In one of my Sociology classes, we talked about how men are more likely to buy the store-brand products for things that are “less important” to them. Thus, name-brands are more aimed at women, who like the quality, and store-brands are typically for men, who want to save money.

This isn’t my belief, it’s my professor’s theory.

I’m not surprised to hear that you have a first wife.

I grew up in Roswell, Ga, and I’d say it’s true that there’s a pretty big handful of racist Good Old Boys in the area.

Not all of us are, I swear. Not all of us think strange black ladies with knives clean bathrooms. But maybe I didn’t hang out in the right public restrooms enough. Maybe crackersinmypants knows something I don’t.

Um, the studies are “family-based”. Does the laundry detergent manufacturing community think single men all wear dirty clothes? Who do they think is buying single men’s detergent for them in large measure?
It’s an antiquated, sexist point of view that the industry has clung to.
If I were a woman, I’d be pissed off that even today women are depicted as washer women for their men and children.
In our home, I cook because I’m the better cook. My wife does the laundry most often, because she insists upon it (not because I’m incapable of doing laundry), but what brand of detergent we purchase is not gender-based (or biased) in any way.
The manufactures know this as well. That’s why you don’t see any detergent marketed as a “Man’s Detergent” like you have, say, deodorants marketed by gender.
Women drink beer, yes. But not all women or even the vast majority, so why market to them?. But everyone needs clean clothes, single men and women as well as families, so why not market to both genders?

Glo, I respectfully disagree. It’s not market forces as indicated by surveys…it’s lingering sexism.

Personally, I think a survey would show it has been many a year since any woman fell into despair over ring-around-the-collar, but I cannot prove that assumption. Maybe postpartum depression is actually dingy laundry syndrome?
We need funding for a study.

I wonder if they make sterling silver sporks?

no just merely a teaching tool for the ignorant. People should know how to use the restroom without being disgusting animals…

Yo, racist! You’re implying it wasn’t the strange black lady who wrote the note because you think all non-pales are illiterate? I resent that!

A whole day, and no one’s used “Tyler Perry’s Strange Black Lady with a Knife” yet? And it’s an Atlanta PAN, no less.
