"Special Women's Section"

[bmccasland]

Zen - not quite sure which magazine you're referring to (go ahead and hit me upside the head with a 2x4). And maybe I'm just drifting along... but a recent TV commercial has me over the edge, it sells vitamins, specific formulations for teens, girls and boys. For the girls - clear skin, for the boys - builds muscles. Well the boys gets zits, and the girls need stong muscles too!

Not that this has anything to do with Easter colors.

I need more coffee. And that second piece of toast. I hate it when my alarm goes off while I'm dreaming. Really discombobulates me.

Maybe the girl vitamins come in baby pink and the boy vitmains come in baby blue too.

Bicycling?
The subscription is in my husband's name, so the "woman's section" doesn't come here...
I did notice a subtle change in the tone of the new issue. Perhaps it's the woman editor? I take it all with a grain of salt. They are trying to talk to such a wide audience, that something is bound to offend someone. I still like reading it.

I think there was a woman's section in the bicycling magazine I got this week.

I saw that ad too and my head spontaneously combusted.
It wasn't pretty. Maybe I should take some special vitamins.

I thought the same thing!

I would like to see an article in the "Special Women's Section" about the diva cup.

They should definitely have something on the shewee:

I would just like for them to explain chamois creams that claim to be suitable for men and women, but are not supposed to come in contact with mucous membranes.

Maybe those are made by men who have no experience with women?

Oh yeah, you have to be the gender, or experience it to build for them.

Some of the best men's saddles are Terry saddles from a company founded owned run by a woman. Luna cycles will build anyone a bike though a women's company .... women design, build, market, sell bike gear for men including at TE, please "click to shop" above.

But mostly male designers, builders, advertising can't respect the women's market

The mail is late coming to my house.

I just flipped to the pages (or ads) take your pic. I guess you all are right in the general audience appeal. I just remember those girls/women that I grew up with in high school and college who were partially to fully athletic would not see themselves in pink, have their nails done or other "girly" behaviors that society likes to plant on us. Not only that, the clothes that are modeled are super expensive, so realisically, who would by them if they were not familiar with what all is out there.

Enough rant on all this!

Thankyou TE for being here and all on the forum. Keep rocking.
