A HuffPostWomen headline.
1. I'm telling you � and I've told you before � the job of cranking out one "feminist" post after another is not easy. And isn't it just what you'd expect in a phallocracy? � that they'd relegate this job to women. How I pity the slaving female scribes of HuffPostWomen.
2. Great name, by the way: Elon� Kastratia.
3. Is "period pads" really an expression? Never heard it, perhaps because I've sojourned scantily in Europe.
4. Here's a better story about sanitary napkins: "How do you cut the school dropout rate for girls in a remote pocket of Uganda? And how do you create jobs for village women? The answer to both questions: sanitary pads. The story begins in 2009, when 26-year-old Sophia Klumpp and her husband-to-be Paul Grinvalds � she's from the U.S., he's from Canada � began working for a nonprofit group in a rural village in Uganda. Klumpp saw that many of the teenagers in school used threadbare rags or tufts of mattress stuffing as sanitary pads. The embarrassment and the fear of an accident kept many of them away from school for the four or five days of their period each month...."
5. Great name, Klumpp. Good work. Much better than protest-littering in Europe.
