I replied to the Kellogg's folk.  I asked why on earth, if moms were the default here, the "Parents" link even exists?  I advance the notion that dads are parents as well, and could they please either change the URL to say /parents/, a trivial change at best, or change the link, to be more clear that they assume that only moms are parents.

Yes, world, it's possible to be offended on behalf of others*.

* It is also on behalf* of women, given that I dislike the assumption that moms are the parents the end, but I imagine that some poor beleaguered customer service rep is wondering why a woman is caring about men's feelings, so.

* That word suddenly looks ridiculous to me.

Why am I bothering with this?

In the grand scheme of things, I'm betting that the ongoing horror that is rape matters a wee bit more than text on a Pop Tarts website, but everything matters, on some level.  I mean, where do you think the big stuff comes from?  The sky?  Magically, everyone woke up one day to say "What a lovely day! Think I'll go subjugate and belittle some [people other than those like me]"?  Little things build up.  And as I have few spoons to go to rallies and work at shelters and things, I do what I can.

Good for you. I fear engaging with bureaucracy.
