Fender have been deliberating targeting females as they have realized that it was the only way they could expand their market, ie by not ignoring 50% of the population.
Well what exactly do you think it was then?
“It’s just a joke, love!”
Always “just a joke...”
Seriously, what an absurd reaction. The idea that females in general would be somehow offended by that makes me wonder what planet you're living on.
As a 15 year old girl, what would you make of an offhand comment like that when trying to decide whether to join a community or not?
Just wondering.
So I'd probably see the joke, give it the Christmas cracker groan it deserves then either read the rest of the thread (let's assume this uncalled for confrontation wasn't part of it) then go back and find a thread about guitars or pedals or whatever I was researching.
One of the good things about forums is the variety of people who can all talk together and you may well be over 50 or from a conservative background, I would have no idea. But trust me that in general, girls aren't any more sensitive to that kind of thing than boys, at least the under 40s whom I've spoken to at that level. Just look at the audience of a comedian who makes comments like that - it's definitely not all men by a long shot.
I'll tell you what's a joke.
