Stop!!!

Quse — Sun, 04 Feb 2024 23:50:37 GMT

I have many Dooneys. Yay, a Dooney show on with some new bags, it seems.

Then the host and vendor call the bags "she".

Click.
Turned it off immediately.

Stop. They are bags. They are not "she", they are "it".

Stop.

I think the bags identify as female. Seriously though, the host and vendor come across as childish. Please take this lovely lady(purse) home.

If you turned it off for that reason, you couldn't have been that interested.

@Quse Totally. I want to barf when they start that c88p. So insane sounding! ps. Love me a Dooney bag too. But yeah, they call everything "she" these days from bags to Isaac sweaters, to Jane the other night with her beloved Clarks sandals. Please. Stop. Just stop.

And yes, y'all...we KNOW there are more important problems in the world. Still. Stop. ✋

I must have grown accustomed to it over the years.😁 The gender assignment of a handbag is not an issue for me.😊 I am however, really sorry if it is bothersome for you🤗

Edited for clarification.

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I so agree with you. It sounds childish.

Over reaction much?

Someone watches too much Q.

English is one of the few languages that does not assign gender to objects.

Calling a DOONEY a she doesn't bother me.

Many living things are also called she that aren't. She is just another pronoun that doesn't have much meaning.

It's better to just go with the flow.

Why would anyone care? Remember when Lisa Robertson was flinging purses around the set and some people totally freaked out and said she was "disrespectlng" ...them.

Disrespecting PURSES...? really?

Since male hosts are wearing and modeling "she" bags and "she" clothes, why are they still calling them "she"????

It's plain and easy to understand...

The moronification and infantilization in America continues full speed ahead.

i agree^^^

i am sure they think its a sales tactic/pitch that will endear u to the item.

to me, its just so off putting and yes 'moronification & infantilization'.

Stacy Rush does that a lot with clothing and it just rubs me the wrong way.

UGH! find a new pitch, please!!!

I don't care what pronoun anyone uses for inanimate objects. It's so low on any list of priorities, no matter who you are. It's not worth any angst.

Since men can captain boats, why are they calling them "she"?🙄

I believe it's old school to call something not human a she. I remember my sister in law referring to her car as a she. When she got a new car she would say "She's a beauty".
