I was watching the SpinningTV infomercial between soccer games today.
I noticed the difference in advertising toward gender.
Men: The doctor told me to lose weight or die.
Women: It makes my butt toned. It lifts my butt. My butt looks great...
I guess women don't die of obesity?
And men are too dumb to want to look better?

Insane, isn't it. Welcome to the world of being a woman where it's all about how you look.

A woman's true purpose and value lies in being seen as attractive, didn't you know? (Not that it irritates me or anything...)
In all seriousness, lots of women value being attractive over being healthy -enough to make it of demographic significance.

And fewer men do. Still haven't heard a man ask if what he's wearing makes his butt look big.

Women die of obesity, but with toned butts! LOL!
