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?

Ridiculing men's rights activists is frankly ridiculous.

You don't write like the first zig Hmm

RufusTheReindeer · 04/03/2016 20:56

Where is the real zig

What did you do with him Hmm

limitedperiodonly · 04/03/2016 20:57

I don't know where you are in the world zigoow but where I am it's Friday night. Haven't you got girls to chat up instead of talking to us?

limitedperiodonly · 04/03/2016 21:03

Hey Ziggoow don't be an MRA loser. Be .

Ladies love that kind of thing. Trust me.

SpeakNoWords · 04/03/2016 21:07

Ah, gone so soon...

limitedperiodonly · 04/03/2016 21:09

I've just noticed that there's an ad for International Women's Day on that video. I love it even more.

That might be a bit too much for you zigoow. Baby steps, now. You can break free.

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 04/03/2016 21:12

Shock is someone impersonating damn-you-autocorrect-zig?

I missed his post. No convents or diversions? No flooring issues?

Did he go full-on MRA - despite not knowing what an MRA is...

I think so, this imposters post was nothing like zigs Sad

It was coherent for a start

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 04/03/2016 21:22

Are they all in the same bedroom do you think? (wallpapered with that Guardian article)

OhShutUpThomas · 04/03/2016 21:23

Nah I think it was the same person.

Wonder how long until zigoow3 appears?

limitedperiodonly · 04/03/2016 21:25

RufusTheReindeer · 04/03/2016 21:28

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 04/03/2016 21:32

Moi?! The Superman underpants? Grin

RufusTheReindeer · 04/03/2016 21:32

Sequels are always shit

Although scream 2 was pretty good Hmm

CrikeyCharlie · 04/03/2016 21:35

Much domestic violence against men is by other men.

PunkrockerGirl · 04/03/2016 21:38

The first Zig is too busy doing his homework at the moment (he's learning spelling and grammar and stuff).
He'll be back later once he's finished his squash and biscuits and his mummy's tucked him up and kissed him goodnight.
Then he'll get down to the business of entertaining us all Grin

RufusTheReindeer · 04/03/2016 21:38

zig3 may be better

BeyondTellsEveryoneRealFacts · 04/03/2016 21:39

Aww, i missed zig2!? :(

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 04/03/2016 21:43

Nah, zig3 will be Return of the Jedi an Ewok

Then zig4 will be the Phantom Menace Shock Scary looking but rubbish.

limitedperiodonly · 04/03/2016 21:44

The Godfather 2 was the best sequel of all time. Fact.

I bet I wouldn't get much disagreement from MRAs there.

RufusTheReindeer · 04/03/2016 21:53

Zig3 is right now brushing up his skills on the MRA site, specifically on the how to be a complete dick section.
To complete the level you must

a) not be able to spell
b) not be able to string a grammatical sentence together
c) believe that all statistics cited on the MRA site are gospel
d) not be able to cope when the above statistics are disproved
e) resort to verbal abuse of women online
f) be one of the precious little lambs that doesn't like women having an opinion about women's rights on account of, you know, being a woman Shock
