- Well, I suppose this is no doubt a reflection of the fact that men have more
- money to dispose of than women. Although there are plenty of female beer
- suckers out there (I guess you can tell that I don't like beer), there's no
- doubt in my mind that men spend *far* more money on beer than women do. So
- it's not suprising that beer commercials cater to men's whims and fancies.

- How many commercials do you see trying to sell dishwashing liquid to men? I
- don't recall having ever seen Madge tell a man "Your soaking in it". Which is
- funny, because *I* do the dishes in my house, at least most of the time.
-
- Come on, little girl. Grow up. The dollar drives the world. Just live and
- let live and don't worry about it. Have fun! Make your *own* life the way you
- want it; don't bother with the rest of the world.
