


Your Greatest Fan.
