Does Old Spice Body Wash make men more attractive? While the scent is aromatic, the product itself will not guarantee luxuries that their commercials say you will get. The commercial I am referring to is the one narrated by Isaiah Mustafa, also known as, “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like.” This body wash does not have the magical powers that are fundamental to making you rich, famous, or better looking. The only thing this bottle of soap can do for you is make you not smell like a foot. Commercials

The topics of sex and gender are very complicated ones; Anne Fausto-sterling focuses on the battle that people who are intersex face. Fausto-Sterling revisits her previous report from 1993 updating and clarifying her previous statements. In her first report she argues that the binary does not truly represent the sexes and that it only works to further marginalize us (including those of us who identify in normative ways) and prevents full equality. She updates her argument to clarify to those of a

For centuries the human race has divided themselves into two categories, male and female. This concept has gone unquestioned until now, but society now understands there are more than male and female, but also intersex.

woman’s body is merely an “object” that should be kept “pure” and “clean”. Heaven forbid one realizes that the female body oozes and gushes like any other! The commercial simply reduces a woman down to one part: their vagina. It also reduces straight male/female relationships to pure lust, exemplified by “…over the ages and throughout the world men have fought for it, battled for it, even died for it.” IT. Apparently meaning that the “V” is the most important thing about a woman and her body. Forget
