seems I've ruffled a few feathers. I didn't mean to offend just something I was thinking about and wanted others views on it. Soz

I'm just a little confused by the way you keep flipping between "Sadiq Khan is part of a wider conspiracy to impose Islam on Britain" and "most men want women to walk around naked"

You only rambled on about it affecting women more when challenged, I expect you have a poll to back this up. |

Do you think these Muslim extremists practice what they preach and never drink, look at porn or go to sex clubs? It's the old 'some women you marry and some you have fun with' double standard mentality. |

On the male/female thing, I don't think he ever actually singled it out as only being an issue for women, it's just been spun that way in the OP because of the ad that sparked all this. He referred to advertising that can demean people, he's not targeting 'bikini clad women'.

'rambling on' interesting choice of words, you can't argue directly with what I'm saying so you need to discredit it. |

*2016 (the article's ten months old and isn't actually relevant to anything, so why this thread even exists now I don't know)

I think he did tbf, women are the focus of the article and just generally I think because it's more of a common issue for women (and the ad that attracted all the attention and complaints was of a woman), but his comments addressed that it's an issue for everyone.

Again, whilst advertising clearly does play a role in causing body issues for men, if you could find an ad campaign which specifically tells men they're not 'ready' to be on a beach if they're not stick thin then I'd love to see it. If not, then why not just be happy that the Mayor of London did something to prevent advertising promoting body dsysmorphia regardless of gender? Why try to act as if he's doing something wrong? |

I thought the picture of his wife posted only a few posts into this thread would put an end to stupid comments like that, never mind

He never singled out women or said anyone should 'cover up', these are links and assumptions being made because he happens to be muslim, but he's also the mayor of London, and all this is is the mayor reacting to a large number of complaints regarding advertising within their city. Everything else seems to be assumptions that he must really mean something more sinister than what he's saying,

Advertising is more complex than what you think, it's psychological, it's analytical, everything has to be considered and everything has serve a function. To downplay that shows your lack of understanding about what advertising entails. Last edited by Tom4784; 24-03-2017 at 11:59 PM. |

Instead of looking at ads like these to 'shame people', why not look at them as something to admire and maybe create in us a little spark of 'I wouldn't mind looking like that'. Some people need outside stimulus to promote a little ambition and drive within ourselves. Although having said that, most normal, sensible people just look at it, think 'nice' and move on.-
I am so sick of the populace being wrapped in cotton wool and protected from every little thing that might offend them or lower their self esteem. This is what obese people who have no intention of changing their ways rely on, a society that says 'There there, it's not your fault that you have no self control'. |
