to think the new ASDA advert is the biggest pile of sexist crap in a long time

[MaureenLove]

to think its trying to APPEAL to women? dur!

maybe its the asda shoppers who aspire to be drudges squoosh

I think Christmas is actually way worse than that in many homes

Especially ones where the DH is such a lazy arse - And the family dynamics are so crap.

Isabelle - an advert that endorses sexist attitudes shouldn't be allowed even if "life is like that" for some.

you wouldn't allow lazy racial steroptypes ( ie black men are good dancers) as some of them might do a snazzy Cha cha cha

This has just happened to a friend of mine - went in to hospital for an op, her Dh is completely unable to cook or organise the kids and she ended up having friends take food round every day while she recovered.

I don't want to be that person and even worse, don't want DP and the Dc thinking it will all be down to me and that I'm not up to scratch unless I do all that.
Thing is, I can see that it will be down to me, or things just don't happen.

Crock of shite, whatever way you look at it.

oops, kept getting gobbledygook when tried to post! Oh well, so good I said it thrice!

Ha! I liked the advert and am also a drudge!

Turns out I LOVE being a drudge, who knew?!

Thing is I'm happy as are my family so it works for us.

Big Fail on the part of ASDA to come up with such unmitigated shite.

However, this is not the only crap ad out there. Have any of you yet seen the Tescos ad featuring the woman in one of their stores and the Furby which is singing along to Hello by Lionel Ritchie?.

It gave me RAGE

People saying 'thats what life is like' should a) take a look at themselves and their family and b) realise that adverts are meant to be aspirational, not depressing

God that woman's life is awful.

the women who love it are martyrs.
they will be on here in a few years time when their kids are teenagers moaning about being everyones slave

Now hang on, the singing Furby is a genius piece of marketing.

My DH doesn't have a lazy bone in his body. I love preparing for Christmas. It's my favourite time of the year actually. Yes, it's really busy, but I love it.

We have clearly defined roles in our family unit. It works really well for us. Everybody's happy.

Please don't feel angry on my behalf.

Agree so much sexist shit on TV. Was channel flicking last night and happened upon Mock the Week had never seen it before. Basically it seemed to be 6 men making grim misogynistic jokes - I felt really uncomfortable witnessing it in my own sitting room - if I had been sitting in a pub next to such people I would have moved. One guy (deeply unattractive) did a bit about how men didnt fancy strong women only fancying those who were messed up by their fathers as they were "dirtier in bed". Then went on to say how he felt watching the womens 100 metres "do her, never, maybe from behind". Bloody awful and it was only about 9pm. No wonder teenage girls struggle if this vileness is promoted as the norm . Couldnt help but think if such "jokes" were made about people of a particular colour or race it wouldnt (rightly) be allowed on TV but women are fair game. Sorry rant over!

Jesus christ, and she doesn't even have a proper chair at lunch time!

That advert is abominable.

thats tesco!

theres a difference between loving it and being someones drudge

Talking of crap ads, how about this one by Tescos:-

You will be seeing more of it no doubt in the run up to the Festive Season.

How are you being a martyr to do stuff you enjoy?! Without any "oh woe is me.."

You can still do Christmas and run a house without being a slave. I don't think thats what the advert shows, it's only showing it from the mum's perspective - the DC's/DH may have been busy with other stuff.

Is it not depressing to overthink everything?

i odnt mind the furby one but i would SO SO LOVE someone to change it to a big pink dildo

Sorry - x-posted!

It's hardly overthinking if it's already been thought out by Saatchi and Saatchi and the Asda Executives on our behalfs

She is standing up dishing vegetables onto his plate FFS! How could they come up with such shite?
