They’ve just been discussing this on BBC news with Jess Tye from the ASA and I can see that there was just no winning with this and the VW ad. Both parents will still do these roles but we are getting to the point where we can only show men cleaning and women fixing cars (and have I just stood in it by suggesting this?). I’d like to see what others opinions are on this in the real world.

JT:Showing hapless dads is stereotype- BBC: [Philadelphia] chose men so that we didn’t show mums caring for the children. What’s the harm of using the hapless dad character for a bit of humour in the same way a comedy show would.

JT: Lady reading a book with pram is stereotype esp when men appear elsewhere in ad- BBC: [VW] chose this to show that looking after a child isn’t always stressful. If they had put a man in that spot I’m sure there would have been complaints about an all men ad.

Good. When they announced that they’d be banning negative stereotypes there was backlash on here but I hope those people see that it’s a positive step. It’s not that it’s offensive per se, it’s that it feeds into people’s internal beliefs that men are not capable parents which they absolutely are

It's humorous.. let's not turn into feminists by being offended at everything. It pales in comparison to the Gillet ad those fuckers not getting another cent out of me.

The companies that do this need to be punished hard financially.

Drive them into bankruptcy then they'll learn.
