The closest categories I would fit these two lists of companies in are mommy companies (best) and daddy companies (worst).

Sister Mary Margaret doesn't like manly things so much.

Oh, there are so many flaws with that post. Take cars for instance. Ford is a mommy company but GM, Toyota, Chrysler, Volkswagen and Nissan are daddy companies? Hmm, I guess that Ford male bonding ad showing the father and son racing their new Mustang is aimed at women, and all those other car companies should move all their print advertising for minivans to Men's Health, Playboy and Field & Stream. I also guess I'm being a mommy when I pile my two boy scouts in my Ford SportTrac and go camping, and that those Chrysler ads with Dr. Z selling minivans to (literal) soccer moms are intended to show us guys how studly we can be if we buy one.

Claritin is chick medicine but Flonase is manly? Only chicks drink Coke now? Only chicks eat at Olive Garden? Men don't shop at Sears? Women don't get American Express Cards (man, they'd better get all those empowered businesswomen out of their "Open" ads) or shop at Circuit City? Only women use cell phones?

Perhaps you screwed this up because you haven't been watching much TV, in which case you are to be praised. But it appears the real problem is that you're so busy being disgusted at social conservatives that you can't even discuss the subject rationally.
