women's rights...dead soem say. not necessary. what about the media portraying women as sex-toys and must-be skinny airheads? what about the hushed embarassed tone associated with the word.....(shhh - period!. its time to change away from the nearly forced plucked eyebrows make up anorexia shaved legs stealthily hidden tampons and terms like slut whore bitch skank. listen to any rap song playing on the radio today and hear blatant suppression, bashing, and sexing of women. whether its singing the joy of beating your wife, or simply a tune commanding a girl to shake her ass and tits for the benifit of the men. our media constantly feeds us examples of women as objects used for the pleasure of men. the unecisary shame we put up with for having a vagina and a period is completely ludicrous and out-dated. its time to grow up. this isnt the middle-ages anymore people!

And as for periods being hushed, every commercial i see pretty much is for tampons and pads. and people don't all use tampons for hiding, i personally use one because i don't find it sanitary to sit on a pad full of dead eggs all day.

Make-up is also horrible because the products are often toxic and tested on animals.
Have you seen those advertisements on the Internet about weight loss? Almost all of them are for women to lose weight, showing almost-naken women doing things that would humiliate any real person. It's disgusting. And men are considered tough if they're heavy, but women are just considered ***** if they are heavy. That is definitely sexism.
Even if the women on sexy TV advertisements are okay with shocking people, many people do not like being shocked like this.
I completely support feminism. Way to go!
