1. That is hillarious.
:rofl:

It would be very, very interesting if men's products were advertized the same way as women's products. I think a whole lot of men would have culture shock.

2. And how!
It's beyond my comprehension. I despise how the advertising industry infantilizes women.

5. Infantalizes while simultaneously making us filthy...
...so dirty and foul smelling, and overwhelmed with leakage we can't stand to be with ourselves--unless of course we get their products. :eyes:

I won't even start on the one's that assume we are all obsessed with our size and shape (i.e. girdles, weight loss pills, diet facilities, etc.)

3. I'm still laughing.
That is so funny and cuts to the bone at the same time. My husband and I were just having a talk about sexism, I'm printing it up and reading it to him.
