I would love to see Mike Tyson identify as a female and fight in a womens Boxing tournament.
I would pay to see him knocking bitches out!
A dude won the Connecticut State Track Meet for girls. Fun to see it in boxing.

Those sexist jerks misgendered the person with the baby. I bet they even called them a "she". So ignorant, learn the person's pronouns. This is the type of hate the non-binary person must deal with on a daily basis.

I like this idea, but only for guys that want to compete as women. "You want to enter the women's weightlifting event as a biological male. Ok, sure. But you need to compete in a women's boxing competition. Oh, and the world heavy champion is identifying as female at the moment and is your first match."
Saying that gender and sex are the same thing is as dumb as banning this commercial. Congrats for meeting those you hate in the middle.

How can anything be stereotypical if gender is a social construct? How do we know what gender anyone is? Maybe the person in the ad was a male.
Great point. The ad wasn't banned for "gender stereotyping", the ad was banned for depicting a mother with child in stroller, in other words a healthy depiction of a normal woman. If the ad were to have depicted trannys or some other sexual/mental dysfunction there would be no issue.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlRUmkqMIe8As the father of a 6-year-old girl, I think it's really important that my daughter sees no limits to her potential in the world, and I applaud efforts to make the world an inclusive place.
So, to test how this ad did in that regard, I showed it to her. She responded "I'm not going to be an astronaut unless they have Nacho Cheese Doritos up there."
I hope that culture warriors will someday see that their hypersensitivity is NOT a good attribute to foster in our children. My wife recently asked my daughter if the Asian woman was at school today. My daughter had no idea what she was talking about. I think it's preferable that kids aren't endlessly classifying everyone and everything. I clarified with my daughter: "That lady that snorts after she accidentally burps."
"Oh THAT lady, why didn't you say so???"

Is gender a social construct or biological?
It seems to me that the definitions these days are that sex is biological (in the large majority of cases it's clear-cut), though that is sometimes under attack, and that gender is a social construct.
But if gender is a social construct it seems to me that the social construct can be wrong, and I see many people fight the stereotypes of men and women. However, it seems to me that those people often say that you can choose your gender and tend to embrace gender fluidity. But if you are biologically a female and like things males stereotypically like, for example, instead of encouraging them to think, "Gee, maybe I'm a boy," why don't we encourage the person to say, "That might be the stereotype, but I'm a girl who likes ___ and I'm proud of it!"
My opinion: Gender is a social construct, but it's (somewhat) based on general rules--stereotypes, at least at times--of what the sexes usually favor, act like, etc. But people forget that there is a ton of overlap and "outliers" are fine. It seems to me so many kids these days think, "I really feel different than anybody else," just like adolescents have thought for generations. But now they have some real question about their identity and some label--"Gee, maybe I'm ____?!" It seems to me that some find it easier to reject their "old" self and embrace "new" self because it feels like a fresh start from the ways they felt bad about themselves. Or perhaps it's feels like they have a reason that things felt so wrong/weird before. Perhaps kids need more reassurance, and to realize that everyone feels weird, awkward, and "different" at times, especially in middle school.
A thousand times yes! As a woman, it drives me crazy when I hear about someone who's decided she is female (transgender woman) because she likes to wear nail polish and makeup and whatnot. Being a woman has nothing to do with these things, in my opinion. Honestly, the main thing that defines MY gender is pregnancy and nursing. Everything else is secondary. I suppose some people would call that sex, not gender, so maybe I'm really a man, since I don't wear nail polish.
The United Nations campaigning organization the “Unstereotype Alliance” welcomed the ASA’s move. “Harmful gender stereotypes have profound consequences. They are behind different forms of discrimination, from limiting women’s leadership roles to reducing their economic opportunity. They underlie significant problems of violence against women,” its Director of Strategic Partnerships Dan Seymour said.

Perfectly said and 100% sums up 1st World society now-a-days. Life is so easy and we're so comfortable that some in society spends a large portion of their day looking for ways to feel aggrieved. We've recently entered the phase of "weak men create hard times" and we'll get well into that phase if the trend continues.
Yes, that's true. But, don't let them win.

Exactly. They are words that can, and must, be used interchangeably.

I had butt gender with your mama.
The commercial was banned by the UK Advertising Standard Authority (ASA) after multiple people complained, with the ASA asserting that it violated gender stereotyping rules.
"Multiple" meaning three (3).
The ad featured two women, if I'm not wrong. One was in the tent next to the guy who zipped the tent close, right at the beginning. The other was sitting on the park bench next to the pram, reading a big fat textbook. Organic chemistry? The suggestion was that she was pulling double weight--caring for the kid while (implicitly) the husband was out conquering the universe even while attending grad school. Boys will be boys; women will figure out how to achieve despite all that.
Seems like a feminist commercial, if you actually pay attention.

A Volkswagen commercial has been banned in the UK for violating “gender stereotypes” because it showed a woman caring for a baby.
The ad shows a scene of a woman and a man in a tent on a cliff face, two male astronauts floating in a spaceship and a male para-athlete with a prosthetic leg doing the long jump.
At the end of the clip, a woman is seen sat on a bench next to a pram.
The commercial was banned by the UK Advertising Standard Authority (ASA) after multiple people complained, with the ASA asserting that it violated gender stereotyping rules.
“By juxtaposing images of men in extraordinary environments and carrying out adventurous activities with women who appeared passive or engaged in a stereotypical care-giving role, we considered that the ad directly contrasted stereotypical male and female roles and characteristics in a manner that gave the impression that they were exclusively associated with one gender,” said the ASA. “We concluded that the ad presented gender stereotypes in way that was likely to cause harm and therefore breached the Code.”
Volkswagen tried to explain the meaning behind the ad, but it was to no avail.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeN77EHdpIwhttps://www.asa.org.uk/rulings/volkswagen-group-uk-ltd-g19-1023922.html“The core message of the ad was centred on the ability of the human spirit to adapt to challenges and change brought about by circumstances. They illustrated that through a number of different scenarios featuring various characters so that as diverse an audience as possible would be able to identify with the message.”
“They included the final scene of the woman in the park as a relatable example of adaptation to change, as they believed that welcoming a newborn into the family was a life changing experience that would be shared by many viewers, regardless of gender. The scene served a secondary purpose of illustrating the reduction of engine noise in an electric vehicle.”
What floors me is that the UK Code Nazis didn't notice, or care, that the only person reading a book in the ad was a woman. She's the only one with a mind. The men are just bodies.
That is a FEMINIST POINT, people!
Shoot me now.

Maybe there was a third one, in the background during the astronauts?
While we noted that a third astronaut appeared in the background, the image was very brief and not prominent. We considered that many viewers would not notice the presence of a third person, and if they did, the image was insufficiently clear to distinguish their gender.
Actually, I'm wrong about that. The man in the tent is reading a book while his female companion is drowsing. (He's conscious, she's not.). In the world of cultural studies, we would notice that the narrative line of the commercial moves the book reading function from the man to the woman. At the end, she is the woke one.
Please note: the commercial doesn't make clear who is driving the car that passes the woman on the bench. There is no reasons to think that it's a man.
