as in, i can go to a male gynecologist without batting an eye. i can be observed by a learning male gyno (i think they're in their third year of med school?) without minding at all. i can talk about all sorts of awful, personal, icky things with them. but put a boy behind the CVS counter and i get all nervous and weird. he's not a professional - he doesn't get to know this about me. and what does the pimply teenager go home and tell his friends? women buy the most awful things. you think they're normal and then you look in the little basket. why can't they have vaguer names? less explicit packaging? it's a damn good thing you don't have to make eye contact to make a purchase.

and the thought sort of flickers across my head, i could wear a burka the next time i came in here. and the next thought sort of follows it by, how funny would it be to come in in a burka and buy all sorts of lube and bulk-packaged condoms and all the other embarrasing things one could possibly think of - douches and extra-extra-large tampons and enema-thingies and preparation H and back supports and diarrhea medicine and constipation medicine and midol and toilet-declogger and bad breath stuff and stinky-feet stuff and bunion thingies and snoring aids and just everything.
