This is realllllllllly weird lmao

This is really NORMAL.
Except we never see it-so it is terrifying and uncomfortable when it happens.
(Mostly because people would laugh or be unkind)

I own a sex shop. Once a woman bled on our chair during an interview. She was horrified and felt ashamed because it was in some way unprofessional. We weren’t bothered. We said ‘what better place to work on being ok with your body than at a feminist sex shop?’
Bleeding is normal and dealing with it is one of the most pervasive ways women are complicit in their silence.

Some men bleed too. How would you react to that? For many men who are Trans the act of bleeding is a security threat.

Fuck off with your lolz.

Reblogging again for above commentary ^^^^^

So happy that the above commentor included trans* men. 

This series is titled “There will be blood” by photographer Emma Arvida Bystrom. I was thinking about this photo set the other day, actually. The first time I saw it, I was embarrassed and grossed out. I thought it was insane, and humiliating until I was hit with this sudden moment of clarity in which I finally got the message.

People don’t so much as bat an eyelash at the fact that bloodbath slasher movies or war films where people’s limbs get blown off exist in mass, but the minute a woman menstruates and doesn’t keep it a “dirty secret,” people flip shit, get squeamish and they often even get offended at the most natural and human biological process in existence. Because apparently blood is all fun and games until it comes out of a vagina.

If a woman isn’t hush hush about her period, she is shamed, and looked at as of she’s insane, or “unclean.” Some maxi pad and tampon packaging is even designed so that it won’t crinkle when you open it up, so that the person in the stall beside you isn’t inconvenienced or offended by the fact that you are menstruating.

Anyways, I just wanted to talk about it for a minute because this photoset had a big impact on me and I just wanted to share.

“That seems sort of harmless but then it kind of gets a little darker and sort of accuses these young pop artists of being part of this cycle where girls read magazines, feel terrible about themselves ‘cause its says “you should be skinnier, you should be prettier”. They feel terrible, and then these pop stars tell them that they’re perfect and that they’re beautiful and they buy the songs and then the popstar’s on the cover of the magazine so they buy a magazine again and it’s sort of this vicious cycle and I sort of implied he’s working for Satan or whatever.”
