I am. Really. In light of this fact, I am naturally inclined to like manly things, and have somewhat of a distaste for feminine things. While I'm certainly not saying, "MAN GOOD, WOMAN BAD," I'm just noting that there is a difference in preferences based on gender.

That being said, why do all the good paper plates have flowers and other, "pretty" things on them? Sure, the large part of the quality paper plate buying market are mothers who stay at home to raise their children, but what about those of us who happen to be gentlemen of upstanding regard and taste in paper products? Are we doomed to a life of cheap paper plates, or can we group together and lobby companies like Dixie to make us a paper plate that is manly, or at least disabused of all this flowery crap?

The answer, of course, is probably not. But it's a thought, nonetheless. It's things like this that make me want to scream when I hear that women are treated unfairly in the marketplace. Maybe that's true, but you can get paper plates that you like!
