So, ladies, you say you want a raise? How should you go about getting it?
First, you have to figure out how to compete with the guy in the next cubicle. After all, he went to a school almost as good as yours. His grades were nearly as good as yours, too. He works hard. In fact, most mornings, he's the second person in the office. You know this, because you're always first. He is young, ruggedly good looking, and he washes his balls with a manly but fresh sandalwood soap.
What to do?
Fortunately, the good folks at Women's Day and Summer's Eve have a few words of advice for you.

Yes , wash all the parts of you that you use at work (be professional ) . I free lance so I only wash "it" every other day with Lava soap and a wire brush to get the shame off . If you don't use glitter and listen to ZZ top at work then nobody employing you should be that openly aware of something beyond the description of your title . I like new car smell but that's just me .

More funny than evil. Is it any more offensive than the average sitcom which makes every father a complete ignorant dolt or the the beer commercial in which men are sex obsessed cave men? I dont think any young girls are going to get the wrong message from society from this.

Turn on the Disney channel. watch a show like Icarly. Its rather funny but in it almost every adult or family figure is a blithering idiot. Not that I am no unfeeling towards the the point of view here that this ad is sexist but I think its small fry compared to the attitudes towards the sexes portrayed in the media or entertainment industry. They were just trying to sell some product not nearly as offensive as giant breasted women in costumes selling beer.

I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt, just a very tiny benefit though, and assume they mean that cleanliness yields self-confidence.
Even so, that was a rather lame way for them to attempt to attract professional women to buy their product.

I have a secretarial pool of approximately 12 young, highly competitive women. As a man responsible for the growth of these young team mates, having a fresh, clean smelling vagina is very important too me. If they expect to be promoted and earn the raises they desire, personal hygiene is a must!

First: Use a little grapefruit. Yup, just rub a cut grapefruit half under the breasts, on the neck behind the ears, and your wrists. Studies have shown that the smell of grapefruit makes men believe you are up to ten years younger.
Second: find the most naturally smelling vanilla extract lotion or maybe perfume. I find lotion better. For some reason my outings are more productive when I use lotion. Studies have shown that men find vanilla the most attractive scent. Why? Because it triggers their hunger sense. You smell like moms vanilla cookies; they come over for a bite. Seriously!
Third: Get a real pheromone perfume. They can actually be got for less then $50. A dab behind the ears and neck again (guys/girls will get a big hit when the smell you there), and between the breasts (perspiration helps it defuse in the air).
Warning, it you splash it on, the entire place will be full of it, and everyone will be randy. You want the attention on you, so less is better.
For other hints on sexual attrition, e-mail me at, blah, blah, blah, etc, etc.

The whole "I'm a desert dish" bit has never had any appeal to me, it tends to make me want to chew gum,....and I look around for the bakery. Women that smell like -fresh- sweat from exercise,...a splash of burgundy and dry grass in the wind.....now you have a good recipe!

Ah you actually have a point there. As long as a woman’s face is not all brown spotted, otherwise messed up etc. the best facial makeup is less. Let the guy see the uneven natural red on your cheeks. Let him see your face as natural as you can. Why? A man sees nice natural skin as a sign of youth, and his animal brain says, “She can make kids, I WANT TO DO HER!!!”
Even less eye makeup can many times be a bigger turn on. It says I’m young; I don’t need all that paint, to the suitors’ animal brain.
My point is, your natural, probably youthful, blue gene wearing, in the wheat field country girl has direct connections to appeal as well.
One must adapt to their environment to bag a kill, figuratively of course. I admit I am a sexual predator, but I only hunt big game (well not TOO BIG, OUCH). Giggles!

Hate to bow out of any opportunity to bemoan sexism, but I see the blatancy in this "magazine" being first and foremost a shopping catalogue as a bigger issue, which is why buying this brand-specific product is on the top of the list. How I basically see the subtext is, "you can read some self-evident but actually relevant advice by point #8, but first, a word from our sponsors/owners"
the mention of sandlewood-smelling balls was their attempt at the non-sexism. uhg corporatism is disgusting...

Thanks Unimatrix, you've done it again..... I posted this a day or two ago, but hey that wouldn't matter now would it? I won't be any more petty on this issue but it is kinda shitty, and why my posting of it, showed up almost nowhere on Current except the page itself I'll never know, you sure seemed to get noticed for it.
http://current.com/entertainment/comedy/92633170_hey-ladies-want-a-raise-wash-yo...
Maybe it's to much to ask but some of us use the "search" feature so they don't step on one anothers toes.
Well here since I'm not the biggest jerk I'll even share it for you....

I read the original posting and sent a link to it along to some journalist friends of mine to raise awareness of this completely ignorant and sexist ad. So it did get read/noticed even if it was under comedy.
But honestly instead of biting on Unimatrix shouldn't you say thanks for using some of your capital with Current to get the message unburied from the comedy section and instead posted to the top of the news section so that it gets more views and raises more awareness of the issue? And just sent her a private email to say fuck off thanks for stealing my post--because putting it out there in the open forum just detracts from the overall message and makes you seem like a jerk.

I'm totally in agreement with this. It's the MESSAGE that's of importance, not WHO delivered it. And as you said, it's where it now should be. I've also "distributed" this submission to many other sources, so more people can see what still goes on in 2010, for god's sake.
Uni, thank you for this submission. I've added other tags/groups, along with... oh, never mind... just thank you. This does matter!
