The advertisement for the “Maximus” brothel in Graz is currently causing a lot of excitement. The billboard searching for “female tester” is being sharply criticized on social networks and on the eXXpress forum. Criticizing the giant poster, Heide Becht, a women’s representative from the city of Graz, said, “The fact that ‘testers’ are being sought for experiments with prostitutes is inhumane and unfair.”
Now Women’s Minister Suzanne Raab (OVP) is also angry: “When I read this, my stomach turns. Women’s Minister Susan Raab expressed outrage on Twitter, saying “This ad is incredibly disgusting, misogynistic and inhumane.” And insist: “Portraying girls and women as objects that can be ‘tested’ glorifies violence and is dangerous.”
However, the brothel owner may not understand the criticism, meinbezirk.at reports: “It is completely clear to me that the term ‘girl taster’ first suggests that we are looking for men, for the merits of our establishment. Women test your industry. ” This is “certainly not the case” and “ethically and economically contrary to our company philosophy”.
It is about finding people who can “psychologically prepare applicants for this difficult, perhaps the hardest job in the world”. However, they wanted to draw attention, he said.
