My final question is about advertising. There is a daily advertisement on the television that particularly annoys me, but I will not mention the brand. It is where the mother and child are doing stuff and the husband or partner comes over with an iPad and tells them to use it, rather than the post-its and paper. She gets her revenge at the end of the advertisement, if the witnesses are familiar with it. Is there subliminal or other advertising in our daily lives that condones the domestic and-or sexual behaviour of men?
