"Supports vaginal health" products.

There is a TV commercial running lately for products (yes, plural) that "support vaginal health."

Besides being incredibly sexist, it is also not even being helpful. In the ad the checker at the store, does a mock whisper of the word "odor" and the female shopper nods knowingly.

What is this, 1950?

I remember the revolutionary advice in my copy of "Our Bodies, Ourselves" by the Boston Women's Health Collective in 1970. 1970!! It's advice (IIRC): "wash your bottom once a day." Presumably both sexes could benefit from this advice. If there is a medical problem, you can seek the help of a (hopefully enlightened) gynecologist.

My grown kids benefitted greatly (evident from the way our paperback version got "worn"from that wonderful manual. Now my granddaughters are seeing this stupidity again. And my grandson, who is 9. Sheesh!

You know it. Blindfolded and placed in a room of DU women and you’d swear you were at Fisherman’s Wharf.

This is what the malaise primitive stinks like.
