Inspired by a Mary Sue article about a dress themed around period blood

The filmmaker Catherine Breillat proposes that men are sexist if they wouldn’t drink period blood. I propose that if your feminism involves any variation on this idea, then your feminism is bad.

THANK YOU.

A lot of the discourse around it seems to be ignoring haemophobic people, which as a haemophobic person, is quite frustrating. Like, if period sex/chillness around periods is important to (general) you, that's a perfectly fine and reasonable boundary, but it'd be nice if it was acknowledged that people have a lot of different reasons they might not want to interact with blood (a lot of which don't have anything to do with sexism.)

(Also, I am really annoyed with the meme that goes around with these discussion, 'everybody has blood.' Which, yes, is true. But it is a great injustice in the universe that everybody's blood doesn't stay consistently inside of them.)
