History of Feminism

What's wrong with your vagina? A lot apparently. Fortunately for us, medical science and Big Pharma have come up with a range of solutions to our imperfections. Perusing the list, my reaction to many of the listed issues was "just take a shower." My shower, however, is not enough to combat this egregious defect:
Solution: Vaginal Bleaching and Dying
Many women are under the impression that it's OK to have a vagina colored vagina. They're wrong, of course. They should be pink, and exceptionally so. What's a woman with a vagina colored vagina to do? Bleach it. Accomoclitic Laser and Wax Studio in Lakewood, Colorado, purveyors of an anal bleaching product called "Pink Wink," also sell something called Bleach Babe, a cream that promises to do away with the "natural discoloration surrounding the exterior of the vagina." Bleach Babe contains Kojic acid, the same ingredient that keeps salmon meat pink. South Beach Solutions sells a similar lightening product with Sodium hydroxide, which can also be found in drain decloggers and septic tank cleansers.
If bleaching fails to render your vagina the color of a Barbie Dream House, you can try My New Pink Button, billed as a "Genital Cosmetic Colorant that restores the "Pink" back to woman's genitals." Because vaginas that aren't vibrantly pink are old and sad. My New Pink Button is meant to be painted onto the vagina (it comes in powder form and must be scooped up with a moist Q-tip like device) and lasts 48 to 72 hours. After which, one supposes, users must reapply in order to maintain the youthful status of their genitals.
No comment about those women for whom pink doesn't quite coordinate with the rest of their skin. For other problems besides the absence of a youthful, rosy glow, see:

We all need to 'adopt' a young woman and let her know to focus on that which she and accomplish and not what her vajayjay looks like.
Seriously- I have a theory - if a man is in 'that moment' and he's turned off because lady town isn't vajazzled then he needs to be tossed away. Seriously - what MAN - supposed grown assed man is worrying about this?
My words are 'cautious' so as to not offend any passing MRAs.

Seriously?! WFT is up with this shit? How unnatural do women have to become to be acceptable to men these days. I have been celibate for years by choice because I have just become so disgusted and fed up. Honestly, it doesn't seem like much of a sacrifice.
