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.

I would posit that anyone who expected their partner to swallow ejaculate but was unwilling to get their own mouth on their partner's fluids is an asshole.

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.)

Does... Does the author assume that men are drinking every other kind of blood????

Because otherwise that makes no sense?

This is a question that rightfully comes up in vampire and monster fic, sure, but like.

Why would the author assume that men are drinking loads and loads of blood, just not Gross Woman Blood™®©?
