A word on commercials

I was on The Rantings of A Young Man in A Feminized Society the other day when I came across an interesting post that dealt with commercials. What fascinated me was the fact that it was this very same thing that got me started on looking into the topic of feminism and how it has begun being implemented on television, but mainly on commercials. I agree with what he was talking about when he mentioned the fact that many of the commercials seem to pressure or even put a guilt trip on men to go out and buy materialistic things for their women, as if that's going to prove your love for her. I remember listening in my car to a radio commercial from a jeweler who was claiming to be the listener's "feminine side" and that "we need to talk. Your woman is special and it's time you show her how special she is." The 30 second commercial proceeds to pound the guilt trip into the listener until he begins questioning himself and decides that he needs to buy something in order to prove his love, "starting at $3500 dollars". The thing that always makes me laugh is the fact that there aren't nearly as many commercials telling women to buy their man gifts. I can't remember the last time the wife hops over the couch surprising the husband with tickets to a ball game or something like that. I wonder why that is? Hmmmmmm.....
