You are. you brought my username into it and decided it was relevant to the thread. I asked you to clarify yourself. You said I wasn’t terf beacause I said tampons (which you’ve taken to mean blood!) shouldn’t be in the toilet. The implication being I would be a terf if I was fine with blood in a toilet. If you don’t want to explain yourself then you shouldn’t have made the comment in the first place.
No, the implication is that you are not a radical feminist, but I have already clarified this to you upthread.
Again, I apologise as you seem to struggle with basic reading comprehension or you would not have missed the bit in the op's posts where she explains that she does not flush tampons. She had an accident and then her husband made me feel like I was disgusting because there was blood in the loo
So the fact that you would "bollock" your kids for leaving shit in the toilet, or tampons yes, you compared period blood on a tampon to shit wasn't relevant. He was disgusted by her period, not concerned about the pipes or the ecology.
basically, what you said in your post was that it was OK for her a grown woman to receive a "bollocking" from her husband for her disgusting act of unintentionally leaving a tampon in the toilet. She was not "bollocked" for fucking the pipes, she was "bollocked" for her period.
Now as I explained, the OP is an adult and this is the first time it has ever happened. So bearing in mind she isn't a repeat offender it doesn't make any sense to go around giving bollockings to anyone. Any normal person will say, oh no, we got a floater. But, no, not you. You're special.
Re: your username. Our entire conversation.
you clearly aren't a "terf" because that would mean a feminist who could consider the taboos around periods for five second before saying women should be bollocked like children by their husbands.
Also might want to read up on the definition of a terf if you think it’s anything to do with the taboos around periods.
Firstly, it means trans exclusive radical feminst. All the radical feminists I know have some pretty strong thoughts on the way women are meant to hide their periods. Secondly, you are failing at your readings if you haven't noticed that women are being told that periods aren't a female issue anymore and we shouldn't discuss them, because it's triggering and not all women have periods. (in other words, as ever, 'people' don't want to hear about them because they're yucky and offensive. How times have changed).
So what youre saying riiiiggt is that if I said it was fine to leave blood on the toilet I would be a terf. Got it.
This didn't happen. No one is discussing it. You seem a bit confused about everything. the OP has responded to say that her husband was grossed out that he saw blood in her toilet. I don't know any radical feminists who think you need to intentionally bleed on your toilet. There, have I clarified the thing we weren't discussing yet?
Do you get it now? I said you aren't a radical feminist, therefore you obviously can't be a "terf" as you are struggling to meet the minimum requirement radical feminist. Because a feminist would consider the taboos around periods and the husband's reaction. Radical feminists generally, not terfs specifically. Though being a subset of radfems they also are capable of understanding this.
Then you decided to tell me, who already knows what terf means that I should read up on "terf". And then I said, if you had done some reading on it (even though again, I wasn't talking about 'terfs', I was talking about radfems) you'd have a better understanding about the taboos around mensuration at the moment within the tra movement.
Now in the spirit of MN I am off to have some
and I heartily wish you DFOD.
