In my opinion, this article is faulty. It makes assumptions that I think are a bit far-reaching, at this point. It's not taking cost per unit into consideration on either side ('fitb per oz' versus overall price) and there are a number of items that are not on your every day list. I, personally, would agree with the conclusion of the article... just not based off the data they presented. I have seen more than one item that was more expensive just because it's target audience was female. Also, most/all presented items are name brands, and I can say that I don't know any one person that buys all name brand, all the time. I assume there are likely people on my friends list that do, but I haven't confirmed it. *shrug* Interesting attempt, though - thanks for sharing the article.
