I too find the "feminine product" ads irritating, though only mildly
so.  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!

"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?"
