Oliver Bonas and period products

[VirusSchmirus]

FEMALES
WOMEN
GIRLS

Why are those words so bloody (pun intended) hard to say?

So no, I won't be donating.

Women, women, women, women. Girls!

"People who bleed". Fuck me. Everyone bleeds if you poke them hard enough with something pointy. These stupid phrases!

Got this email too and was sad to have guessed correctly that the correct language would be missing 😡

People who bleed? My son was bleeding last week when he cut himself. He'll be delighted to know he has rights.

People who bleed. Won't someone think of the robots? 🥲

We don't fucking bleed either - it's the physical process of shedding the lining of the uterus.

This stripping back of language is utter shite. Even the NHS say its a monthly bleed - IT'S NOT A BLEED. If we only bled, we could put a fucking plaster on it, use targeted physical pressure to prevent the leakage of blood from the body, and frankly with the severity of my periods, I'd be dead in no time with the volume of blood loss it compares with.

We don't prescribe the combined Pill or the coil for a cut to the arm or leg.

Without a womb, we don't have periods.

And only the female sex have wombs.

For fucks sake.

Where the world is built for people who must not be identified, whose collective name must not be mentioned.

How can we know who this world should be built for?

🤯

When my husband was bleeding from his bottom he was admitted to hospital for a week until it stopped, and subjected to some rather invasive medical examinations, no one thought to offer him a sanitary towel though 🤔

Fucking idiots.

Where the world is built for people who must not be identified, whose collective name must not be mentioned.

Quite.

Fuck off, Oliver Bonas.

Damn. <sulks and goes to empty online shopping cart>

I mean, who do they imagine is going to donate? Women? Why would they think that?

I think the words they're looking for except for women is 'menstruate' or 'have periods.

It's not the point but toilet roll isn't free either and that's for a natural process.

My sentiments precisely.

Toilet roll is free in public toilets and in toilets provided in workplaces and other similar settings. And the issue is that sanitary products are essential for only half the population, who have no choice as to whether to use them or not.

Oh FFS 🤦‍♀️. I feel so sorry for migrants who don't speak much English. The world seems designed to baffle them.

I think this fuckery is the work of Bloody Good Period.

What gibberish. This could have been written in so many better ways anyway. What a load of shite.

Yes, I checked. IDK about Oliver Bonas, I don't even know what it's for, but the bullshit language is all Bloody Good Period, who are very squeamish about using the word 'woman'.

Well Oliver Bonas can fuck off.

People who bleed? What a load of shit, this makes me so mad.

According to whom it's 'bloody banned' to solely talk about females when talking about periods.

Patronising fucks.

Bonas wankers!

Well no more orders from me OB. Doubt they will care about my boycott but makes me feel better.

Another shop I will no longer be visiting 🙄
