The question you need to ask is - How did they get my email address?

Then figure out how to not give it out. Just about any time a site is giving away something free and it asks for an email addy - you can expect spam.

And when you do get spam, always unsubscribe. Keeps down the repeat spammers.

Yes, the spammers don't know your gender, so they send everything to everybody.

I'm kind of surprised that they couldn't assume that sgt stryker is a guy, then again people who go into advertising are just marginally smarter than politicians
