State Rep. Claims Retail Supplier’s Billboard "Sets Women Back 50 Years"
March 17,2015
A Massachusetts State Rep. has declared, on Facebook, that a billboard from Gulf Electricity has, "set[] women back 50 years," according to SouthCoastToday.com
As described by SouthCoastToday.com the billboard, using one of Gulf's many puns, "depicts a female leg wearing a stiletto heel poking a light switch," with the tagline, "Are we turning you on yet?"
Landmark advancements for women over the past 50 years (give or take) include the Violence Against Women Act, Equal Pay Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, Eisenstadt v. Baird, Roe v. Wade, and Title IX. Apparently, Fiola believes this billboard has the power to repeal all of these
