The commercial for Hasbro's Rose Petal Cottage shows us:
- girls are homemakers and mothers
- that taking care of a home "is a dream, dream dream!"
- the cottage is nothing but pink, yellow and other girly/pastel colors
- girls are to cook, clean, host guests and take care of children
Ways to revamp the commercial:
- bring in boys
- show the girl coming home from work and the boy taking care of the home
- show the girl and boy doing house work TOGETHER
- bring the girl outside of the house: working in the yard, in the garage or on the car (tasks usually left for the man of the house)
- change the colors of the house to a more gender neutral colors or paint it to look like an actual house
