seriously, why assume that it's only women who might go a bit overboard with their downton abbey-lism?
and who says only men would find it terribly convenient to know six ways to effectively hide a case of wind?
clearly not a greeting card-designer who's able to think outside the ridiculous restraining box.
And how I wish more people could look further than those boxes, which instead of being 'one size fits all' are very much 'one size fits no-one'.

ReplyDeletePerhaps one needs to name and shame these companies so that they get the message (even though they ought to know better by 2013!).
I remember a Twitter storm last year against Hallmark in the UK after they sold a particularly appalling sexist card aimed at 13 year old girls. That was effective - the card was withdrawn and Hallmark apologised and committed to stricter controls: http://www.missrepresentation.org/media/nbi/how-twitter-defeated-a-hallmark-greeting-card/
