To think the 'Disrespect NoBody' ad campaign is horribly sexist?

Not sure if this has already been discussed but has anybody else seen the 'Disrespect NoBody' TV adverts that are supposedly raising awareness for healthy relationships and domestic violence?

Every single scenario in the advert is targeted at men abusing women whether it be physically or emotionally. Y'know because men are never victims?

If it's not too patronising to say, Posie, I think your floors are what make you what you are, poorly-paid job or not. I applause you.

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 03/03/2016 22:01

On to the silly points, yes, these are MY facts, I'm saying them. I didn't conduct the study, would you rather focus on this than my facts? I think that shows the floor in your own argument. No.. When I state a fact, it is my job to back it up. When I do so, with credible facts, and you decide to disprove what I say, under the law it is your responcibilty to disprove what I say. There's a word for this, but forgive me, I don't remember it.

zigoow, you have got to be kidding with that last post. It's incoherent - have you been at the rum?

Yes, we'd like you back up what you're saying with sources (credible ones, not a voice for men) - so go on.

(I have rather nice stripped wooden floors).

What an absolute load of nonsense. I will not accept your "facts" are true unless you provide me with a reputable source. Since you haven't I suspect, like 63% of all statistics, they are made up.

Posie, I like you floor-cats. And the luminous trainers Grin

Full time mum a low paid job really ?

Well I never Shock I want 18 months of back pay obviously won't be much but I wasn't aware I got paid at all

Zigoow · 03/03/2016 22:24

Firstly, if a woman sued her employer for paying her less than her male counterpart then she would win the court case due to the equal gender act.

Secondly, when someone with any level of education or willingness to debate reasonably shows up feel free to make a point I can respond to. Telling me about your mothers neighbours dogs girlfriends aunts owners chicken suppliers ex best friend from colleges abusive boyfriend frankly means nothing. Not one of you has used facts in your arguments. Not one of you have answered my questions. Not one of you has a leg to stand on outside of this jerk circle of women.

SpeakNoWords · 03/03/2016 22:26

Goodness me, you're persuasive when riled, Zigoow.

I think that Posie's approach to dealing with someone who wants to disrupt and not engage is probably the best plan here.

PurpleDaisies · 03/03/2016 22:27

Not one of you has used facts in your arguments.

What about a source for your "facts" stated earlier?

Women are twice as likely as men to be imprisoned for a first offence

Yes but people don't often discuss what they earn with their colleagues do they

And a little change of job description keeps companies safe from being accused of discrimination

It's like fish in a barrel, I just can't.

When I do so, with credible facts, and you decide to disprove what I say, under the law it is your responcibilty to disprove what I say.

The law? Under the law? 😂😂😂😂
Well I ain't doin' it. Sue me. But I'll warn you, 97% of Internet law suits against women fail.
It's a conspiracy against men you see. 89% of middle aged 'fucking idiots' are in on it, but only 74% of 'utter cunts' and 'modern bitch feminists'

Posie your floors are amaze. And your cats.

In other news, 100% of the male posters on this thread have been misogynistic and abusive to the women on this thread. Whilst trying to disprove male abuse against women.

Now THAT one is verifiable.

Anyone else have any stats to add?

She was discussing DA against women. We were talking about it before you showed up to share your manly wisdom.
