Tell Virgin Atlantic: There's Nothing 'Fun' About Exploiting Women

March 18, 2004

Update: Outrageous Interruptus: NOW Cheers Decision to
Abandon Sexist Urinals
(3/19/04)

Action Needed:

UrinalA urinal shaped like a woman's open mouth is reportedly being installed in the men's room of the newly opened Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. John Riordan, the British airline's customer-services vice president, was quoted in the New York Post newspaper saying that the urinal is "just for fun."

"This is insulting to women, but it's also insulting to men," said NOW President Kim Gandy. "I don't know many men who think it's cool to pee in a woman's mouth, even a porcelain one. It's juvenile."

Contact Virgin Atlantic CEO Richard Branson and tell him to
GROW UP!
