Should gender stereotypes be banned in commercials?
The UK's Advertising Standards Authority, which plays a big role in regulating the industry, is adopting a tough stance against commercials that feature common sexist stereotypes.
The ASA wants to consign gender stereotypes to history and discourage advertisements like those that feature a woman as the only family member responsible for cleaning, or a man failing to complete a household chore.
Ali Hanan, the chief executive of Creative Equals, says advertisements influence society so they must change.
