LONDON (AP) — Hapless husbands and housework-burdened moms were being banished from British advertising, as a crackdown on “harmful” gender stereotypes came into force Friday. Under new rules, advertisements must not include “gender stereotypes which are likely to cause harm or serious or widespread offense.”
Examples include depictions of a man failing to change a diaper or a woman to park a car, or ads that suggest women are solely responsible for cooking and cleaning.
Complaints will be assessed by industry watchdog the Advertising Standards Authority. It doesn’t have the power to impose fines, but British broadcasters are bound by the terms of their licenses to comply with its rulings.
The watchdog, which has previously banned ads for suggesting it was desirable for young women to be unhealthily thin, said it won’t ban all stereotypes, such as women cleaning or men doing home-improvement jobs.
The authority said its aim is to remove those that are harmful, such as ads that contrast “caring” girls and “daring” boys, or mock men for carrying out stereotypically “female” tasks.

For your interest.
“Housewife” isn’t harmful. What’s harmful is saying hes are shes.
The entire world is insane.
Good news. No more portrayals of men as idiots or uncontrollably violent. We will all be intelligent, kind, honorable, and brave, as we know we all are.
Does that mean they will quit portraying all doctors, judges and crime victims as Black?
[ UK Bans ‘Harmful’ Gender Stereotypes in Advertisements ]
What? Like “male” and “female”?
Like how God made them? (reiterated by Jesus Himself)
Or burglars. Burglars are never black in ads.
Not hispanic or Asian, either.
All you see today are mixed couples and black people so they don’t want to sell to white people anymore ?

A perfect scenario for the Tribulation and the rise of the Man of Sin (Antichrist). /preaching to the choir
IMHO
Yes, the insanity is global.
Don’t forget that White husbands are borderline retarded. Luckily the awesome wife keeps everything together, and his Black ChemE friend is cool and ultra wise...
That’s creepy.
And computer hackers are 13-year-old black girls.
I may be a sexist, chauvinist, or whatever . . but this is my view of women. An ideal women should be absolutely gorgeous. She should have long blonde, brunette or red hair. Her skin and figure should be perfect. A woman like this can be a goddess and rule the world. The minute one like this opens her mouth and spouts some lesbo transgender trash she is ruint. No matter what libtards try they can’t take away a normal male’s attraction to a beautiful woman!
The End is near.
Deat Mr. Bolton: The leftist, degenderizing Brits are as extreme in their own way as the clerics running Iran, so why aren’t they BOTH on our enemies list?
