If anything, I think the droid commercails tend to fail men.  Most of the men I know, who range from computer nuts to managers and so forth, like their gadgets and toys but are drawn to how they can use them (i.e. - function). Things like merging calendars and accessing Facebook are a few of the smaller functions they would be interested in.  The Pre commercials at least convey why you would want to use this phone.  The droid fails to give any real reason why anyone would want one.  (Especially when compared to the iPhone which most people know how it can be useful and fun)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jennifer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 5th 2010 6:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon Markets Palm Pre Plus to Ladies, Fails to Smash Patriarchy]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/02/04/verizon-markets-palm-pre-plus-to-ladies-fails-to-smash-patriarc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/02/04/verizon-markets-palm-pre-plus-to-ladies-fails-to-smash-patriarc/</guid><description><![CDATA[Destroying "gender roles" has done NOTHING to help our society.  While I realize that both men and women have always needed to give alot more thought to the opposite sex (and yes, women do too), there is a lot to be said for the "traditional role model" set up.  For one, children raised in the "mom stays home and dad goes to work" environment, are MUCH better off, as any number of studies and simple empirical evidence has shown.  Personally, I think we are beginning to move past all of this way misguided "feminazi" crap.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CoreyR]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 5th 2010 10:20PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
