Oh come on now!  Just be glad that, as males, we don't have to USE any
of those products.  I don't see any reason why women shouldn't get the
same "benefits" (such as they are) of advertising for products that
are specifically for their use as for all other products.

Actually, it's amusing how many commercials manage to completely avoid
any mention of the actual use of the products.  Toilet paper is
obviously designed to be used as a pillow and Preparation H is clearly
a tension reliever.

By the way, I recently saw a birth-control foam advertisement on
(I believe) WTBS -- the first actual broadcast of such an ad on television
that I can recall.  Fine with me.
