Oh, 58 genders is a real thing, and not just the purposeful misunderstanding of a subgroup of a subgroup that doesn’t understand how letters come together to form words that have meaning?
Now I’m furious and I don’t know why.
My plan is to get really repetitive. It will maximize my foolishness as well as the attention I get. It’s a worthy trade-off.
In fact, I think it’s a wise choice, because I’ve got nothing else to do with my afternoon, or my weekend for that matter, or the rest of December, or the remainder of my life.
“An ad that seeks to emphasise the contrast between a boy’s stereotypical personality (e.g. daring) with a girl’s stereotypical personality (e.g. caring) needs to be handled with care.”
“An ad aimed at new mums which suggests that looking attractive or keeping a home pristine is a priority over other factors such as their emotional wellbeing.”
Anyone who thinks that there are not real stereotypical girls and boys personalities hasn’t had children yet, IMO. And keeping a clean house isn’t important…actually as a contributing factor to emotional wellbeing?
Maybe those points can be argued, but they shouldn’t be ordered by a government.
Oh well, that’s England. I’m not going to tell them what they have to do or can’t do. Free speech just isn’t that important to them, obviously.
Just don’t use as an argument to me “the other advanced countries do X” or we should be more like Europe. No, that is not an argument on any subject.
We should do it right, not what they do.
That is far what is happening in the current listed case. The law is narrowly defining what can be represented as gender. In the US, hopefully this would never happen.
Justice Harry Blackmun wrote that the First Amendment “should prevent states from prohibiting advertisements of products or conduct that is clearly legal at the place advertised.”[4] The Court also noted the political nature of abortion and its status as a constitutionally protected fundamental right.[8]
Its not legislation by the government. Jesus - educate yourself on a topic please. The ASA is the self-regulating body that oversees advertising in the UK.
Educate yourself - they are nothing to do with the government nor are they funded by the government yet they are not ignored. The ASA is actually quite effective in what it does.
The Advertising Standards Authority ( ASA ) is the [self-regulatory organisation]"(Self-regulatory organization - Wikipedia) of the advertising industry in the United Kingdom. The ASA is a non-statutory organisation and so cannot interpret or enforce legislation. However, its code of advertising practice[1] broadly reflects legislation in many instances. The ASA is not funded by the British government, but by a levy on the advertising industry."
You appear to be largely correct. If the practices listed in the OP have not been repeated in legislation, not so much a problem.
