Because Regular Chocolate Bars Are Way Too Masculine
I don’t even know what to do with this one. Fling is a new chocolate bar that’s aimed at women. You can tell, because the packaging is pink. Also because the damn thing is called “fling,” indicating that there’s something thrilling and “naughty” about the chocolate bar — and no one considers it “naughty” when [...]

Dell makes a new computer — the “Della” — for us lady-folk. And it doesn’t just do boy-stuff like let you create documents and surf the internet and play games; it does girl-stuff, too, like helping you count calories and plan recipes! According to the site the Della can change a woman’s life “Once you [...]

Really, WEtv? Summary: White woman walks around town, sometimes eating unhealthy food (ice cream sundaes, etc). Thin white man follows her, and narrates his stalking — “I investigate people. I spy on them. I watch their every move. I dig through their lives. I look inside, so I can help them change the outside.” When [...]

(Click here if you can’t view the embedded video.) “Achy face” was it for me. The laughter just couldn’t stop. Especially when it was immediately backed up with “bear head.” And thanks to Sarah, I now understand why my cat just lays around all day. Damn. Sorry, Mink.

Of course, “garden” doesn’t really mean garden, if you know what I mean ladies, and I think that you do! Of course, we’re talking about that feminine garden. You know — the one down there.

Well, bigots can’t have that! So NOM has launched [...]

Shaming Women Into Adhering to Beauty Standards — This Time With Threats of Catastrophe!
Three things about this Wilkinson Sword Quattro commercial (sorry, not able to be embedded), which tells women that if they don’t shave their legs, terrible things will happen and the whole damn world is going to fall apart: 1. It’s women’s responsibility to the world to adhere to feminine beauty standards. 2. There is nothing [...]

See, I was so behind on posting Target Women videos that it’s time for another one already! We don’t have Carl Jr where I live, so I’d only ever seen the “steak dinner” ad before. And whoa. I agree, that is some supreme douchebaggery. (Click here if you can’t view the embedded video.) This Target [...]
