National Museum of Scotland - people who menstruate

Anyone can comment on that blog, looks like.

An exhibtion on social history of periods would be interesting. The whole post (and exhibitionl) is a promo for one tampon and pads mmanufacturer. Plus chance for publicly funded institution to erase women.

What baffles me is the number of young females spouting this stuff or putting 'preferred pronouns' on their email footer. At work I never encounter men who feel the need to justify themselves like that.

It’s interesting how comfortable these national institutions are with using dehumanising language in relation to women.

But in an article that talks about the social stigma of periods, it's interesting how a very new social stigma is evident - using the word 'woman'.

It is sneakier than that: It is a redefinition of that word into a floating feminine soul feelings which anyone may have. So 'woman' is no longer anything to do with being exposed to sexism, misogyny, sex discrimination etc., or anything to do with possessing a female body and the experiences that come with it and how it affects us, but equally easily achieved by wearing makeup, a dress, high heels, and possibly liking feeling submissive, emotional, nurturing, and passive (all parts of the definition of 'feminine').

This is an enormously large change which has been imposed on all of us without any public consultation, and its consequences for feminist activism and women's rights are equally enormous. And bad.

But they are being inclusive toward the 0.2% or whatever of people who refuse to be seen as women even though they are female adults.
