Because instantly alienating a huge chunk of your demographic through offensive humour is the best way to sell soda pop. (x)

It’s a diet drink geared towards men. It’s not misogyny, it’s marketing. It’s like being mad that lipstick is only marketed towards women.

What if said marketing is misogynistic?

i’m mad that lipstick is marketed only for women. what the fuck. 

Hi!  I’ll try to break this down simply.

Women’s rights and eating disorders intersect.  We don’t need another fucking commercial telling us we don’t deserve those 10 extra calories that men get.  

Although, the commercial in question was intended to manipulate both men and women- Men by feeding their sense of entitlement, women by making us feel stripped of entitlement and therefore more likely to “protest” by buying the product.

As for your profoundly unoriginal comment- Your logic is flawed.  The reason lipstick is marketed towards women and not men is because women are expected to be physically flawless, and our natural lip color is not enticing enough.  The reason it’s considered “bad” for men to wear lipstick is because it makes them “womanly,” and being a woman is bad.

I honestly expected more tact and consideration from someone running a political blog.  For someone who wants to “smash the state,” you sure buy into one of the biggest lies the state’s told you, and has been telling men for centuries.

Also, when has a makeup commercial ever said “It’s not for men”
