Period. End of Sentence. A documentary about how women EXIST.

[nolabear]

If you can find a medium, watch it, please. My thread about the world not accommodating women and another here about women bosses come together in this incredible little half hour doc about the stigma of menstruation in rural India and how women are trying to help one another by creating a business and creating the simplest of supplies. It’s truly amazing.

3. If menstruation was something that happened to men, gov'ts the world over would provide for free

And the advent of this would be thought of as something that made them superior humans.

But since it happens to only women, they're shunned, thrown out of their own houses in some places, told they're dirty and disgusting, or just (at best) ignored.

Astounding how, worldwide, HALF the planet's population (women and girls) suffer such indifference and lack of basic care and human rights.

And the goddamned US is NO exception. Look at how PP was just defunded which denies mostly poor women access to healthcare. Meanwhile, men can buy viagra on the internet.

When Apple launched their AI, Siri, users in the US found that she (ironically) could find prostitutes and Viagra suppliers, but not abortion providers. Siri could help you if you’d had a heart attack, but if you told her you’d been raped, she replied “I don’t know what you mean by ‘I was raped.’”

I swear to God I cannot fathom how women don't just tell men to go to Hell. NO sex. NO babies. NO cooking or cleaning. NOTHING. Not until women have full human rights and full healthcare, including cheap or free sanitary supplies, birth control and safe, legal abortions EVERYWHERE at will. Anything less is UNACCEPTABLE and should result in women the World over denying men EVERYTHING until women and girls are treated like human beings.

Ugh. This one of the BIGGEST things that makes life on Earth SUCK.

Just to get an even break on surviving is ridiculous.
