Is this the 1950's again?

I don't like it. And I can't even structure a coherent argument as to why not. I tried, but it was too defensive and kept saying what I didn't mean.

I just feel about it the same way I felt about some lager ads recently in the UK. "Carling Don't Make..." [coffee stands in this case] ".. but if they did, they'd be the best in the world." Trouble was, the bank was full of slim sexy women who found the men in the advert sexy, the club was full of slim sexy women who found the men in the advert sexy, the shared house was full of slim sexy women who loved football and cooking and probably wanted sex etc etc etc. Where's my advert?

Where's my coffee stand?

I pay exactly the same price for my beer/ coffee as a man, I want someone to come sit down with me, laugh at my jokes, tell me he's never met a woman like me before and damn aren't I intelligent. Oh I know he's paid to do it, but it puts a smile on my face....

Hmmmm. Perhaps I will open that women only coffee shop after all.

I'd be a customer.
