Mansplaining health care

• A real beauty bust. Dove is one of the originators of femveritising—the practice of harnessing feminism or "girl power" in advertising. And there are certainly aspects of some its iconic "Real Beauty" campaign that resonate. After all, the beauty industry has historically spent a lot of time making women feel bad about themselves, so it's refreshing to see any message of positivity and self-love.

But Dove took a wrong turn yesterday when it released its latest body wash bottles, which come in a variety of shapes to... well, I'll let the company explain: "From curvaceous to slender, tall to petite, and whatever your skin colour, shoe size or hair type, beauty comes in a million different shapes and sizes. Our six exclusive bottle designs represent this diversity: just like women, we wanted to show that our iconic bottle can come in all shapes and sizes, too," said Dove in a statement.

Not surprisingly, Twitter users had some fun with the new bottles. While the campaign isn't a misfire on the scale of Pepsi's recent "protest" commercial, it still feels silly at best, condescending at worst. I don't know about you, but I have never felt oppressed by the shape of my toiletry bottles—and I do not appreciate a company that so oversimplifies the complicated issue of how our society views women's bodies.

It's a good reminder: Companies that use feminist themes in their ads may well buy into some of the messaging they use and can even help spread important ideas. But at the end of the day, they create those campaigns for one reason—to sell you their stuff. Fortune

• Yates goes on the record. Testifying before Congress yesterday afternoon, former attorney general Sally Yates filled in several details about the chain of events that led to the firing of President Trump's former national security adviser, Mike Flynn. Yates says she knew that Flynn had misled the administration about his conversations with the Russian ambassador because she'd seen government intercepts of their talks—and that she told the White House counsel that having lied about those discussions made Flynn susceptible to Russian blackmail. She said she expected the White House to act quickly when she shared the information, yet Flynn was not fired until two weeks later. Fortune

• Mansplaining health care? A number of female lawmakers—including Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), and Kamala Harris (D-CA)—have publicly objected to the fact that there are 13 men and zero women working on the Senate's version of the health care reform bill. Fortune

• Reaching for the Sky. Wendy Walsh, one of the women who accused Fox News host Bill O'Reilly of sexual harassment, met with British regulator Ofcom yesterday. The former regular guest on The O'Reilly Factor is apparently lobbying for the U.K. to block Rupert Murdoch and Fox News parent 21st Century Fox from taking full control of Britain's pay-TV group Sky.

• A Clinton subtweet. Hillary Clinton fired off a tweet about the French election that did more than just congratulate Emmanuel Macron—it also took a swipe at the media. She called his win a "defeat to those interfering w/democracy," adding: "(But the media says I can't talk about that)" The aside is a reference to publications that slammed her for saying that the Russian hack was partly to blame for her loss of the 2016 presidential election.

• Bottom-up diversity. In many ways, TJX Cos.—parent company of off-price retailers T.J. Maxx and Marshalls—is a beacon of corporate diversity. More than three-quarters of employees are women, people of color make up more than half the workforce, and it is considered a top employer for gay and disabled employees.
