Bata Shoes controversial ad receives criticism
In today’s era, you cannot target women and get away with it. Women today know how to stand up for their rights. They are talented, skillful, competent, and successful. Advertisements need to grow up now and realize this fact.

Recently Bata introduced an ad with a man’s picture and the tagline read ‘Womanizer & Comfortable With It’.
This ad picture received huge criticism and Bata faced social media backlash.
Let’s look at the reactions of people.

Dear friends: stop wearing Bata shoes after this sexist ad. Unless they pull these ads and apologise, no more favourite Bata slippers, which were the most comfortable. #DontGetComfyWithSexism pic.twitter.com/BOkcsGLvIp

Pathetic marketing by @batashoes . What exactly were you thinking when you ordered, these are to be printed and displayed in our outlets? That men would drool over these when they read womanizer? 😑
