I think we can only make a difference one vote/wallet at a time. It's not like we can change the law or anything, but if advertisers start seeing that the lewd ads don't work anymore, they'll change. Thanks for writing. All the best! Thanks Pat! I think we can only make a difference one vote/wallet at a time.

I definitely notice sexist ads and I, too, vote with my wallet. Thanks for writing this item and for taking a stand against sexist advertising. We need more men like you! Best wishes. :) Hi Nicholas, I agree with you completely. I definitely notice sexist ads and I, too, vote with my wallet.

Patrick could easily have taken a much stronger position with her fame. Even Jenny McCarthy (eek) has become an advocate of family values. That I don't understand, but at least she is doing something positive now. Catherine, I like your ring around the collar comment! I'm proud to say my Mum raised me right! Good point, Rae.

Catherine, I like your ring around the collar comment! I’m proud to say my Mum raised me right!

My sentiments exactly. I've been voting with my wallet ever since a wonderful econ class freshman year in HS. Did a paper boycotting brands. Money is power and I do not give my money to sexist advertisers! My husband can tell stories about adamant I was and how I would NEVER buy Wisk detergent years and years ago...'Ring around the Collar'...Sheesh! Wash your neck and don't blame your wife! Retailers take note...I raised 3 kids with same expectations and advertising morals. GoDaddy? Not. Bravo, Nick!

It's disappointing to see Danica Patrick, who could be a great role model for young girls, sell out for their tasteless tv commercials. GoDaddy could go much further if they focused on improving the usability of their site and appealing to people who need to set up an internet presence, but aren't quite sure how.
