Am founder of Real Women on Health! and am appealing to women to find another way to reach men. I'd like to help through my blogtalkradioshow to discuss this issue and come up collectively with new ways forward. 1. The PSA just objectifies women's bodies. Hate to be serious about it, as humor can work and sex can sell, but not at the expense of progress. 2. By progress, what I mean is moving beyond body image stereotypes so women can get beyond "denial" and "disconnection" from their bodies and go get mammograms on a yearly basis and do Self Breast Exams. 3. Help men help women by tapping into their friendship with women, their partners, their loves. I vote for friendship, love and companionship as strategy. I'm offering my blogtalkradio to brainstorm this. Please sign in at www.realwomenonhealth.com and we can continue the conversation. Hi Andrea,
