Women go make a salad.



I see this commercial all the time, but last night it truly hit me that there are two meanings behind this commercial, 1. women belong in the kitchen, not outside grilling and 2. That this charcoal is so easy a woman can do it! I won't even mention the fact that men can't make salads in their own kitchens. i think that this might be the most ridiculous commercial out there on T.V. i mean come on people, way to perpetuate age old sterotypes.

there are now grilling cook books for women; guess what. they're the same as menz, but guess what--they're PINK. cuz that's the only way my lady brain can understand the utter manliness of grilling.

that's so funny. it seems to me like any grilling cookbook would serve the purpose.
But OF COURSE!!! i forgot about the lady brain syndrome. Gosh it must be so hard only being able to comprehend pink things with extra frills.
