Shit.

I wonder why laxatives always market towards women? I've never heard of constipation as a "female problem". I've had a number of girl-talky relationships over the years where you talk about personal shit (loonie in the pun jar) like that, but no one has ever said anything about constipation. I thought maybe it was a getting older thing, since the women in the commercials are generally cast as "older", but my mother doesn't know anything about it either.

Or maybe the mental image of someone's hairy old father straining on the toilet to take a dump is just too unappetizing.
