feministing is having a "most disturbing product" poll. The products, from past mentions on the blog, range from pure misogyny to "only" making money by making women feel bad about themselves.
One expression of misogyny is a woman toilet seat recently sold on ebay.
The profiting-on-shame product, Vaginal Cleansing Film is "like a big ole Listerine breath strip for your pussy...available in: Chamomile, Island Breeze, Fresh Flowers, and Baby Powder."
The manufacturer's press release "Dump the douche...there's a modern, convenient alternative...the first truly new delivery system for women's personal hygiene in over a generation" evokes the first line of John Varley's Steel Beach: "The penis is obsolete!"
