They caved to feminist pressure. Period.

At least when the Daily Fail covered the story, they noted that the male version of the ad was being allowed:

A similar advert featuring a female driver and a group of bare-chested, gyrating men, has been watched nearly a million times but received no complaints and is therefore free to continue to be aired, the ASA confirmed.

Heard about this, saw the adds when they were first out, saw the article a couple hours ago. I was wondering if they took down the one with topless men in it but nope, apparently that ones totally fine. I normally ignore MRA stuff since it's normally grasping at straws ^{(Modern feminism does the same thing too though}^), but this actually shows that there is a huge double standard. It shows that it's no longer about equality, but about putting women on a special pedestal and treating them better than men.

I actually came here to post it here, surprised it didn't get much exposure. It's actual proof of discrimination against men. Might post a better source ^{(guardian is being a bit biased here}⁾ to some of the larger subreddits.

I'm surprised nobody has yet observed the fact that the woman physically touches the guy's body. How is this not not a problem?

You'd think they would ban both of the ads since feminists consider male characters with their shirts off to be part of a "male power fantasy" and not male objectification.
