And it just gets more ridiculous ….
“The ad presented gender stereotypes in way that was likely to cause harm.”

A Volkswagen commercial has been banned in the UK for violating “gender stereotypes” because it showed a woman caring for a baby.
Yes, really.
The ad shows a scene of a woman and a man in a tent on a cliff face, two male astronauts floating in a spaceship and a male para-athlete with a prosthetic leg doing the long jump.
At the end of the clip, a woman is seen sat on a bench next to a pram.

The other arch-trauma involved a kombi.
A pox on both their houses. Let them drive Ladas.

LOL LOL well thanks for sharing that traumatic experience. Great tho isn’t it? Suddenly they are onto gender like as if they REALLY care … it’s the transgender agenda in reality.

how horribly stereotypical
and they don’t care
because they don;t feel
because if they did, they couldn’t cope with the huge stress of competing with other psychopaths trying to rule the world
so they abuse their own children to cauterise their feelings
