I just saw a commercial for a TV set that said, "Why is [so-and-so brand] the world's first television for men AND women?"

That's funny.  I've never bought a television only to bring it home and discover that the way to turn it on is a round hole cut into the side that says, "Insert cock here." 

Maybe I just lucked out.

Yeah, you did. I had to buy a strap-on for mine. I was pissed.

Only if it comes with a big shiney bow. Then I can put it on said strap-on and hang it from the ceiling to greet people as they walk into my apartment. It'll be grand! :D

I've seen that commercial. It made me think, "But I thought tvs were for everyone?" And then I changed the channel.

Because usually only men like TV...! Or are the only people who buy TVs? Or know how to plug in and set up a newfangled and oh-so-complicated (NOT REALLY, women are obviously just complete dummies) system.

Yeah.

I have no clue who they're trying to kid.

The women I know? Are better with electronics/DIY/just about everything else deemed male orientated than the guys I know. That whole electronic toys only for the boys concept is old.

I told my friend and he responded:

no, you are right... but if you don't you'll never be able to turn on the 3-d holographic channels... but then without the vagina toggle, i can never turn on the feature that sprays glade into the room at random intervals.

Man, I hate genderised compsumption prompts (and gender roles), and stuff that enforces stereotypes, like "TV for MEN and WOMEN, ain't it great?!?"

...I can't even imagine what would make a TV for women. Being pink and fuzzy? Gettng PMS? Dude, that's a bad ad.

Someone in a thread on another journal told me about finally buying her daughter a Hello Kitty TV for Xmas after three years of whining. So I guess that qualifies as a feminine TV set. Or maybe a Barbie one, and I wouldn't be surprised if such a thing exists.

But I note these are little girl models, not grown women varieties.

Oh yeah, I've seen TVs for little girls. I hope a TV for an adult woman isn't the same thing but bigger, or with cosmos and high heels on it instead of Barbie stuff.

But it probably is.
