The general fear of emasculation displayed in many of the Superbowl ads this year was palpable. I wonder if it's because the "mommy party" is in charge again. I don't know that it's a slight against the companies that advertised during the Superbowl in as much as it was what the admen though would sell. Feeding on insecurities is nothing new for advertising.
Yep. Its that kind of crap commercial that WILL actually sell cars to men. Because putting down the toilet seat is such a HUGE concession to women/person to whom you said you loved. Yeah. Right. And men are so oppressed -- reminds me of the latest spewing by the xians. Nowadays any small decent human/humane behaviour or act towards any other human/living being is seen as a HUGE defeat or loss of power to such groups. Does not seem to matter to them that the "other side" (whomever they might be) has done the same or more or much more for them? When did such acts of decent humane behaviour or even kindness become a "defeat"? Why is asking for simple "balance" so wrong?
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."

Not that it matters, but didn't Al Bundy drive a Dodge?
