Advertising back in the day.

People (have and will) call it sexism in advertising. I call it the flavour of the day. Back then, this was how women were viewed. It would have been folly on the part of the advertising agencies, had they tried selling them business planners, calculators, and chemistry sets. 

The tampax ad in particular is sure to have resolved a concern that plagued erstwhile women. Nevertheless, their typesetting is downright terrible if it were a poster. If it was a magazine page, then the font ought to be have been larger, and the copy much more concise. 

Anywhoo, it’s a fun glance. Check them out, here!

Why do you let those judgments affect your own, about yourself? Don’t you know your own story? Don’t you know what kind of life you have lived?

Why would you let lay judgments of others sway you?

Forming judgments and opinions are a part of human nature. It is our defence mechanism, and allows us to perceive things as individuals.

So, instead of going around asking people to not judge you, tell yourself to not get swayed by what people say. You don’t need to tell everyone your story. You need to be sure of it yourself.
