WTF? I’m always too busy to have my hair cut. Haircuts hardly ever happen in my universe . Who are these fucknecks to say what ALL women are like? Not to mention that getting a haircut isn’t as expensive, takes less time, and is a lot less emotionally and physically draining than getting a Pap, but of course these dumbshits wouldn’t know anything about that. (Nor would they care, I suspect….It’s all about men controlling our bodies, as usual.)

though on the other hand you would never see such an ad in the US simply because any reference to “women’s bits” would be protested as obscene

And yet, you can wear T-shirts touting “Bringing breast awareness back into the workplace!“

I bet they weren’t even thinking of how *snarg* retarded they sound.

Beth, please do not use that word as an insult here. (Or anywhere, come to that.) It’s ableist and offensive.

OFFS. I get haircuts between semesters, when I have time.

*thinks about the number of prostate exam campaigns she’s seen*

*thinks*

One.

I’ve seen more ads for erectial dysfunction.

Also, YES to taking down the crap conflation of beauty with health. I just had an argument a few weeks ago with a typical progressive dude who I’m friends with, and he was trying to justify his beauty fascism (aka judging women based on how they look) by saying that what’s important to him is how HEALTHY a woman looks . Because obviously, you can totally tell a woman’s red blood cell count just by looking at her. *roll eyes and bang head on desk* And of course, it’s totally cool to discriminate against a woman because she has cancer or asthma and toss her in the pile of “ugly chicks.” Of course, his brand of beauty fascism is hippie beauty fascism, which he feels is kinder and gentler but really just means approving of girls with dreadlocks or piercings while shunning anybody who’s too trendy. Pretty much all the other requirements are mostly the same, with some minor forgiveness for not being superskinny, but otherwise it was the same crap in a different package.

They probably figured that girls don’t feel comfortable talking about their “bits” with men, so maybe having men on TV who didn’t think vaginas were scary would help encourage women to open up on the subject.

Granted, absolute FAIL when it comes to the actual application of their idea, but I can see where they’re coming from.
