Come on now!  I hardly think that "male voices in female commercials"
are something to get so uppity about.  Quit the "women of the world, unite!"
stuff.  I agree that discrimination in ANY form, against men OR women, is
unacceptable.  There is no need, though for your type of reaction, which
ranges on paranoia.
