“Menstruation is the only blood that is not born from violence, yet it’s the one that disgusts you the most.” —Maia Schwartz
الحيض هو الدم الوحيد الذي لا يولد من العنف، ومع ذلك فهو الدم الأكثر إثارة لاشمئزازك “.
-مايا شوارتز
Those of you decrying “ewwww” and “booo” to this image are ignorant to the fact that in many countries, menstruation is taboo. It is a common myth held by many religious people and institutions that a woman cannot offer prayers, take part in religious ceremonies, and is forbidden from touching sacred objects or being permitted to enter a place of worship.
You are ignorant to the fact that in many places, a menstruating women is considered cursed, impure, or sick.
You are ignorant to the fact that many women and girls are excluded from social groups and certain environments, including from their families and homes. Many women and girls are sent to “menstrual huts” during menstruation.
Women’s very lives are sacrificed to the altar of menstrual myths and social exclusion based on our bodies and its functions.
She bears the cross of her ultimate sin, her femaleness.
FYI, Danica Roem (from the post toward the middle) is the transwoman mentioned in the last post. Her opponent repeatedly and insistently misgendered her during the race, and refused to debate her. That’s why “Bob is my constituent now” is simultaneously classy as fuck and one of the sickest burns of all time.

SPACE LESBIANS GONNA COLONISE MARS, MAKE IT A BEAUTIFUL SAPPHIC UTOPIA ❤
its actualy really fascinating, the reason they are considering making the mission to mars all female ACTUALLY doesnt have to do with “impure sexual thoughts” or anyhing it has to do with a multitude of factors, for example (cis) women astronauts tend to be smaller and require less food, nasa also did a series of studies showing that in groups, all woman groups showed better cooperation and teamwork than mixed or all men groups, and also probably the most interesting reason is that (cis) mens eyesight is damaged in space travel for reasons we dont even understand yet, for some strange reason the vast majority of men who have been into space have suffered damage to their eyesight and yet almost no women have had this issue, and scientists are still trying to figure out why but in the meantime sending men into space for long periods of time is a huge concern because they may go blind over time … just thought that that headline was a little reductionist and sensationalist so i had to comment, that being said tho…
