I am in the early stages of a toy company. My designs are geared towards girls. It was amazing how limited I was in naming my company and brand. Put toys and girl together and that creates a whole new set of problems. UGHH! I want to fight these people who have limited the use of a simple word!

I hate how girls are treated in advertising and I avoid lots of products as a result of what I see, so I feel I don’t accept it as normal but what else can we do except bitch abut it. ABSOLUTELY Educate our daughters for one.There is no collective “NO” with any power – we are a minority. The problem is there are just millions of women who shop and shop and primp and primp and fit the stereotype and support the advertisers ????? I hate them alllll………..AND there are news stories everywhere about these women taking their tweens to the spa and training the next generation to think they must improve themselves to be loved

Great post, and the picture is beautiful. I agree there should be more options with advertisers.

Also there is something on Adsense called Ad Review Center.

For Adsense, it is a feature called competetive ad filter (most people filter to try to make more revenue.) You can access it from the Google Adsense help page.

Another friend told me about an ad co called Adbrite where you can approve and reject all the ads for your site – but I have not used it or checked it out myself. Keep us posted!
