Insulting advertising
I am not familiar with Zazzle products, nor do I ever care to be since I saw their advertisement using a phrase that is demeaning and insulting toward women. The phrase is "Oldwives tales". The origin of the phrase was to depict old married women as foolish gossips who spread idle rumors and so were held in low esteem. I'm sure the intent of Erika S was not to demean women, when she wrote the article. It was more of lack of knowledge. My intent is to bring awareness. We all know of other hurtful words and phrases that target a specific group of people that should not be said. I would like the phrase, "Old wives tales" to be stricken from polite societies' vocabulary as well.
