London mayor bans "body shaming" advertising (that depicts revealing women)

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

This type of feminist policymaking is very stupid. Why target the symptoms of gender inequality using ineffectual policy tools that will accomplish nothing other than pissing everyone off? "Body shaming" will proceed, as it always has, whether or not there are adverts depicting unrealistic beauty standards; adverts use these beauty standards because, in large part, they're already present in society.

However, I have no time for people who don't think that "body shaming" is a problem. Maybe they haven't spent a lot of time with women because they are virgins but, as a matter of fact, a number of pathologies associated with body shaming are major problems for women. Men can't wrap their heads around "anorexia" or whatever because we aren't subject to strict standards. I suggest that you make an effort to understand this stuff though.
