"Its for Women" adverts.

As an active board poster I find this company's advertisements sexist.

littlevillage

That's meant as a joke, if a girl tries to buy a yorkie, it's not twice the price a guy pays......even for fat girls.

If anything these ads risk treating women as morons. The company cannot legally deny men the same quote. For that reason I'm surprised they are allowed the advert.

Just did a look up of MCL insurance, and all three company directors are ... men

Realt Dearg Sec

More faux outrage from the triggered snowflakes, amirite?

(Sorry wait, does whinging about trivial ****e only count as faux outrage when lefty eejits do it?)

Aren't ads on Boards powered by Google, so they're target driven based on your browsing history.

Like, right now I see an ad for motorbike helmets.

They say that but I actually have no intention of buying a Donald Trump shaped dildo.

active ? 450 posts in 10 years ?

The only ads I see are all for motorbike gear. That is probably because I bought a load of summer gear and the nsa tracked me with backtraces and the like. At first i was against targeted ads but I got nice pair of gloves because of them.

All I see are ads for 'It's 4 Women'.

This leads me to think it's an company run by four women providing insurance for all.

If you don't want to see the advert then report the said advert when you close it. So now that's dealt with can we move along to something fun?

No, your number will increase every time you post.

As far as I know posts in the Puzzles & Quizzes forum, and The Cuckoos Nest don't count towards total postcount

This thread has hit a very random tangent.

Why are some men intent on emulating the whingier elements of feminism, except for men’s rights?

I believe #notallmen is the correct response to this, yes?

Don't know what tall men have to do with anything or why they are being discriminated against, but that's another day's work.
