#140 – Superbowl Sexism
Yeah, I watch football, and yes, I’m a female. It’s a misconception that women don’t like football… I’ve braved horrid cold to stay out in the stadium when I have tickets cheering my team on.
So why are Superbowl advertisements still so sexist?
I mean, really, there are other things that are wrong about the ads, like mocking recycling – what the hell? Recycling has nothing to do with manhood, or womanhood, it’s a simple act that can help our children… but apparently that’s not the belief of a certain company. Well, you can bet I’m going to make a list and not buy anything from these… Well, why would I, since I’m a woman and they’re only targeting men anyhow? Regardless of the fact that I’m such a tomboy normal feminine things just don’t interest me at all… About the most feminine I’ll get is a corset to go with my combat boots. Seems like yet another reason women will not want their men to watch the game, which sucks, because personally I’d hate to see that stereotype flourish.
