I’ve said it before … either I find wolves or they find me.  This time it was in the grocery store.  And clearly I’m a sucker for marketing.  Fortunately the hubs doesn’t have definitive absolutes about what I buy for him.  Scratch that.  He does but this falls under his I-don’t-really-care-which-one purview.  I did not even bother to smell it and scent is very important to me.  I’m guessing they’ve tried to gear this toward teenage boys with the whole “nocturnal creatures” thing.  This would not be the first time I have had something in common with teenage boys … like video games for instance.  I have always loved them and in fact would not date a boy again if I had to spend all night just watching him play in an arcade.  Heck, I even judged Burk on that at Dave and Busters before we were married.  I like dual players but it is also nice to have someone watching you, too.  However I have also always lamented the lack of strong women and/or the roles they have been given in video games.  American feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian said:

“I love playing video games, but I’m regularly disappointed in the limited and limiting ways women are represented.”

I could not agree more.  So take that you statistical bean counters with your coded algorithms trying to stuff people in stereotypical boxes.  I am NOT some middle-aged woman who mostly does the grocery shopping in the family; I’m looking forward to the latest version of Tomb Raider.  Nevermind that I don’t really have time to play anymore; it’s the thought that counts.  And now if you will excuse me, I am off to buy a two pack of mint dental floss.
