Wifey B: I don't understand little ladies at all I must admit. I mean it's like super hard for someone like me who is full speed ahead and damx the torpedoes or somewhateverthelineis to grasp the sales job that has to be done. However, I know it's real and it's obvious they are catering to it. I just don't get why men are more likely boaters than women. That really could be a topic for an entirely different discussion and we'd still not know but it must really have to do with tradition and heritage and all that old baggage that many lack the ability or the desire to break away from. In our family my hubby and I are equal in loving boating and in having no interest in roughing it. The same boats appeal to us. I personally found the ad offensive but I know it's probably effective. Bra and male organ products and such I understand the sexual distinctions.

Problem too is I live in a distorted world around lots of avid female boaters including captains and future captains. I admit to being like totally out of touch with the hesitant female boater.
