Talk about truth in adverting.
You can’t get a raise if your vagina smells.

The worst kind of commentary is a faux-intellectual interpretation of this ad. I’m more offended that people still read Woman’s Day. What happened to print being dead?
“Mad Men” 2010 version…
Exactly.
I like how they put a woman in the ad that will most likely never have a smelly vagina– it’s akin to advertising health insurance with pictures of 20 yr olds.
They need to put my aunt Chickies picture in there– it’s like “Damn– go get it done now!!”
Poor aunt chickies.
Seriously, you can’t get a raise if you smell like ANYTHING — roses, lilies, Old Spice. If I can smell you, I’m not focused on your work.
I just wish some of the commentary out there would focus on asking people to call their Senators and push for the Paycheck Fairness Act. When you earn equal pay for equal work, you don’t need to read Woman’s Day to learn how to ask for a raise.

The third one is my favorite.

A lot of the blogs I follow have covered this; but none so succinctly.
The real world is tough. Messages are confusing. Math is hard.

OK, that’s like the third news story I’ve seen this week that covered a woman’s career/career path AND her lady business.

That Huffpo article opens more questions than it could ever answer. Like: what the hell is the marzipan layer? And, did they count/survey how many men doing the same thing?
OMG, I’ve never slept with my bosses.
Now I’m my own boss. Oh wait, maybe I have.
Now all I can think about is pie. You shouldn’t expect anyone to remember anything your talking about the moment you mention pie.
