The phone showing pics of different girls is sick. The one that got me was the rebound girl shown crying. So, what jerk would target a poor girl who is already heartbroken just to "score" for the night. He could not be much of a man! After all, to use someone who is down and weak at the moment is like a hunter of elephants killing a little bunny rabbit with an elephant gun...just because he could not get the elephant. I would hope that most MEN would be upset that anyone would think they were so pathetic as to stoop this low! A real MAN would not have to resort to the pitiful advice in this ad.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shirley Hulgan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 14th 2009 1:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pepsi Apologizes (Kinda) for Sexist iPhone App]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/13/pepsi-apologizes-kinda-for-sexist-iphone-app/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/13/pepsi-apologizes-kinda-for-sexist-iphone-app/</guid><description><![CDATA[Lighten up and get a grip!!!

They think it's funny.  They have no idea how hard women have fought, and what they and to go though, to require respect from men.  Young women who have not tried to get a job based on skill and not breasts, young women who have not experienced sexual harassment in the workpace and lost out on a job because they were to "sexy" and might distract the real clients have no idea what they are going to face in life.<br><br>Right now, being sexy and having apps written about the is fun and being sexy gives them attention.<br><br>And guys, well, they have no idea what the real work world is like either.<br><br>So, WHY do we give them so much attention?  It is validating bad behavior for fun and profit --<br><br>All I can say is "I wish you the real world"]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cyn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 13th 2009 2:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pepsi Apologizes (Kinda) for Sexist iPhone App]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/13/pepsi-apologizes-kinda-for-sexist-iphone-app/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/13/pepsi-apologizes-kinda-for-sexist-iphone-app/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am a 19 year old WOMAN or as you would probably say "a youth of today" and am well aware of what women went through back in the day. I know about the struggles and discrimination we went through partly because I payed attention in school... and probably partly because of annoying ass (and obviously elderly) feminists like yourself who can't take a joke and shove their views down everybody else's throats. Your views are "Hey, I can't enjoy this so I'm not going to let anyone else enjoy it either." Get over yourself.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lisa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 13th 2009 4:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pepsi Apologizes (Kinda) for Sexist iPhone App]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/13/pepsi-apologizes-kinda-for-sexist-iphone-app/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/13/pepsi-apologizes-kinda-for-sexist-iphone-app/</guid><description><![CDATA[@Lisa: The difference between reading it in a book and hearing it from "annoying ass" feminists is that you never lived through it. People who lived through the golden age of discrimination have every right to bitch, because it was hellaciously tougher than anything you or I will probably ever go through. These forums are open for anyone to post their opinion, even if it's different from yours, so Cyn can talk all she wants. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mary]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 13th 2009 5:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pepsi Apologizes (Kinda) for Sexist iPhone App]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/13/pepsi-apologizes-kinda-for-sexist-iphone-app/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/13/pepsi-apologizes-kinda-for-sexist-iphone-app/</guid><description><![CDATA[Mary: I totally agree that Cyn can talk all she wants but I also have a right on this forum to disagree with her. It's just very sad that noone has a sense of humor anymore and that we can't laugh at ourselves. We could be doing other more productive things in life rather than complaining about some app that was mainly used for entertainment. If Pepsi came out and said that all women are worthless or whatever, I would totally understand and agree with everyone on this forum who brings up women's rights and all of that but they did not do that. This was just for fun and laughs. We need to take ourselves less seriously and have fun with life. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lisa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 13th 2009 6:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pepsi Apologizes (Kinda) for Sexist iPhone App]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/13/pepsi-apologizes-kinda-for-sexist-iphone-app/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/13/pepsi-apologizes-kinda-for-sexist-iphone-app/</guid><description><![CDATA[SHUTUP!!!

They think it was all about women who hate men.  That is how most of bad history would have you see it.  Women who were forced to have sex with their bosses to keep a job, or raped by their bosses and lost in court because they dressed 'a little too provocative.'  This all seems like silly ideas to you.  <br><br>Do a little research, find out why women get so angry over these issues.  Don't just blow it off because you need attention from the male sex and will put up with whatever they do just so they like you.  <br><br>It is just an app, but it makes women cheap and objects, not real.  Women are real and deserve better respect than a cheap fantasy of "if only I could get women" game.  <br><br>Hey, kids killed over one game, you don't think they won't attack women if the game plays on that?  <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[C.Warren]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 13th 2009 3:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pepsi Apologizes (Kinda) for Sexist iPhone App]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/13/pepsi-apologizes-kinda-for-sexist-iphone-app/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/13/pepsi-apologizes-kinda-for-sexist-iphone-app/</guid><description><![CDATA[I kind of agree with you.<br><br>kind of.<br><br>The women's rights movement was definitely a significant positive progress for women.  The problem now is that it is a complete farce.  There are almost no other things that a woman can complain about.  Sure, there is the occasional sexist asshole or imagined gender-bias.  The reason some people think its a joke now is because it kind of is.  The women that make up the 'movement' now are really just men-haters. <br><br>People are much too sensitive now to realize this is a big joke, and need to stop being so offended!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[uglybutt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 13th 2009 6:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pepsi Apologizes (Kinda) for Sexist iPhone App]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/13/pepsi-apologizes-kinda-for-sexist-iphone-app/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/13/pepsi-apologizes-kinda-for-sexist-iphone-app/</guid><description><![CDATA[You're taking this way too far. This is an iphone app that says "Hey decode that girl's shirt to see what sorority she's from!" and you're comparing that to having sex with your boss, inequality in the workplace, and total all out sexism? Come on... I swear soon saying someone is a woman will be sexist because you're treating them differently than a guy. lol]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[liljohnny818]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 13th 2009 7:29PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
