So I have no sports gene and therefore fail to feel compelled to even notice its superbowl weekend much less watch. But Michelle has enough of a passing interest the tee-vee was on and I was subjected to the half time show. The giant silver walking tiger was cool.. but how many brain cells were wasted on that effort vs creating something that might actually be useful beyond the half time show. Yes I have wasted brain cells in this way as well, and sometimes its just fun..so okay I wil let it pass..
and then its like Dora the Explorer is on the field and I am watching happy beach balls and sharks and re-living an acid flashback I never had.
And then the monkeys dance.
And a cute little shooting star effect
and then - the maxi pad commercial. (Which I would post here, but someone isn't on their game there at maxi pad or the commercial would be uploading as it aired so I could post it..)
but this seems to be a precursor.
Always #LikeAGirlBut the add is about the sexism in the phrase "like a girl" as in run like a girl, fight like a girl, throw like a girl.
And then the ad itself points out that changes in girls' self esteem happen during puberty..
yeah, do you know why - because that is when boys and girls - who are roughly equivalent - turn into Women and Men - who aren't.
Hence the phrases run like a girl, fight like a girl, throw like a girl, because MOST women ( with the possible exception of martial arts which concentrates on balancing this inequity) cannot do those things as well as MOST men.
Its reality.
Grow up and deal with it.
And no number of maxi pad nor wishful thinking is going to change it.
