30 is the new 80, folks, when you’re a blond woman with short hair who enjoys talking into the camera. So what do you do to feel 29 again? Buy lots of pills. Take that, rheumatoid arthritis!
I don't understand this entirely–is she trying to say that the women in the commercials are 30, or that the commercials specifically taget 30 year olds. The women monologuing to the camera do in fact look older than 30 to me, so I don't see how the angle that SHaskins takes works with these commercials. Am I missing something here?
Equal Writes is a writing project that hopes to start a dialogue about feminism and gender issues on and off campus. Co-Editors Arlyn Katen '12, Sandra Mukasa '12, Alyssa Loh '12, and Ben Wainwright '14 aim to give a voice to young feminist writers with a diverse range of perspectives on some of the most important issues students face here, and in the world at large. We believe in equal rights and opportunities for women. We believe in powerful, passionate women. We believe that men can be excellent feminists too. And we believe that "feminism" is not a dirty word.
