Women's bodies

I've noticed over the years that there are a lot of ads for products like Vagisil on TV, especially on American channels. Women are always made to feel that there is something wrong with our bodies. We're supposed to believe nonsense like we smell like tuna and we need to buy special liquids to wash ourselves with to ensure that we don't smell "down there." Guess what; if you smell bad, either you don't bathe or there is something medically wrong with you.

I've also noticed how many ads there are on Canadian TV for special lubricants and condoms that are supposed to cause warmth and tingling for added pleasure. How about creating your own pleasure? If you need the bells and whistles with your lubricants and condoms, I'm guessing you don't have a very good sex life. Apparently, it's not the man's job to turn the woman on; the magic lubricants and condoms are supposed to do that!

Women don't deserve to feel badly about themselves, and they deserve good sex lives. Maybe if more women knew that, things would actually improve.
