Could you elaborate what about the campaign you find disgusting? Perhaps people made some assumptions. But when you say a campaign like this is disgusting it does feel like you're targeting pads or menstruation. Maybe you could explain your stance better.
I did not like the idea of forcing people or challenging them to post a pic with a pad. I think its fake, i think its not needed, i think its not serious, i think its for movie more than any issue, i think its insincere, i think its crap. I think its disgusting. therefore.
Shouldn't pads be normalized? What do you think is the right way to be open about menstruation in India? Or do you think menstruation should be a hush topic?
I dont know what point they are trying to make. Do women not use it that they are asking them to use it? I am not interested in the message but I dont think this a topic grand enough that needs involvement of men. What can men do? what have the done? what will happen if we talk about it? This is not a topic like lets say rape which needs teaching on all sides..where there needs to be discussion. I just found this angle non serious...this could have been women only campaign and there is no need to make it grand. Even in US i rarely see this topic in discussion. It has become a fashion to make everything open up...this just doest not look to me an issue where there was a need to open up. It seems fake.
Growing up it was embarrassing to be on your period. The whole hush nature around it made it awkward to go buy sanitary pads. And then they wrap it up as if its some filthy porn that needs to be hidden.
Here in the United States pads and tampons are displayed on the shelf like any other product. You check out at the register just like anything else. It is normal to see men buy it for their significant others or daughters. Women are comfortable talking about their periods.
I think every woman in the world deserves to grow up with access to menstrual products. Every woman deserves the ability to go buy the product freely and not feel taboo or ostracized due to it. Women deserve the ability to talk about bodily changes like menstruation and menopause as a normal occurrence.
Whatever it is its women's own choice..i dont think this is one of those things where men have decided things and because of men women are ashamed..its their choice. so message should be tailored to them. that was my only point. i felt like is it some rape issue where someone is giving the message to men that u need to respect women and all that.
I find it funny that its completely normal for people to talk about getting food poisoning or illness that leads to diarrhea and vomiting, or talk about cuts and injuries that bled a lot. But the second a woman says she is bleeding out of her vagina everyone gets awkard and says TMI. Its normal. It happens every month. It causes a plethora of side affetcs like cramps, migraine, depression, bloating and even fever in some women. You get sick like once or twice a year. Why should women have to have secret talks of something that happens every fucking month.
i did not force them...they themselves need to sort it out.Who is forcing men? They do not have to do it. No one is holding a gun to their head.
Do what? what can we do? what is there need for us to get involved. why does everyone needs to get involved in every issue and without everyone's involvement issue is not complete. the idea that somehow everyone needs to be taught is wrong..because everyone did not make up this issue, everyone cannot help in this issue. however everyone is required to watch the movie and hence making it a everyone topic. lol
I agree that it is a total promotional campaign. No one would give a damn if there was no movie to promote. But its bringing an important conversation to the front and thats a good thing no matter what.
no its not good..if this was an important issue then we should not be happy that ok since movie has brought it up ..its good.
anyway i am not too fussy about it..i just thought that idea of asking everyone challenging them to post a photo looked fake, insincere and more for movie than any true care for women and making it a grand issue just because u need men to watch the movie when it is a women issue and could have been dealth among them. its not some issue where men can help..we are not belittling women...nor we are causing them to feel ashamed.
i need to sleep now lol
