Sweden’s ads ombudsman say “distracted boyfriend” meme is gender discrimination
- justtopost 8y agoSo sexual attraction is sexist. Who whould have thought. This is a race to the bottom.
- rebornshellfish 8y agoRather, men who judge women predominantly based on physical appearance (as in this meme) are acting nihilistically and distorting the social incentives experienced by women. It's the use of social rewards and punishments to train women into caring about nothing except their looks, which crowds out other values. The underrepresentation of women in tech (and overrepresentation in, say, fashion and cosmetics) is directly related to this.
- mayankkaizen 8y agoAre you trying to say that women using hundred shades of lipstick, being far more fashion conscious, wearing mini skirts and things like that are results of men 'forcing' them to do so? Are you implying that men deliberately and consciously treat women predominantly as sex objects? May be there is some evolutionary psychology stuff is at play?
- brogrammer5 8y agoSorry, but you can't fight nature. You can try and try but sexual selection is real.
- rebornshellfish 8y agoIt seems like Sweden is leading the way in creating an inclusive and fair society, a model for the whole world.
- Fjolsvith 8y agoI'd have thought that said about China.
- throwaway5250 8y agoGood grief. Laugh--it's funny!
- itry2develop 8y agoSweden will be spoken of like Atlantis. A mythical former civilization which succumb to a wave of migrants after destructive shaking progressivism.
- Nomentatus 8y agoIt certainly is discrimination if women are just as likely to get distracted by handsome men while with their other AND show it. In which case shame on us for stereotyping men as being more easily distracted by the opposite sex and being less discreet about it. But does anyone believe those two things? Even so, I would love to see the same meme but with the sexes reversed. It might not be realistic, but it would be funny.
- DevoidSimo 8y agoThe image at least does exist, even with the same woman. https://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/309/021/298.jpg https://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/309/021/29...
- kolopende 8y agoSweden is such a weird country. I don’t think there are actually any Homo sapiens living there.
