I saw an advert at the cinema on 9 June 2018 for Open University courses. They were being promoted on the potential benefits to your career. This included the line that as a result of being on an OU course, “Mark got s pay rise, Phil got a promotion and Sam impressed her boss”. (I may not have got the names 100% correct, but the main wording is as stated.). The implication was that the men got ACTUAL rewards in their careers, but the poor girl Sam was sidelined and just got a pat on the head. Ok, they did have a pic of a woman labelled as a physicist, but dear God, the OU really aren’t getting the message, and this ad is so wide of the mark, so patronising, so insulting, and so bloody ignorant!! Their women’s studies course must be rubbish if they can put out crap like this. Morons!
