I often wonder about men who create things for women. For years I have been plagued with my last refrigerator purchase. It works well, it is designed well, it is easy to clean inside and out except for the door handles.
These door handles have been the bane of my existence from the "git-go". They are made from a textured substance that allows the oil from one's hands to build up or food to cling into the texture and are almost impossible to get clean. Some times I get so frustrated with them that I want to take the engineer who designed this refrigerator and lock him in a room with hundreds, no thousands of grimy handles and make it his life's work to keep them clean. I mean if the rest of the refrigerator has surfaces inside and out that are smooth and easy to clean, why make the area that has the most use, i.e. the door handles the hardest to clean?
Along my lifespan of 73 years there have been many such things that have irked me along these lines, too many to note here or too many to dwell on. However, a new advertisement has come upon the scene and though it is a product I have not used for many years now I am sure the advertisement had to be created by some guy somewhere who thinks perhaps the user of the product, who will solely be women, do not think.
This product happens to be a sanitary napkin and over my many years on this planet I have approved of the efficiency and progress of the design and convenience of the product.
Yet I am sure no man has ever been the victim of the pain and inconvenience of those 4 to 6 days a month that a menstruating woman has to endure to design an advertisement telling a woman to have a "happy" period. Listen, bozo marketing guy, there is never anything "happy" about ones menstrual cycle, period!
