This is why I'm a feminist.
Apr. 16th, 2012 08:12 pmI got the latest London Drugs savings event flyer in the mail today.
It features a little girl lying in a field of flowers, obviously dreaming about the items that are floating above her head.
They are:
- A cell phone
- A pink Hello Kitty thermos
- A bottle of designer perfume
- A babycakes cupcake maker
- Herbal Essences shampoo
- A camera
If this was a little boy, he would be, I don't know, sitting in the middle of a sandpit or something butch like that. Maybe riding a tractor! And floating over his head would be more appropriately butch shit. Axe body spray? More gadgets, surely. An XBOX, perhaps.
Really, advertisers? Really?
***
In other news, just a heartfelt and as-always very late thank you for everyone who has commented to me, everyone who has sent me e-mails, and anyone who still reads my blatherings. Life is hard. Being a grown-up is hard. I'm coping poorly. But I ain't quite down for the count.
