I am appalled at the amount of sexist commercials on television! Geez oh man! Let's list them, shall we? 1.) ALL the cleaning adds--whether it be Mr. Clean, Dawn, or Swiffer--contain women only! For example, the one commercial has a woman sitting her feather duster down on a chair and creating a corporate feel while she explains to her duster that she just needs an upgrade in her cleaning appliance. I'm sorry, who is MAKING this commercial? The most important piece of business in a woman's life is UPGRADING her freaking DUSTER? I beg to differ!!! And, if these commercials have MEN doing anything, it's looking completely clueless while their smug wives watch them fumble up the "women's work" of cleaning. Are the minds of these ad agents so tiny? 2.) Commercials for dinner. Mom is ALWAYS relied upon! Very rarely do you see a MAN actually making the dinner or doing anything to HELP with providing it. Is this another one of women's daily crises? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO HAVE FOR DINNER?! Please. 3.) TAG. Enough said. If you know the men's cologne spray ads, any of them, then you understand my utter disgust. 4.) Victoria's mother-effing Secret. Keep it to yourself, Vickie. Seeing Giselle's bouncing bosom isn't exactly forwarding women's advancement in this society. But good try. We have made so much progress in this society and then there are these commercials littering the television we watch with so many negative messages about women. If not negative messages, then at least messages that place women in dangerous stereotypes. I don't want to sound like I don't think being a housewife is not a noble job - it deserves the UTMOST respect. However, as a woman I refuse to be expected to just accept that position for myself. If I so chose to stay at home someday and raise children and clean the house, ok. But I also hope that I am done the service of not seeming like such a mindless idiot to the point that the biggest deal in my life is a new mop. Yes, getting new things is always fun, but I hope that NO ONE thinks that that's what a woman's life just innately revovles around - cleaning up messes, making dinner, getting new appliances, wearing a sexy pink bra that makes her boobs look enormous, etc. We deserve better than that. | 
Good times with the Weekend Team and Candidates :)
