Coronavirus: Government withdraws 'sexist' Stay Home advert

The government has withdrawn a social media advert urging people to Stay Home. Save Lives after it was criticised for stereotyping women.

The image showed women home schooling children and doing domestic chores, while the only man featured was depicted relaxing on a sofa.

The infographic was withdrawn after going viral on social media and facing criticism for being sexist.

This is absolutely ridiculous.  Some people apparently have too much free time on their hands at the moment.  Surely the main message of this infographic is the important bit?

Here's a suggestion to appease the politically correct thought police.  Why not change them to multi-coloured featureless blobs.  Any colour except black that is!
