Ehh, maybe I phrased that wrong. I'm bad with words. lol But I mean like both of them are used to a more black and white world (mostly due to their family backgrounds, Sam less so than Carrie. I don't know much about Sam but she is from a Hindu family who do have issues with her dating anyone who isn't Hindu. But I know def in Carrie's life, she hasn't had much exposure to a lot of things, having been even more sheltered than I was) where men are men and women are women. It wasn't really til I got Carrie into all my fandoms that she started getting more open about these ideas. But she still gets kinda confused and a little unsure how to react to things out of the normal. But she is learning and I am pretty proud of her for it. Its not really her fault that she hasn't had much knowledge of these things til now.
I mean yes there are the ads you speak of and models but I can't really see either of them really paying much attention based on their interests. And in my opinion most of that tends to be not as extreme as the Japanese J-Rockers and Zuka actresses I've introduced them to. They are still a bit bawfled at some of it. But they both have been pretty accepting, at least compared to some other people I've come across (like my parents).
