Woman have worked hard to overcome the stereotype that we’re whiny, naggy, shrill, and obsessed with our periods. Then along comes this Midol ad to erase all of our progress with one sentence: “My uterus is falling out!!”
Besides not doing anything for our cause, that uterus statement is disturbing. What kind of cycles is this woman having? She might want to see a doctor about that.
If you find a link to any of these, please let me know!
1. The Midol commercial where one woman says she’d kill for a brownie, and her friend says, “Ohh…she’s menstrual!”
2. The Betty Crocker (I think) instant cake mix ad where someone says “This torte is divine!”
3. I referred to this in a previous post, but I’m still also looking for the Pillsbury ad that uncomfortably implies that the middle-aged couple is going to be doing some experimenting in the bedroom.
