Is it only the fact that they're scantily clad? Do women also find the fact that only women actors are used in cleaning commercials "fucking gross"?

  "Do women also find the fact that only women actors are used in cleaning commercials "fucking gross"?" It's not gross in the same way, but yeah, that is a great example of sexism!

    I understand that it sucks, but it's targeted marketing. Same reason the use kids in toy commercials and sports in beer commercials.

      Just because it makes sense and makes money doesn't mean it's ok. If sports-lovers had their options limited in life because of stereotypes perpetuated (in part) by beer commercials, then that would be a problem too.

    If anything I'd say it's grosser.

    But whom else but white men can you portray as buffoons without getting lynched by, well, everyone ?

  Isn't that just because 9 times out of 10 those products are bought by women?
