Hots on Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 This morning I caught a bit of news on the BBC news 24 channel. An item came up about how gender stereotypes are to be banned in tv adverts, so no showing of women housekeeping or men having a hard time changing babies nappies and so on. I was waiting to see where this had come from, it must have come from somewhere, I wanted names of individuals or organisations that are calling for these things, but there was nothing! Why do, and why should, faceless anonymous people, who's ideas will affect society if implemented, be indulged by the media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Committees of Advertising Practice is not faceless or anonymous. It is the advertising watchdog and its statement follows on from a review by the Advertising Standards Authority. I guess you were too busy spitting out your cornflakes to notice. I know these things upset you. Now that you have started the thread, maybe you can tell us why gender stereotyping in adverts is a good thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Committees of Advertising Practice wasn't mentioned in the report I saw, but anyway.... This forced social egalitarianism makes me want to vomit.

It was, because I saw exactly the same report, unless you have your own special BBC! Dude, when you start a thread about lazy journalism, the one, single thing you have to do is get your facts right!

Janus Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 There does not seem to be an end to the amount of things that someone wants to ban. There are terrorists in our society wanting to kill and injure innocent people, children starving in Africa etc, and homeless people sleeping in shop doorways on freezing winter nights in the UK, and we hear & read of people wanting to ban lyrics in songs, and adverts showing men changing nappies and women cleaning. What is happening ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiseOwl182 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 When will the ASA clampdown on those sexist Diet Coke ads with groups of women ogling over half dressed men? Imaging the opposite. The BBC News website has largely become a left wing propaganda site, where white heterosexual males are taught to self loathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
