I hate the ad for those Tampax Compacts or whatever they're called, the tampons that are wrapped up really small. In the ad, the girl spills her purse, and the boy she's with asks what the tampon package is or something, and she tells him it's a sugar packet. Way to go, Tampax or whichever one you are. Thanks for instilling the shame of menstruation in yet more girls (and women), and making them think they can't expect men, especially their boyfriends, to be able to handle the fact that they bleed and that they carry tampons in their purses.

I want to start a progressive advertising company. Or something. Maybe buy every girl in the world a Keeper, a copy of the Vagina Monologues, and a hand mirror, along with a healthy dose of love and self-respect.
