Ryan: Culture obscures women’s sexuality
We live in a time when talk about sex education is more in-vogue than getting educated, because doing so means talking in detail about what it means to be sexually active. Sex education is a topic that is debated among many demographics, and we have all received — in one manner or another — the “wrap it up" talk. But as it comes time to apply this knowledge as sex becomes part of our lives, we are left to figure out the details on our own. An enormous deterrent in effectively educating about sex is the gender double standard regarding the social acceptability of being openly sexual. The most striking example of this double standard is in commercials that we so easily dismiss. An oral contraceptive commercial for Yaz stars three beautiful women at a cocktail party name-dropping chemical compounds, one of whom was able to attend because of the effects of Yaz.

Jan Marini Skin Research Suspends Sales of Popular Eyelash Products
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc. (JMSR; http://www.janmarini.com) today announced that it will voluntarily suspend the sale of its Age Intervention Eyelash Conditioner and Age Intervention Masses of Lashes Mascara products in the U.S. JMSR cited a patent infringement lawsuit by Allergan Pharmaceutical as one reason for the suspension. "We believe that it makes sense to suspend these products while we strategically review our options," said JMSR President & CEO Jan Marini. "We are assured that the Allergan allegations are unfounded. However, the lawsuit is a major distraction."
