Okay, maybe I jumped the gun a bit. I'm not sure why you're repeating the "that's all women can do" part. I don't think that's the specific complaint. Perhaps you can tell me why having women on the list of things, bolded no less, is a sell

Ah, I knew that pg was. Don't get me wrong, I think what you guys are doing is great. But just by the pattern and placement they seem like testimonials, when they were not said in testimony.
