Phallic-looking objects are all over sex toy ads on the subway, but the MTA seems to have a double standard when it comes to femme-centered toys
, ads for sex toys are barred from Facebook, are restricted on other ad platforms and many payment processors are unwilling to handle transactions for sex toys, fearing the brand reciprocations they might face. But this is one of the first times Dame, or any other sex toy company, has taken this kind of rejection to court.
In response, MTA Chief External Affairs Officer Maxwell Young said in a statement to MTV News that Dame’s accusations of sexism are “clearly inaccurate as the MTA’s advertising is in no way gender-based or viewpoint discriminatory.”, in which it says the “MTA Advertising Policy prohibits any advertisement that promotes a ‘sexually oriented business,’ and advertisements for sex toys or devices for any gender fall within this category.
But Dame argues that ads for erectile dysfunction, female libido medication, condoms, breast augmentation, and the Museum of Sex, all of which are allowed to advertise on the subway, are inherently “sexually oriented” businesses. The MTA has approved ads for both Hims and Roman, companies that sell erectile dysfunction medication among their products;This isn’t the first time the MTA has been accused of sexism in its ad placement.
