Watching your dad scream...

Use another brand, encourage others not to use the brand, take up a job to steer people away from the brand, target employee's (within the constraints of the law), sabotage whenever possible, (if your a member of a group) take up employment at the selected company and use what ever is at your disposal to undermine efforts,...

mammon is unrighteous, lol

Don't ever use a Mastercard again.

Don't ever accept a Mastercard again.

Imagine the outcry if the advert had said that watching your mother scream was "priceless".

There's a number of 'yes men' around here who I'm sure screem just little girls.

It humiliates media's image of a man to appeal to a demographic.

People often try to control boys by humiliation/shame and this is why some utterly reject it (it's a catch-22 because of part of being human is experiencing shame and why media caters to a wider variety of shamelessness among womenpride also has it's own vices that is harder to distinguish because you're always hearing what you want to hear).

Good advertising or weaponized psychology, billions have gone into the field to sell us stuff and damn the consequences.

And the email we can write to about it is?

male bashing is OK and even thought of as funny. the only socially legit target left for ridicule and sarcasm is the (usually white) man.

female bashing is strictly taboo. Altho i have seen the rare ocassional TV commercial where a girl is cast as a dolt or whatever

Work it out from there.

I understand that 86% of all money spent is spent by females. That's just in the UK, in the United States the figure is slightly higher.

Men provide most of that money. It's time that they took an interest in where it's going.

PBS' financial Friday evening program, " Wall Street Week ".

They gave a figure of 85% female control of discretionary spending in the US.

Could be me. At least 86% of my money is spent by females.

What did they class as "discertionary" ?

I tend not to believe those kinds of statistics without accurate description in how the numbers were gathered or the scrutiny they were placed under.

Groceries considered discretionary? Second car/motorbike? Cottage or a second house or property?

The number seems to be way to high, in my life and the people I know the opposite would be close to true and without deviance.

Falsified or politicly motivated interpratation of statistics would account for the off base advertising, politics and law. Everybody know women's groups do it excessively and there is every reason to doubt the 86%

That statement, by itself would be total BS. A lot more than 14% of money is spent by corporations and governments.

I wonder when this occured. It isn't mentioned in the Aug. 20 transcript at

or I've been looking for a good cite for that number for years now--- haven't found one yet. It seems to be a number that everyone has heard, yet no one knows exactly where it came from.

Sure, women do most of the grocery shopping, buys clothes and school supplies for kids and stocks the family's first-aid, hygene supplies as well as laundry detergents. THAT is what they mean by discretionary spending. You want to fight this "right" of women, get off your ass and go to the supermarket macho man!

Every guy I know exclusively does the grocery shopping, I don't know of one woman that does go grocery shopping consistently. Most cook, clean and do the dishes.

There seems to be a lot more men shopping in grocery stores then women.

" The plural of 'anecdote' is NOT 'citation'.

Really, how long will it be before Ignorant WomenFirsters even start to grasp that simple and truthful basic point ?

Indeed. *That* is your problem. YOU DON'T KNOW, either way, whether or not the few people you know ( Will you try to convince anyone over the age of our that you know a *statistically significant weighted sample* of your whole society ? ) I hope not... ) are common, uncommon, truely exceptional, etc.

Doo look up the word: " context ".

Studies have shown that, when all jobs in support of the family are accounted for, including wage work, commuting in support thereof, and all house tasks, including on the exteriors of homes, yards, vehicles, etc., the average married man works five to eight more hours than does the average married woman.

After all, how does Oprah get those millions of *women viewers* in a primarily 4-5 PM week day time slot ?

Free Clue: The topic was *discretionary* spending.

Food is NOT " discretionary "...

Duh...
