Sadiq Khan to ban "body shaming" adverts from London Transport

No it doesn't. I see sexy men in ads and it doesn't create misandry because I don't have that shape, even if it does make people want that. People don't just spontaneously hate men because of the ads.

Well that's not how women see it and that's not what's happening. It is creating misogyny.

So you don't mind having a pot belly? Suit yourself. Personally ads do pressure me to work out even though im not overweight. And I know a lot of women do perceive the 6 pack or something as the personal shape.

I don't understand how that makes it an issue with Muslims. Is everything Boris did as mayor because of Christians?

Do you even know what mysogyny is? I don't hate women because women are attractive in ads, not even at a subconcious level.

Hey, you have two options:

1) Work out
2) Don't

Who knows, even the first option may do you some good.

It is not society's job to change because you find something unpleasant.

It's not creating misogyny towards all women but towards women who don't have that perfect body shape. The social perception. My bad for assuming you have some common sense.

Then it isn't mysogyny is it? Hating a woman != Hating women. Not all women are fat.

Misogyny isn't hate against ALL women. It's just women. Even if one woman is hated because of her gender, it's misogyny.

"dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women."

How exactly does an ad make me hate a woman based off of the fact she is a woman? Because she's fat and women aren't supposed to? How does one ad promote that?

You're spinning it in circles now. Read my original reply where i answered this.

No, you are. What makes you think he's putting his Islamic views into practise? He's not even very religious.

There's plenty of non muslims who advocate these laws, why are you prejudicing Mr Khan for? It's disgusting and frankly the posts you make are abhorrent and you're the epitome of a racist, uneducated and bigoted pleb.

Ok, lets address this piece by piece then:

"Well it's not just fat people. Personally i think it's one of the only things feminists are right about. Ads like theses give a social perception of women and they are expected to conform to it"

How exactly? Because one ad tells a woman to lose weight suddenly everyone hates the woman who doesn't?

"as well as creating misogyny amongst men when a woman does not have the ideal body shape."

Again, where is your proof?

It's the picture mate. The picture depicts an idealistic image of women.

How can you quantify a qualitative statement that can only be backed up by basic intuition? But as you wish: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/local-lifestyle/young-women-girls-under-more-3209721#iI2iymlEFX6HcJZk.97

Name calling and assaults on my character, is it possible for you to make a post addressing my position without doing this ?

With this act you would try to insult my intelligence, it's terribly ironic.
I would ask you an earnest question, and I want you to think about seriously.

Do stupid people know that they are stupid ?

I find it's very rare, what tends to be the case is that they go around insulting others, believing that people who disagree with them or don't share their opinions are stupid. Indeed, they go around with the preconception that everybody else is the problem.

In response to your query, I never said this was some underhanded attempt to enforce Sharia, I said the wording he used was ominous and vague. I also said that it was very coincidental that a person from a group renowned for their intolerance of others has begun censoring imagery for the rest of us.

Think about your inability to dissect and comprehend my post, your reaction, to start calling me names, and ask yourself that question again. Ask yourself if this is the way an enlightened person would carry themselves in a conversation, or, is this the way an uneducated pleb would respond. Ironic, I think so anyway.

Get a grip, why must you assume everything is associated to his religion? He's trying to sort things out that loads of people complain out LIKE body shaming so give him credit where it's due and stop trying to bring religion into everything.

No, that's not how it works. Extraordinary claims require evidence. It is not an axiomatic statement you have made, and hence you need proof.


Hahaha that is some stupid proof. So women feeling bad suddenly means that people hate women for their weight?

Perceptions aren't reality.

My bad, i just assumed you had some basic inference skills and some common sense. The article proves everything.
