Sweden wants banning advertising containing sexist content

Sweden, the most liberal country in the world, should ban all advertising that could be considered sexist, according to a government-commissioned report published last week.
In the report, special government rapporteur Eva-Maria Svensson suggested the creation of a law “banning advertising containing sexist content.”
Sexist advertising is defined in the report as any message distributed “with a commercial aim” that can be “construed as offensive to women or men.”
