Right?<\/p>\n

Or, at least, we’re constantly told <\/em>that women love shoes.<\/p>\n

This ad in the August 2010 issue of Elle Canada got a “major eye roll” from JT.\u00a0 Women need focus (focus vitamin water, that is), so that they can shop for shoes.\u00a0 They’re just so many kiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnds!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jacob spotted this Nine West sign in the Pittsburgh airport.\u00a0 It reads “Everything A Woman Wants: MORE SHOES AND PURSES!”:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Both of these ads present women as obsessed with shoes (and purses).\u00a0 I am not obsessed with either.\u00a0 I buy all my shoes at thrift stores (except running shoes) and I care so little about purses that Gwen actually buys them for me in Las Vegas and mails them to Los Angeles so that I don’t carry the exact same purse until I die.<\/p>\n

That is all.<\/p>\n
