FUCK YEAH WOMEN PROTESTING

"because there’s so much essentialism around talking about periods (yr a woman because yr body does this thing) and there are girls who don’t have periods, and boys who do, and everything that’s About Periods in the world of scholarship uses the language of woman completely unthinkingly. and i don’t want to participate in that, i wanna be called out, hard, if i participate in essentialism. on the other hand i totally believe there are a zillion ways to talk about periods and other gross/awesome things bodies do without invoking gender essentialism. i am interested in the body as a site of excess, an inability to be contained/controlled; bodies defying capitalist logic, of the emotionality of bodily processes, of the ways people scratch new meanings over top of culturally constructed ones."
