I find this disgusting. I couldn't really care less what advertisers put out, but banning messages simply because they don't conform to the current political winds is troubling.
Could not agree more. What I find odd is that this is how most of the people are I come into contact with. Most women I know, including my wife, desire the stereotypical life. She wants to stay at home while I work. It's not like any of our 'roles' are set in stone it is just how things happened. The few friends I still have are in similar positions with their spouses.
One could argue that this perspective is essentially drilled into them (and likewise men for the stereotypical man things) from a very young age because we/they are surrounded by media, advertising, and humans that reinforce these desires and discourage others.
I wonder if all these politically correct apparatchiks realise that they're creating the roots of their own downfall by attempting to control as much of public life as possible. When the political winds change - which they always do - those in opposition to the current wave of post-modernism will find everything ready to banish them and their ideology to the darkest corners of oblivion. Any complaints from their side will easily be taken care of as they did exactly the same to their opponents.
Also, anyone in favour of these gender-related shenanigans should do a bit more study on the subject. Not a
study of the latest fluff piece by the local gender faculty, please. The Norwegian 'Hjernevask' ('Brainwash') [1] series is a good introduction, all 7 episodes are freely available. After the series was aired in Norway the Nordic Council of Ministers closed down the Nordic Gender Institute.
