I hate those ads and, ideally, would like to be able to choose the kind of ads that I look at while I'm on my favorite websites. I mean, seriously, who wants to look at a half-naked woman that "really" a mother on 8, works 60 hours a week, and had to do NO exercise to look like a model?!? lol Gretchen, I have been pointing this out to anyone who would listen for YEARS, now!

They do feature women on cleaning ads. Marketers know that women typically do the shopping so I'm sure that is why we are targeted. I don't watch much tv, but I will pay closer attention to ads there and on other media sources. Jennifer – that is a fabulous observation. =d>

In the same vein, the thing I really despise is that, almost 40 years after the "Women's Lib" movement, ALL cleaning product ads still feature ONLY women, implying that cleaning and caring for a home is "women's work!!" Do men not clean their homes? (Okay, no comment.) How can a society move past stagnant views on gender and gender roles if Madison Ave still shows us the same images that our grandmothers and great-grandmothers saw?! We need to not only have equality in the workplace, but in the home as well. I have to agree with this.
