This tutorial on how to shop in a sexy way is a scandal

The Italian channel which aired this sexist sequence has since apologized.

How can this kind of tutorial still exist today? In the program "Detto Fatto", broadcast Tuesday, November 24 on Rai 2 (Italy), a sequence explained how to go shopping while remaining sexy, reports the Corriere della Sera. A totally sexist vision in a #metoo world. Emily Angelillo, a young pole dancer, explained to women how to walk while pushing her trolley, how to stretch, suggestively, to reach a product placed on a high shelf or even the right figure to squat when an article fell to the ground. Aberrations!

Broadcast in the middle of the afternoon, this sequence was burned on Twitter. The Italians were outraged and blamed Rai for "throwing in the garbage years of fighting" for equality.

A deserved apology

Wednesday, November 25, the management of Rai 2 wanted to justify themselves by blaming this moment on irony. But of course the expected effect fell through. "Our intention was not to convey negative stereotypes about women, which everyone agrees to blame and condemn. The channel is seriously committed to investigating what happened and the responsibilities, and to ensure that this does not happen again in the future: it would be contrary to the spirit of the program and to the civil values ​​of the presenter, the authors and Rai 2 ", announced the channel.
