A moment

May 16, 2005

I'm standing in the feminine hygiene aisle wondering why we still use such a silly euphemism and why condoms are in the same aisle--surely condoms are also a masculine hygiene item? Sitting in the center of the condom rack is a giant box of Super Heavy Duty trash bags, as though whomever had picked them up had changed their mind and gotten a box of condoms instead. This person would have been most assuredly male.

Doubtful. Men don't impulse buy unless it's in the electronics department.

Wait, you're suggesting that men, the same folks who are perfectly fine leaving their unwashed underwear lying around for days, who only wash dishes when they, their friends and the local stores all run out, who only notice dirt when they can no longer find the couch, should consider hygiene products?

What is this hy-giene you speak of?

Sounds more like some 16-year-old thinking "Hey, funny! We'll put garbage bags near the condoms 'cause it will be like, GIANT condoms! HAHA!"

And to be far too serious for my own good... I'm pretty sure straight men see condoms as something they are forced by women to wear. Thus in most men's minds it's is indeed a women's hygiene issue.
