On The Media: Thoughts on the Little Pink Pill

I would like to focus on the issue regarding the "little pink pill" or the new drug known as female Viagra. It catches my attention because it is a lot like and as a matter of fact is like the popular phenomenon plaguing social media today, and that being equal rights.

Listening to the story it was evident that some woman felt it wasn't right that men had a drug that helped with sexual dysfunctions and woman didn't; to me it sounds a lot like the debate that woman don t have the same opportunity as men. What interesting was what the sources had to say about the drug especially about the false advertisement. They claimed that 26 different drugs were approved for men when really only 5 or 6 were approved. She also pointed out that the idea or pill was sold for a large sum of money shortly after it was proposed or presenting kind of giving off the vibe that this is a political stunt or a call to the feminists instead of actually trying to help theses woman that had these sexual short comings.

Brooke actually mentioned that the drug itself may not be as helpful as these people assume because of natural causes. She pointed out that as woman get older, and are in a long enduring relationship their sexual desire and sometimes even libido can be affected due to that. With this particular situation I feel like there is definitely a lack of Civil Discourse. It seems like people are trying to push the drug just to say that woman are on the same playing field as men and have the same type of products. I agree that it is more of a political stunt more than anything. From what I observed in listening its almost as if the overlords that created the product don't really care about fixing these problems in woman but instead are trying to sell a product and one up the opposition.

The Physical aspect of this is the woman actually taking this pill to boost sexual moral and falling into the placebo affect, by actually making themselves believe it because of marketing.

The psychological part is the placebo affect itself in willing yourself to believe that it works although there are no real results, and believing something just because it is new and mainstream.

The cultural element is the fact that there are so many stereotypes out there regarding sexism and inequality amongst men and woman. That's what I got from it and that seems to be the underlying issue that men  have a sexual enhancer and woman do not.

Social is the buzz that the pink pill is getting around the world and the huge community of social media users. And the experiment they ran with woman who consume alcohol to prove f the drug really worked.

Temporal: It was brought forward at a vulnerable time where equal rights is at the top of the food chain, especially amongst men and woman.
