A few highlights from our reading this week:
- Because your vagina is never good enough as is: advertisements for tightening cream at Copyranter.
- Efforts to develop and distribute an improved female condom (funded by the MAC AIDS fund).
- Pubic hair: to shave or not to shave?
- The Onion describes a typical menarche ceremony in the U.S.: Girl Welcomed To Womanhood With 4-Page Pamphlet
- The gender politics of pee.
Regarding tightening creams, it’s hard to believe, but other companies make these as well. There’s China Shrink Cream, Liquid Virgin and Like a Virgin Cream!
And it’s not just in India…the last one is sold by an Avon-like company in the US. Check out this, and the links below it.
