Kirsten is doing it again!

So, I'm watiching QVC and ordered the Jimmy Falon football shirts. What comes on next? The Stanley Power Fat Max. I have one and I love it. Here's my problem. Why does Kirsten continually say "Even a girl can do it" I find this insulting!!! Very insulting. This isn't the first time she's done this. I believe it was this past summer when she said it and I gasped. I should have written then. Here we are now in October and she's at it again. Are "girls" too stupid to handle this tool? Are "girls" too weak to lift it and attach it to the car battery? This is 2016 QVC, what gives!!! And I won't even go into the insult of being called a "girl". Come on!

Thank you for saying what I'm thinking.

Of course any woman can do it if she wants to!! Not the best selling strategy...

@mcanio She's trying to sell the product to you. I agree that the "even girls" is a thing of the past. She and others need to come up with some new phrases. I guess it's hard to talk about an item over and over without saying something that annoys some of us.

For heaven's sake...don't we have more important things to worry about than what Kirsten says? Doesn't bother me a bit!

She is selling to her audience.....females. Doesn't bother me.

Geez......just relax..........taking ever single tag line and taking offense is a waste of energy......I swear if someone said good morning to some people, they'd be offended. This is home shopping, not congress. Go ahead and think what you wish, but I'm so over all this knit-picking at every single word. She probably was trying to make the point that if there were SOME women (not you OP) who might think that they wouldn't be able to use it, that it would be easy for them to use.

I don't let words offend me.............it's actions that offend me.

Kerstin's comment didn't bother me, but it definitely caught my ear as a tired old cliche that she needs to retire for good. I don't get too attached to what the hosts say in their sales pitch frenzy. But I won't go so far as to say none of their words could possibly ever bother me; no one gets that blank check. However, as offending statements go, this one does not rank high up there on my annoyed scale.
