		<description>Hehe, that&#039;s because women have always called the shots (sometimes stealthily).</description>

		<description>Reading this post reminded me how women call the shots at comedy clubs too: Whenever a couple is on a date at the club, the guy always makes sure his girl is laughing first before he laughs; he doesn&#039;t want to get in trouble for laughing at something &quot;inappropriate&quot;.</description>

		<description>When I first started I was encouraged to do the completely overdone sexually explicit pin up style to get more &quot;street cred&quot;...but I didn&#039;t want to paint women the way men wanted me to paint women, I wanted to do it my way. 

(even if I do like the look of electrical tape over the nipples)

But to your point, the recognition of my art/brand and thereby, the growth of my business is attributed to two things...tons of hard work AND lots of loyal, vocal women as my customers who enjoy what I do. 

None of us can create a style that resonates with everyone, but when you find a group of like-minded women who connect with your work, it can make all the difference in the world.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s the old joke. The man may be the head of the household but the woman is the neck; she can turn the head any way she chooses. 

Of course it&#039;s the women making the spending decisions.</description>

		<description>Tom Peters verbally slapped me into this reality too.  He wrote about Faith Popcorn, whose book EVEolution rocks.  Popcorn&#039;s Truth #1: &quot;Connecting your female customers to each other, connects them to your brand.&quot;  Reminds me of gapingvoid and Herd.

Did you read the Harvard Business Review&#039;s article, &quot;The Female Economy?&quot;  It says, &quot;in aggregate, women represent a growth market bigger than China and India combined.&quot;

Looks like you&#039;re onto something here.</description>

		<description>Hugh, i believe most men would be afraid to post on a topic like this.

If you study the history of women and spending trends you will notice that women have always been the dominate spenders, before women independence they spent the majority of the man&#039;s pay checks on the house, the car, the remodeling, the stove, the washer/dryer combo, the bedroom set, the bed, the couch, the dining room table, i would bet money that the woman was the driving force in each discussion, because in most cases the men decide if it works why fix it, and  when translated to art, less men will look at a bare wall and decide that it needs art covering it. 

Theresa art is interpretive, to many cats not enough cock can also mean: to many women not enough men , as in the ratio of people who buy his paintings, mind you im sure Hugh doesn&#039;t really care in the % so much as the number of people buying his stuff increases, in a perfect world  we would all have 6.7 trillion people buying from us 50% men 50% women.</description>

		<description>Theresa, I saw it as a metaphor for women outnumbering men. Maybe I&#039;m just not reading it right. I tend to oversimplify things.

I like your work very much, Mr.MacLeod. You make me laugh, and you make me think, both of which rank high w/me. Best, M.</description>

I love your cartoons in general, but hate the one at the top of this post. As a woman who loves cats, I don&#039;t think that way. I don&#039;t know any woman who has cats because she can&#039;t get sex. It&#039;s a stereotype men think about women. &#039;Oh she has cats because she can&#039;t get any.&#039; The guys who think that are delusional.</description>
