Maybe it's time we went over there and made England a colony of the United States? Big Grin

It's not like the population has any way to fight off an invasion, and we'd be doing them a favor with our laws and Constitution.

Here is the thing about "gender stereotypes."

They aren't stereotypes, people are naturally compelled to behave in a certain way, dress a certain way, etc.

Let's be perfectly clear. If being gay or trans or any flavor of LGBTQ is natural and not abhorrent, but being naturally straight and compelled toward normal gender roles is now bad, that is insanity.

You can't spend all kinds of time insisting an abnormal behavior is natural, to turn around and push out normal behavior, you're breaking your own rules. Particularly about letting people exist how they want to exist, etc.

Gender Roles and Gender Identity are very important. They give guidelines on how society works. Children, particularly, need to learn these rules and structure so they begin to understand how to operate in society. Even kids who one day may decide they don't fit the mold need to first know where the edges are.

Sorry, Leftists. We'll always need men to do the heavy lifting, and if the goal is to slowly cripple how men develop in society, nature will at some point issue a bloody correction.

It confounds me that these small, minority groups are able to have such a large negative impact - through political correctness and progressive politicians - on the lives of the MAJORITY.

Idiotic. You would think that everone is transgender, queer or some shit based on the sheer volume of news, ads, and TV programs pushing them and their lifestyle as "normal". Regards 18DAI

I'd say that there are groups who want to destroy western society who are happy to use the excuse of tolerance, inclusion, etc... Then make being normal verbotten.

It's not surprising even predictable.
We are in a transition of normal traditional behavior (hetrosexual) and roles to the diminishing of any difference of gender.
Next will be the inclusion of all species and elimination of age restrictions.
Maybe not today, or tomorrow but it will eventually get there. Frown
Additionally, traditional roles will be completely eliminated and even penalized.
We are seeing that already.

I totally agree and confused on how the minority is ruling ....
"Emotions" over mentality. Balance is not being sought ....

This old chestnut makes it difficult to take someone seriously. If we're to all to get together and stand up for normal heterosexual behavior, can we skip the "slippery slope" and doom-saying nonsense about how it's all bestiality and pedophiles in the future? It's exhausting.

No, he will be portrayed as the intolerant asshole...especially if he openly identifies as a Wrangler jeans and work boot wearing, gun collecting, pick up truck driving heterosexual and homophobic breeder.

Totally disagree arc. I don’t know about bestiality but totally agree on the age issue. Age of consent is merely a social construct. It has been fluid through history and if you don’t think this “movement” will attempt to normalize sexual relationships with younger than current norms, I will take that bet. There already is a societal bend to overlook statutory rape involving underage males. This current agenda will attempt to formalize and strengthen the ability to do so unhampered by current restrictions. He’s not so far off base as you think.

Not now but it will eventually happen.
Mock it all you want but at some point it will change.
It wasn't that long ago it was accepted that a man is a man, a woman is a woman and now?

Listen.

You sound like a nut, and suck energy from what is actually important, when you bring up the pedos and bestiality. All kinds of things are possible if men can't be men anymore, nobody needs a list.

Also, you sound like you believe it could possibly happen, so you've already lost. So we don't need your negative waves.

Pedophilia and Bestiality will never be socially acceptable. It is unnecessary and distracting to give any airtime to those people.

The lynchpin, is traditional gender roles. If these are eroded, well it doesn't matter if people are fucking animals or kids because the foundation of society is gone.

Masculinity is important in a whole host of ways, because it does many things Femininity cannot and will not do. We need both of these things to exist as humans, because it's part of being human, and something that has been a part of the functioning of the world, forever.

There are some people who don't conform to gender roles. Those people are being used by others who wish to destroy America, if not western civilization as we know it. You can construct a very strong argument for traditional gender roles without saying "because pedos."

Nature always wins. Always. Physical species - and sexes - developed over millennia on this planet for a reason. That humans now have the safety and leisure to play mental games with reality is only an accident of time, does not change the character of that reality, and is temporary and self-limiting. There is no good or evil in Nature - only consequences.

No doubt!

It sounds to me like just another example of too much bureaucracy.
Eventually, governments collapse under the weight of all their own crap, or (CRAP) :


The Committees of Advertising Practice (CAP) -- the United Kingdom's advertising regulatory agency -- enacted a rule Friday prohibiting ads from employing gender stereotypes that were "harmful" or implied only one gender engaged in particular activities.

The regulation, announced in December, took effect on Friday and gave the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) the ability to review ads for objectionable gender-based stereotypes. The ASA prompted the regulation after conducting a study in which it concluded stereotypes could "restrict" people's choices and prevent them from "fulfilling their potential," according to the BBC.

A Message from IMAG!NE™
Imagine what snacks can be!

Wholesome foods like real yogurt, fruit, and cheese made portable, tasty, & fun. Neat, huh?

British broadcasters are bound by the terms of their licenses to comply with the agency's rulings.

According to the ASA's announcement, the rule wouldn't prevent ads featuring only one gender, a woman doing the shopping, attractive people or lifestyles, or the use of gender stereotypes in order to "challenge their negative effects."

ZOE SALDANA AND HUSBAND KEEPING HOME GENDER NEUTRAL FOR THEIR THREE SONS

It's likely to censor content that emphasizes distinctions between boys' and girls' stereotypical personalities (daring versus caring), belittles men for engaging in stereotypically female activities or suggests women are solely responsible for cleaning houses.

"There is significant evidence," the agency's report read, "that gender inequality leads to real-world harms for adults and children. These unequal outcomes might affect different people in a variety of practical, social, emotional and economic ways."
The Committees of Advertising Practice (CAP) -- the U.K's advertising regulatory agency -- enacted a rule Friday prohibiting ads from employing gender stereotypes that were "harmful" or implied only one gender engaged in particular activities.

The rule also applied to ads that harped on physical attractiveness and warned against ads that tie physical attractiveness to social and romantic success. "The ad should not imply that their physique is a significant reason for them not being successful, for example in their romantic or social lives," the agency said.

"An ad aimed at new mums which suggests that looking attractive or keeping a home pristine is a priority over other factors such as their emotional well being," another guideline read.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown
