Hey Guys,
So in Britain right now, there has been growing support for a movement I have watched, supported and been part of for a while now.
Stop Taxing Sanitary Products like Pads and Tampons.
The reason I support this is because unlike other "luxury" items you can't stop having periods. Rather than being a choice pads, tampons etc are a necessity for preventing everything from being ruined, by the lining our uterus's. Sorry. TMI?
Anyway, the reason I why to bring it up is because personally i think this shows the small inequalities that still remain in society which now need to be uprooted and eradicated.
So yesterday when Commons voted against the tampon tax... i just felt kind of deflated. There was such momentum with this movement and for me it made so much sense... That to have so many, white, middle class and middle aged men who've never experienced a period it their whole life vote against it. Despite the fact women have to pay more money for things such as deodorant that men.
And to be honest. I'm sick of this everyday sexism that has just become normal in our society.
Love,
