    Sexist Ads

    Crackdown on Sexist Advertisements

    Advertisements that perpetuate sexist stereotypes, from men bungling housework to girls being less academic than boys, will be banned under rules being proposed by the industry watchdog.

    The crackdown by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) will toughen rules on ads that are deemed to present activities as only appropriate for one gender or another, or that mock those who do not conform to stereotypical gender roles.
    Don't suppose they'll be reviving the Flake advert then

    Don't suppose this German beer advert will be making the screens in the UK. How come the English are so prudish?

              “Our review shows that specific forms of gender stereotypes in ads can contribute to harm for adults and children,” said Ella Smillie, lead author of the report."

              Well yes if you a snowflake who expects the world to be exactly how you expect it to be and simply refuse to accept other people are different....

              it's just rubbish!
