I feel frustrated with targeted ads and binary gender.
I am a demiguy and the ads insult both sides. It's either Amerikkkan men who beat their wives or women who need to get younger & more beautiful for the pedos.
The ads are always aggressive, mean/stereotypes, or straight up stupid.
I hate ads, but these especially. The one that insults its own audience. There are stupid people out there, and even they get it.
Are there any queer ads? No. Of any flavor! Not here, Pinterest, or otherwise. I hate ads, but I do like inclusion.
Anyone else frustrated?
product research for things I’m not allergic to has revealed there are a ridiculous amount of products FOR MEN in dark bottles. with MEN in big letters, because I guess manly men can’t read or something?
but really, who thought a black sunscreen bottle was a good idea? like that’s really what you want to pick up at the beach?
gendered ads/search terms make me angry. sharks are NOT just for boys, thank you. sharks are perfectly cute for any and all genders and ages.
so suck it up and stick to “shark” (or whatever) related search terms, ‘kay?
gendered ads for children's toys make me angry
Brands can't be as honest as they might like in dealing with haters on Facebook. But sometimes other Facebook users can do it for them. That dynamic played out in particularly rogue fashion on Target's Facebook page this week.
“Brands can't be as honest as they might like in dealing with haters on Facebook. But sometimes other Facebook users can do it for them.
That dynamic played out in particularly rogue fashion on Target's Facebook page this week. As the retailer received a steady stream of nasty comments from people upset about its move toward gender-neutral labeling of children's products in its stores, Facebook user Mike Melgaard came to Target's defense—in a most provocative way. He created a fake Facebook account and posed as a Target customer service rep—under the name Ask ForHelp, with a bull's-eye profile pic—and began excoriating the haters with comically sarcastic replies.
He got away with it for about 16 hours, too, commenting on about 50 posts before the fake account was shut down. Here are a few of his greatest hits.”

TOO AWESOME! WELL PLAYED, MIKE!
“An 8-year-old Mighty Girl has won a victory for gender equality in children's books after a major publisher agreed to stop labeling books "for boys" and "for girls" following her petition drive. Els of London, England was annoyed to discover that an enticing pirate book in the Scholastic book fair catalog was titled "for Boys". After her mother Leone told her to “stop griping and do something," Els set up a petition calling on the publisher to stop dividing books by gender and began collecting signatures at her school. Scholastic UK was very responsive and removed the “boys” and “girls” sections on its online Book Wizard and pledged to no longer publish books that declare they are for a specific gender in the title. Els was thrilled by the response and explained to The Independent why she believes that this is an important change: "Girls may not like things that are labelled ‘for girls’, they might want a monster book labelled ‘for boys’. Books should be for everyone and we all like different things. If you tell a girl she could not have one of the books she likes, when she grows up she might feel lonely because she thinks that all the other girls like pretty, pink princesses and she doesn’t... I don’t want my friends to grow up being sad and lonely because they think they are different. They should be happy because we are all different and different is the best.” Kudos to Els for taking a stand against gender stereotyping!
