I absolutely hate gender stereotyping, and this Yellow Pages ad that's all over TV makes me sputter with righteous indignation. It plays for laughs by reinforcing a rigid gender dichotomy, I assume meant to illicit a chuckle and a little nod - silly, but you can kinda relate. John Gray must cream every time he sees it.

upcoming brews
Here are a few posts I've been working on that should be ready soon:
- A Chemical Romance: Drawing parallels between acid attacks & skin-bleaching creams
- Femantics* -- By Any Other Name: Domestic violence and the -ism's of the Shafia casae (working title)
----------
* Femantics is a segment of posts that deal with words and their power, specifically to do with women, sex, gender, and identity.
