Smackie, I for one, got ever single word that you said and how it was intended. You have to remember though that you are in overly politically correct DC. A lot of these people have been very successfully brainwashed to jump on anyone who dares to even suggest the tiniest thing that goes against the PC party lines. The triggers have been deeply programmed into their psyches. They often assume all kinds of wrong ideas at the least little trigger without giving it any real thought as to the truth or intention.
As you stated later, no one has a problem with targeting young females for tampon commercials. And I would bet that if someone bitched that some commercial or video targeted the White community that no one would say that it was racist, unless it's to claim that it excludes Blacks. But the fact is, in real life, quite often, birds of a feather DO flock together.....by CHOICE and not by exclusion. Deal with it people. All groups do it, not just one or two. The marketers know this and are smart enough to find those niches and appeal to their wants, needs and desires. Diversity sometimes includes little pockets of like groups. Accept them instead of trying to break them up or we women will call out the PC police and force all of you men to watch as much Sex And The City as we do or call you a bunch of mysogynists if you refuse. :roll:
Where's Mankie? He'll love your work and take it for what it's worth...and nothing more.
