Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and art is usually meant to be interpreted by the one viewing it. What surprises me is that they were surprised by the negative feedback they got. Really? Makes me wonder what they expected. To show women and girls tied up with their mouths taped shut overtly invites negative responses. Well, no doubt they got their fifteen minutes of fame. I wonder how it has impacted their Christmas celebrations.
I thought the picture is appalling! I do get the "joke" and bad taste does not describe it.
It is saying all females need to shut their mouths or someone will do it for them. It is an insult to abused women everywhere. Personally I don't care who thought of the idea, the message is clear. Women of any age should not be able to express themselves, because it interferes with the deep and important thoughts of men of all ages!
After all the work I have done with a used women I'm outraged! I just wish I had never looked at that card. It will haunt me for a little by time!

I say that they should do a follow up of the reverse.

I agree with you Angela although not as upset as you (probably because you work with abused woman and have seen some horrendous things) But I did not like that card at all either!! Taping the females mouths shut and tying them up was in bad taste for sure and the son with the thumbs up really bothered me. It sends a negative message about men and women.

i agree that it was derogatory and tasteless and sent the wrong message...
but i am going to give this family the benefit of the doubt...i think they just had the same awkward moment as that person at a party who makes a comment that comes out -entirely- wrong and everyone hears it as something awful and stares at them...
and this is coming from someone who is more feminist than the feminists so i am certainly not predisposed to favor them...
