I plan to reveal perceptions and expectations the general public had of women’s reproductive health through the evolution of feminine hygiene product ads. I will include ads that first show the purity,innocent,dainty ideals that are forced into women through the trend of white clothing. Then ads that show the public encouraged women to hide their menstrual products with unbranded packaging. I will also include ads marketing dangerous chemicals to women as safe and necessary to eliminate odors that “ruin marriages”. This is an example of how women are shamed for natural body processes. On top this, I will include more recent but still ridiculous ads to show the issue is still a current issue because they tend to objectify women and focus on how menstruating affects sex and men. To keep the video lighthearted, I will add sound effects and a clip of an SNL bit. At the end of the day, I’m glad to be a woman in the 21st century where we know more about women’s anatomy, anyone can be a doctor, and we have the technology where women can and should be comfortable despite our reproductive health cycles.
