I'm surprised no one cares to mention the obviously offensive new "mother nature" Tampax commericals which depict a woman (mother nature) giving a box to another woman stating it's her 'monthly gift'. The entire commerical is so ridiculous:

From beginning to end the whole commerical makes periods seem like something "mother nature" uses to torture women. The entire purpose of having a period is to inconvience them and cause discomfort. In the end mother nature says "Newlyweds!" in which we're left to deduct that mother nature wants to cause the couple distress due to the woman having her period.
Excuse me, but as a woman I am very happy to have my period. Yes there are bad sides to it, but if the choice of having cramps or the ability to have children, I'd of course choose children. There is no "being" that "creates" periods to cause pain for women, and that is not the purpose. I hate how this commericals tries to portray it as nothing but a painful experience to be avoided and hated.
When a women loses her period (before menopause) that's a sign that's something wrong with her body. Anorexics can lose their period from near starvation, having your periods is a sign of health, it's a good thing.
And what's even more offensive and a total slap in the face is that they try to make it to be a joke! How comical it is that women experience pain during their period, how comical it is that women even have a period. That commerical is totally disgusting and offensive.
