Frankly, I think they're just dumb. "..so you too can feel just-washed fresh all day..." Gag. More like "..so you too can smell like a medicine cabinet all day..." But what I find much more offensive is the attitude of some (not all, not even most :-) ) men, and some women, toward PMS (pre-menstrual symdrome). In particular, an all-too-prevalent attitude is that if a woman is irritated about something, then it must be "that time of the month." Ack! Lauri "Well, I think you were out of line today. Please don't ever do that again." "Geez, what's wrong with you? That time of the month again?" "AAAAAAAARRRRRRGHHHHHHH!!!!!" "Yeah, I knew it. Can't you take something for that?"
