Lady Journalist Contemplates Putting Mints In Vagina In Name Of Journalism

When male journalists go deep, they go to Iraq. When female journalists go deep, they put a “vagina mint” in their hoo-ha. Since we here at The Frisky are ahead of the curve on all things vagina-related, we told you about Linger vagina mints way back in August. They’re like Altoids for your vagina. We didn’t try the product ourselves, because our cooters are fresh like that, but we did ask some dudes what they thought of the idea. Mostly, their responses were, like, “Ew, gross.” Over at Mother Jones, writer Jen Phillips got herself a tin of vagina Altoids and almost took the product for a test-drive. Then she read the box, which says they’re “for novelty use only.” So, wary of a yeast infection, she decided not to Linger. That’s gonzo journalism for you? [Mother Jones]

Yeah, that’s a yeast infection in a tin.

That sentence just made me feel a bit gross all over. I know it’s intended as a joke, but it also seems like something a Frisky writer would read in a men’s blog and then post about it’s questionable parallelism. Come on, Frisky, I know you can do better than that.

*Those sentences. There are two of them.

I totally agree with thick, the male/female journalist comparison was insulting, not funny. First of all, female reporters go to war zones too, take Christiane Amanpour for example. Second it implies a superiority on the part of men: they’re doing the serious work while women just care about lighthearted or silly things.
Sorry for the rant… I usually really like the articles on here.

My ex used a cherry lifesaver on me once. He enjoyed it, and there were no nasty side-effects, but I haven’t pushed my luck and tried it again.
As you can imagine, there were plenty of “cherry” jokes.

this sounds… gross. if a girl isnt funky, she tastes good. if shes funky, a mint is going to make her taste mint-funky…

I have one advice - wash yourself up really good.
