To raise awareness of what??? Unless it was in reference to maybe areas in the third world, where women face horrific obstacles and discrimination because of their gender, then just...why?
Everyone knows that most adult and teenage women menstruate, I thought it was widely understood that the only people who shamed women for something that's normal and natural are children - or atleast man-children. Doesn't mean they have to think it's beautiful and magical.
Fuck, Iiiiii certainly don't think it's beautiful and magical when I've bleeding out my vagine and feeling like crap - I get really depressed a few days beforehand too. It doesn't mean that I demonize it or feeling like I shouldn't be going about my normal life(and some women DO experience terrible terrible cramps that take them out for a day, if I don't have access to ibprofen or midol I'm totally miserable).

I support what she did. It seems a little silly that it has become a big statement; but I understand it. My mother is of Swiss German heritage and so I was raised with a very proper Western mode of thought. Having been recently immersed in Native culture it's interesting to see how many cultures believe that our bodies are nothing to be ashamed of; and I completely agree with them. f I wonder if she had to make it a statement to throw off her self conscious thoughts.

Well, it was not due to gender discrimination alone, but she claims:
Quote:
my3rdeye said: ... Gandhi, a Harvard Business School graduate, wrote that she got her period the night before the big race and thought that a tampon would be uncomfortable while she ran. But that isn't the only reason she decided to let it flow.
"I ran with blood dripping down my legs for sisters who don't have access to tampons and sisters who, despite cramping and pain, hide it away and pretend like it doesn't exist."
She added: "I ran to say, it does exist, and we overcome it every day."
Clad in all pink for breast cancer awareness, the 26-year-old finished the race in four hours, 49 minutes and 11 seconds. She told Cosmopolitan that she ran through the pain of cramps and the anxiety of the race (which she had spent a year preparing for) and felt empowered as she did so. ...
Which if she genuinely wishes to raise awareness for the lack of hygienic product availability in other countries, doing something considered un-hygienic is certainly one way.
As Crystal noted earlier in the thread though, she also comes from a part of the world where centuries, if not millennia, of the perception that a woman on her period is offensive to the gods and ritually polluting apparently still results in discrimination in the modern era.

no it's gross. shit is gross to. Should we all go run and let shit fall down our legs?
some shit is gross, it's ok. puke is gross, we try to not puke on dinner tables ya know what I mean. If I'm at a party and I have to puke I will probably go outside or something to do so.
Stuff is allowed to be gross people, we don't need stupid bitches bleeding everywhere to prove it isn't nasty, what a dumb bitch.
Crystal G, you made art with your period blood? that's my point, that's fucking gross and who ever you showed it to should have back handed some sense into you.

Next someone needs to run with severe diarrhea to bring awareness to dysentery. Who cares if it's a Biohazard when we're bringing important topics to light.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

How many of the spectators watching this shit even knew why she was doing it, did they announce it over loudspeaker as the race started? "And here we have runner number 2307, she will be profusely bleeding from her vagina for the duration of the race in a effort to get pads for women in the third world"

That part of my post was due to stories mentioning her as being of Indian-origin. You are correct though, that was my error. Her own website says she grew up in New York.
In terms of accessibility of hygiene products in other countries,
This guy decided to deal with an issue impacting his wife by going out and doing something about it directly.
Quote:
Wanting to impress his young wife, Muruganantham went into town to buy her a sanitary pad. It was handed to him hurriedly, as if it were contraband. He weighed it in his hand and wondered why 10g (less than 0.5oz) of cotton, which at the time cost 10 paise (£0.001), should sell for 4 rupees (£0.04) - 40 times the price. He decided he could make them cheaper himself.
He fashioned a sanitary pad out of cotton and gave it to Shanthi, demanding immediate feedback. She said he'd have to wait for some time - only then did he realise that periods were monthly. "I can't wait a month for each feedback, it'll take two decades!" He needed more volunteers.
When Muruganantham looked into it further, he discovered that hardly any women in the surrounding villages used sanitary pads - fewer than one in 10. His findings were echoed by a 2011 survey by AC Nielsen, commissioned by the Indian government, which found that only 12% of women across India use sanitary pads.
Muruganantham says that in rural areas, the take-up is far less than that. He was shocked to learn that women don't just use old rags, but other unhygienic substances such as sand, sawdust, leaves and even ash.
Women who do use cloths are often too embarrassed to dry them in the sun, which means they don't get disinfected. Approximately 70% of all reproductive diseases in India are caused by poor menstrual hygiene - it can also affect maternal mortality.
http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26260978
Suppose this might be the issue she is trying to call attention to.
Could just as easily be that she decided to make it "for a cause" after her initial reaction that running with a tampon in would simply be uncomfortable.

they're accessible in other countries or the guy in your anti-capitalist story wouldnt have been able to compare the price of cotton to the finished product which equates to around 6 cents per pad

what's hilarious about it all is that this free bleeding movement stemmed from 4chan, she decided to kowtow to the patriarchy for nothing more than attention like the majority of the other feminists out there. it basically boils down to another atention whoring celebrity that whoring for more attention
