    An ad showed a girl growing up to be a ballerina and a boy becoming a mathematician. Britain decided it had enough.http://nyti.ms/2trj0z1

        I've read it. But the headlines or the 'public' outrage never focus on that, it's always about those poor little (& big) girls identities.

        Kids are the most malleable. Agree that the headline isn't the best, but even the bumbling father affects kids, forming their view of men.

        Trying to stop sexist ads filled with stereotypes and "body shaming" will not prevent other problems from being solved simultaneously

        My Lord! They are just saying that it's also ok for a male to be a ballerina and a female to be a mathematician. Not pc, just correct.

        How about, mechanics only being represented as male, or men as idiots when it comes to household work or kids? Just two examples.

        No, advertising standards agency acting on complaints from the public using its power to affect adverts. No free speech has been lost

        What about the right of the advertiser? Aren't they being told what they can or can't say? Their freedom of expression being limited?

        Not really. They're being asked to be more inclusive. It's an extraordinary stretch to call advertising "expression" or call it free speech

        It's easy to view censorship narrowly in only it's present context which may seem perfectly reasonable

        This is hardly censorship. The ASA has been acting on public request for decades against con-artistry. I'd say preventing lying ads is good
