Leah of The Lobster Dance has graciously agreed to host the Feminist Friday discussion this week.
The topic: Gendered Marketing aimed at adults.
I couldn’t be more thrilled that Leah’s offered to host. If you want to know why I’m saying that, check out this piece she wrote at I’ll Make It Myself last month about pointlessly gendered food blogging.
You’re welcome to join us (and to chime in if you’re feeling chatty on Friday).
Leah’s post will be the eighteenth of these discussion threads we’ve posted since we started them in March, and The Lobster Dance will be the seventh blog that’s hosted. I can’t tell you how happy that makes me.
All previous installments are archived here.

Me too 🙂 Judging from my Twitter notifications, which I haven’t had time to look at, but exploded today, I’d say it might be a long one.

There’s SO MUCH on that topic! Hopefully we can start it here and talk about other subtopics with other hosts, too. (I could seriously write a book on these because it never stops!)

Perhaps you should write that book, then.

Reblogged this on The Lobster Dance and commented:
Hi, readers! If you haven’t been following Feminist Friday on Sourcerer and Part-time Monster, check it out this Friday right here on The Lobster Dance. We’re going to discuss gendered marketed toward adults, especially product segregation by gender. We’d love to have you, my regular readers, join in, too!

I have never heard of “gendered marketing” before!

Nice handle 🙂
Gendered marketing is a thing. It’s the idea that you sell products to people of different sexes in different ways (see the pink boxing gloves). Which isn’t always a problem, but can be, based on the marketing techniques employed and the attitudes of the people who author the advertisements.
