The reason this isn't sexist in my opinion is that both sexes entertain unreasonable relationship fantasies. It is part of being human.
But only one gets to have their fantasy portrayed in this commercial (the heterosexual males). That's my problem with it, I don't think it is sexist though. Okay, so non heterosexuals are a smaller group and they want to advertise to the biggest group. Then why not market it to females? They make up more than males do in a lot of places or it is almost even everywhere else. So, why didn't they?
Probably for the same reason My Little Pony commercials appear during the Powerpuff Girls cartoons and not during Wilfred. Most commercials are tailored to the demographic that is watching that particular program. There are plenty of commercials that have very female-centric appeal catering to the unreasonable expectations of the perfect man. I get a chuckle out of those as well.
Really? Could you show me? I only see that when it is "women's products". Everything else seems to be for hetro males. And families, which have a mom and dad.
Edited to add "and families, which have a mom and a dad."
