Even the vaginal tightening gel requires regular tightening exercises for results
Thanks to my good friend Navjit Kandola of Tender Logic for posting this on Facebook. It’s an entertaining ad for a ‘vaginal tightening gel’ that, according to its website, will tighten your vaginal muscles (but only with regular vaginal tightening exercises) by getting rid of dead skin cells and increasing circulation.

Women in the media
How women are portrayed in the media is an interesting and often complex topic with layers of internalized sexism. Obviously there are offensive and degrading representations of women, and media, like most of the industries, is dominated by men.

As a woman who is also a part of the media I completely agree that it is vital to have more women in positions of power not only in the media, but also in government and regulating bodies.
I hope you enjoy this short video about Miss Representation, and that it can help bring about some thought-provoking conversation and hopefully some change in the media environment.
