Feminist Marathoner Runs The London Marathon With Her Period Blood Splashing All Over the Place To Protest Period Shaming

Dailylife - The night before Kiran Gandhi’s first London Marathon in April, she started menstruating. It was the 26-year-old’s first-ever marathon, and although she’d trained for a year leading up to it, she had never practiced going the distance while on her period. Gandhi thought through her options and decided that what would be best for her – as well as a positive act for women – would be to “take some midol, hope I wouldn’t cramp, bleed freely and just run”. That’s exactly what Gandhi did – and after making it to the finish line like a total champ, she’s since written an essay about the whole experience, drawing attention to the plight of women around the world who don’t have access to tampons and lack support because of the taboo around periods. “As I ran, I thought to myself about how women and men have both been effectively socialised to pretend periods don’t exist,” she writes. “By establishing a norm of period-shaming, [male-preferring] societies effectively prevent the ability to bond over an experience that 50% of us in the human population share monthly. Although she mentions one example of being shamed during the marathon – “someone came up behind me making a disgusted face to tell me in a subdued voice that I was on my period…I was like…wow, I had NO idea!” – it was an overall positive and empowering experience. Gandhi ran with two of her close female friends and they stuck together from start to finish. “We ran for women who can’t show their periods in public and for women who can’t compete in athletic events. We ran for our friends who have suffered through period cramps at work and for women who have survived breast cancer. We ran in sisterhood side by side and we crossed the finish line hand-in-hand.”

What’s the only thing worse than marathon hardos? Feminist marathon hardos who are splashing their period blood all over the joint to prove a point. Hey newsflash honey. Periods are fucking gross. That’s not sexism. That’s a fact. Nobody wants to see it just like nobody wants to look at a gruesome injury or flaccid penis. So do the world a favor and stick a tampon up there and shut up. Bitch should be arrested for this crap.

PS – No way this chick’s real name is Gandhi.   She just made that up like “He Hate Me” to try and drive her point home.  Gandhi would fucking puke in his mouth if he saw this chick leaking all over the place.

Double PS – Can’t believe this chick didn’t wear white.   Learn how to make a disgusting statement for me 1 time.
