As far as sexism being removed from advertising is concerned... how would anyone sell anything? I mean, sex doesn't just sell, it's the only thing that does sell! (I am not being ironic here.) This idea goes against human nature. Is it sexist for hot chicks to wear skimpy outfits? Could they get a fine?

Anyways, here's the reason they'll never win:

The article wrote:


The insurance industry, which would be banned from using gender in setting premiums and annuities, is also lobbying against the plan.


The insurance industry never loses this fight. Insurance actuaries can and will explain to you for hours, days, weeks if necessary, why "discriminating" between genders, ages, and economic strata are good for the populace as a whole and actually helps keep premiums down. The anti-discrimination lawyers don't hae a chance.
