Below: FEMININE DISCHARGE
is an oxymoron, advertising people's moronic
attempt to gild the non-lily. It's like calling a scar that disfigures the
face just another form of beauty. Right. Companies should drop
the "feminine" nonsense; the word clashes with everything
the girl has learned about it and makes her suspect a trick. She's right!
This dishonesty permeates the whole culture of menstruation
in America and undermines women's confidence in themselves.
