Well that's the straw which broke the camels back

I'm now fully converted. If you can't beat 'em join 'em

This weekend the mrs will be cutting the grass and cleaning the car whilst I play with the kids all day. Then on Sunday, I'll cook the dinner and she can remove the understairs door and plaster the wall. Epic!

Will sure be a nice relaxing weekend for me.

They're not prescribing how to manage your household. They're prescribing how businesses advertise their junk.

You carry on swilling beer, tossing peanuts into your stubbly face, whilst lounging in your comfy chair and scratching your balls. Be the man you always wanted to be.

Carry on? I think you missed my point

It will be her swilling beer and eating peanuts surely
 
Jesus ******* christ how is this all escalating so fast? This garbage has only just been taken seriously by a select few individuals, and already infrastructure, media, and the government is on board?
 
Hopefully this is just a Matrix-style Neo cycle, and we'll be back to Alf Garnett calling people darkies* and other worse words on TV before we know it.

*i actually hope we dont regress that far

Sounds like you had it pretty easy and relaxing the first time anyway, I'd much prefer to cut the grass and clean the car than entertain the kids all day!

This is not akin to babies being born without gender, this it a continuation of changes such as women being allowed to serve on the front lines. This has been a long time coming and isn't a surprise in the slightest.

You can't seriously say that through gender equality, you expected a complete removal of gender sterotypes, and even a genderless gender?
Even if you did, that baby was only recently born and further shows how quickly this is all moving.

Yes women can now become front line troops. But do you know how many have actually got there? Less than a handful. After all the rukus there has hardly been any applications and many don't pass the physical challenge (which is exactly the same for men and woman, equality right).

because the minorities are always the ones to shout the loudest

tbh, i don't like this, but at the same time i take as many steps as i am able to rid my life of the plague that is excessive advertising, so it won't affect me that much.
 
This all started a long time ago. Hopefully medical science will evolve enough so men can have babies

I'm outraged at adverts such as this

Clearly the physical challenge is biased against females and the standard should be lowered rectified. :rolleyes: ;)

You can bet there will be people trying to do it. Even though male bodies are in no way suitable to grow a baby. They will still act shocked when it pops out all messed up.
