Baby Fetish
What is this Clorox ad trying to say about the status of women in the modern era?
We totally get the rest of them. The twenties/thirties liberated flapper, the forties USO gal, the 50’s blonde bombshell movie actress, the sixties mod chick, the seventies career woman…all of them doing fun, exciting things that symbolize the age in which they lived. And then the preggo at the end. Does this mean that the very best we can hope for is to have lots of babies??? Seriously, why on earth would a pregnant woman symbolize the new millennium woman? This was from People magazine, not a mommy magazine. What is going on?
