Has anyone else seen the Folgers coffee commercial that shows a GG getting out of bed in the morning saying right off the bat that, 'she sleeps in her husbands underware'. Then it goes on about coffee.
I usually don't try to compare the supposed double standard of GG's wearing "male clothes", however, I just cannot get over this one! The first time I saw this, I asked my wife what she thought of it. She hadn't even noticed it! So, later on it came on the tube again and this time she saw it. Again, I asked her what she thought. She said, "so what?". I asked, How would it be perceived if that were a guy waking up saying "I sleep in my wifes neglige". I think there would be a huge ferver of media hype and adverse reaction from the intolerant among us. Her response was " yes, I agree. But, what do you do about it?" I am at a loss. Maybe we start a letter writing campaign to Folgers asking for equal time.........like that would ever work!
To some level though, I think it does go to show that there is somewhat of a "Double Starndard on an acceptable version of crossdresssing and the stereotypical non-acceptable variety.
What do think?
