Leftist women are out to castrate all males. wakeupmen!

The Swedish ombudsman is memeist 😂

Sweden 😂😂😂

Ha!

Sexist against whom exactly? Because to me it shows a guy behaving like a dick on legs, it's certainly not how I'd like to be portrayed.

Big Brother sure is touchy. 🙄🙄I’ve been a woman for several decades (since birth) and I’m not offended by 1/4 of the things that many now squawk about being “sexist”

They didn’t deem it sexist BEFORE THEY USED IT IN AN AD? Sounds like they’re just mad that their ad campaign sucked

Well, Sweden is a politically correct laughing stock. Even worse than Britain. Things really are insane here (in Sweden) and most of the madness come from the established media. PrisonPlanet GadSaad jordanbpeterson dailyexpressuk

But, Muslim grooming gangs are just normal?

People just need to leave us alone!!

Is this one sexist too?

Swedish advertising watchdog rules that the 'distracted boyfriend' meme is sexistThe 'distracted boyfriend' meme is perhaps one of the internet's most sensational successes - it's everywhere, and used to illustrate things from Brexit to erm, the latest meme trend. Meta. Anyway, now, the Swedish advertising ombudsman, RO, has criticised a Stockholm company for sexism after it used the famous meme alongside a recruitment advert. The meme shows an appalled girlfriend looking at her distracted boyfriend, as he admires another woman who is walking past. If you changed the sexes, it would definitely be seen by some as some psycho wife-beater who is a control freak. Basically, it's will be the male at fault (again!) It really does cast men in a stereotypical, outdated role. I finally feel woke.
