Degrading to women

Sir,
I refer to ‘An ad too far?’ by Jacqueline Theodolou last Saturday, April 8.

I find the promotion of Replay distasteful and degrading to women, and wonder, how come so much fuss is made of International Women’s Day when we women are still widely used so commercially?

It also surprises me how lightly Cypriot ladies are taking it. To me they seem so religious, (judging from the attendance to a church in my neighbourhood). Orthodox teaching certainly advocates modesty, doesn’t it?

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
