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.
Blood's a really effective vector for disease. So is fluid exchange during sex, though, and I'm not sure to what extent blood is actually worse. I know sex gets much riskier for the person with open wounds if someone has open wounds.
If we had seminal fluid in our veins we might run the exact same risk. You are asserting that the blood, and not the breached barrier, is the cause of the risk. And I'm afraid that is not how that would work.
