Thanks a lot for writing this information, I do not know about anybody else, but I could totally make use of it.

Oh wow, yes! A few months ago I saw something similar advertised on the tube! I don’t remember exactly how it was phrased but it was basically for sport, hectic lifestyles etc. for men and for women it was for a feeling of ‘well being’ and something-else-that-is-probably-relevant-but-ive-completely forgotten it.
Silly comment I’m making but… this is one of those ‘ME TOO’ situations, so I had to post (: haha

My favorite part of the advertisment has to be the “top health concerns of moms and teens,” line.

Because OF COURSE dads just don’t care about their kids health/ health concerns…

If you want natural vitamins and not sythetic chemical check out StarGate Nutrition.

One of my pet peeves is when feminists nitpick gender stereotyping and regard it with outrage when a simple ‘that’s silly and needs to change’ and some mild eye rolling will suffice. With all the genuinely infuriating things out there to focus on, gender specific vitamins isn’t the top of my list. Yes the packaging reinforces gender stereotypes but boys and girls have different nutritional needs. Is it (mildy) sexist? I guess. Is it worthy of the MALE PRIVILEGE PEDESTAL posturing going on? I mean yes, every little incident is important in it’s own way but there is such a thing a prioritizing. Picking on little things like vitamins undermines the larger issues and makes the feminism movement seems petty and small. I’m not saying let the little injustices slip through the crack but maybe spare some of the hand wringing lest you come off over dramatic and needlessly reactionary

The very first time I saw that ad, I started yelling at the TV. Girls need pretty skin, and boys need muscles. Riiiiiiiight.

*eye roll*

And LOL at the guys telling us to get over it. “Just the social norm” does not excuse it, it’s pointing out the social norms as hoplessly sexist that helps us build new and better social norms. But hey, don’t let me tip you from your male privilege pedestal.

I guess there is more to the vitamin A&C thing for girl’s skin than I thought, this just came down the wire.
