Target Women

Target Women was a segment of the show InfoMania, hosted by Sarah Haskins. In it, she looks at commercials featuring women and products for women and the stereotypes of women that they present. Far from the dry, academic analysis so common to feminist critiques, Sarah's style was lighthearted, snarky and humorous.


Tropes used in Target Women include:

The next time words fail you in trying to describe your genitalia, just turn to the world of nature: my chia pet, my fern, my gentle alpaca, my sarlacc pit from Return of the Jedi.

"You may call these commercials, but I like to call them 'rape fables'."

Sarah: The recent Carl's Jr. ad campaign could easily be called "Douchebaggery 101: Embracing your inner douche". It's a follow-up to "AP Objectification".

"Let's jump on the euphemism train to Shittown! First stop, Fiberville!"

"But can a robot lady learn... to love?"

If you a fly gal,
Get your nails done,
Get a pedicure,

Get your hair did.
