Sexism in modern tv advertising ignored by the media
 
I just watched the misandrist male bashing bonmarche advert where women are hitting men and mocking them and no one bats an eyelide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS6u4NPFI2Q came across just a few of 1000s of male bashing adverts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S62sl-qWEqo....the general theme is all men are morons, incapable, selfish, lazy, greedy, incapable, dumb , ignorant stupid idiots and all women are perfect and betetr at everything and of course thats not sexist at all?


If it was the other way around the adverts would be pulled down the company fined, politicians would be debating it and feminists would be up in arms..What a disgraceful bigoted ,male bashing culture we now live in, no doubt it must destroy the confidence of young boys watching..But who cares about them eh? they fall ever further behind in schools and educattion and young men earn way less than young women on average and of course male suicides are 4 times the rate and womens mental health gets over 10 times as much money spent on it too..The double standards are appalling and this proves yet again feminists do not want equality they want to live by different sets of rules which put womens rights as far more important than mens

Are you kidding me? You are talking about "discrimination against men" while unfortunately, we live in a society where women are considered inferior and have many less opportunities in every single sector? Please stop it, it's ridiculous. This "sexism against males thing" doesn't even exist. You've made it up.

Please speak clearly, I can't understand what you are trying to say. We are not all native English speakers here, you know.

While this tread is a bit of a reach... sexism has negative effects both men and women and just because men's issues are not talked about doesn't mean they don't exist.

Mokka 27-09-2016 06:15 PM

Yes....I am sure LT and the truth agree...that product advertising, marketing and labeling should all remain gender neutral.... and gender bias either way should end

... and there are still many many many misogynists.

I have seen YouTube comments like "Women should just cook and do the housework. The most they can do is give blowjobs, they can't do anything better."

This type of comments get posted nowadays. Yes, that's right. In 2016.

these adverts have really challenged my security as a self-identified male, thanks for bringing it up

The BonMarche one is really stupid though.

Yes I am 100% deadly serious, men are more discriminated against in british society than women. Women get 10 times more money spent on their health, men commit suicide at 4 times the rate, men die younger by 5 years across the entire western world, almost 50% of men grow up fatherless, fathers lose custody in over 80% of divorce cases, and over 80% lose their homes too, boys are light years behind girls at every level of education and women under 30 earn considerably more on average than men...This casual misandry such as this advert actually advocates violence against men. More mothers than fathers are violently abusive to their children. This is simply not reported onn mainstream news anymore because the rise of fascist feminism which basically disables all free speech that involves criticizing the fmeinist agenda.

Northern Monkey 27-09-2016 09:56 PM

I agree with the Truth.If we are going to allow violence against men in advertising then we need more violence against women too.Or better still no violence against anyone.There's a novel idea

no violence against anyone, amen

Vicky. 27-09-2016 10:07 PM

I agree with the OP. The violence ad especially is horrific. You speak of feminists though...getting ads banned and such. Can I ask one thing? Why do you expect feminists (who are mainly about womens rights) to stand up for men? In theory I agree that fighting for equality in general is the way forward, but surely there should be men standing up for themselves rather than expecting women to do it...if that makes sense? Why is there no male' equivalent of feminists? You could maybe start off such a movement, given your dedication to pointing out how males are disadvantaged?

Shaun 27-09-2016 10:08 PM

You're looking for the "Meninist" movement, Vicky, and it's a desperately sad bunch of morons.

Oh it does exist? Have never heard of them. Clearly don't work as hard as feminists do on womens issues then?

"Feminists" are about gender equality.

Firewire 27-09-2016 10:10 PM

No because "meninism" is a farce. I'm sure the truth sees himself as one.

Marsh. 27-09-2016 10:12 PM

The way the OP worded it I expected a wife to be beating her husband within an inch of his life.

The Bonmarche ad is bloody awful but "violence against men" please. If you want to be taken seriously try finding some actual examples instead of this nitpicking crap.

And the second example is stereotypical to both sexes. The man burping, lazy and childish. The woman a harridan, constantly cleaning and hard done by. It works both ways.

Stop trying to make "Middle Class White Straight Male Lives Matter" happen.

Maybe. I do feel feminists would fight a hell of a lot harder for something that effects women though. But apparently these days women are equal, if not moreso than poor men?

I shall remember this the next time some loser pinches my arse just because I happen to be wearing tight trousers..or assumes I am dumb because I do not possess a penis. Or talks over me. And so on. I should feel lucky I guess.

men arent allowed to speak on these matters simple. if they do they lose their jobs and get smeared and and slandered. The culture is now obscenely biased towards women
