Another small win for men in New Zealand.

I have often written to the Australian TV advertising standards board over similar adverts, but they often write it off the violence as a joke.

I can't count how many movies I've seen where the woman slaps her partner during an argument and it's considered "feisty" and "sassy"

I am surprised the misandrist women’s groups didn’t get it banned because they claim it’s only men who are violent in New Zealand.

It shows a level of abuse that would not be acceptable if the genders were reversed: women seem to want raised voices of men being considered as abuse.

Would have been better if the advert had showed the man phoning the police and the woman being carted away with both subsequently taking separate trips. It's amazing how we refuse to consider options that are win-win instead of win-lose or lose-lose in resolution of arguments.

These examples are still rife and it doesn't help to simply sweep them under the rug if we believe in equality. It's not acceptable for either party to resort to abuse when there is a disagreement.

I don't know how many times I've heard.. "oh you're a man you'll be alright"

Hmm ok.. so I can just be hit by my (ex) gf? Women's logic seems to think it's ok. Such a flawed logic from women when the shoe in on the other foot. They only see it one sided.

It's sad that it even had to come to that tbh.

lol imagine if the roles were reversed

Here is the full decision from the ASA if you are intersted.

Small but necesseray and insufficient.

My country!

That is good news. It's good that Instant Finance realises the double standards and wishes not to promote domestic violence against men.

If you can't bring yourself to portray a man hitting a woman, then it should be the same for when a woman hits a man.

The similar situation was happened in India when a wall paint manufacturer had to remove a scene of slap to men by the protagonist wife..

Seems Perfectly Reasonable to me

ZS_1171 · 2021-04-18T20:13:27+00:00

good news. NZ knows whats up

SubzeroPrunusPersica · 2021-04-19T02:31:38+00:00

Just posted this on Facebook. See how many "friends" I lose in the next 30 minutes...

The complainants were concerned it showed a level of violence that would not be acceptable if the genders were reversed.

I'm still disappointed, because the above argument refuses to recognize that it is just as unacceptable with the man hitting the woman. It actually ignores the violence against the man, and instead makes it all about violence about women.

Put another way, if a woman hits a man, then the woman hitting the man is not a problem we need to talk about. Instead, it should become an opportunity to talk about violence against women.

This attitude facilitates violence against men.

SubzeroPrunusPersica · 2021-04-19T02:20:17+00:00

So many shows, movies, and commercials glorify female against male violence these days. It's almost impossible to interact with any type of media without getting a dose of it.

NoGardE · 2021-04-18T13:33:42+00:00

I have a hard time celebrating anything for NZ, considering you've descended into a fascist totalitarian state under Ardern.

Stoicism1981 · 2021-04-18T10:34:03+00:00

Actually in nature some female species can be quite violent and vicious. Have you seen the damn female preying mantis eating males? That was the most disturbing and horrifying moment I have seen. 🙈

realister · 2021-04-18T14:50:31+00:00

NZ is a quasi fascist state now

pavlikmmm · 2021-04-18T22:16:41+00:00

Guys, more censorship ,even if its directed at socially detrimenting things, is not a cause for celebration, the same mechanisms can be used to censor literally anything that modern day snowflake society sees as inappropriate

Besides leave the asking persons in power for protection for chicks, we figth with reason, will and balls of steel
