India has a long way to go in many ways. I read that about half the people enslaved worldwide in 2013 were enslaved in India.

This is where I have difficulty with it.
Presuming her action is indeed meant to call attention to the issue in India, what now?
Articles about how there are issues with a lack of use of feminine hygiene products in the area mention that a lot of the time it comes down to social perceptions or fears of pads and periods. Does running a marathon in a developed country and choosing not to wear a pad encourage women in a less developed country to wear pads more frequently? Is it more a matter of trying to attract attention in the developed countries to give funding or education to such areas?
Not clear on it.

It's not the same dude. Do you normally bleed profusely from your nose for a few days every month?

Some people do.
I think it is gross, I guess I just don't understand why if I think it is gross, that I am somehow finding women's bodies disgusting.
If I watched a video of two homosexual men shitting into each others mouth, and I think it is gross, it doesn't mean I am a homophobe.
Try harder.

If he does is it the same? What if he is a cokehead raising awareness for deviated septums? Why does it matter if it normally happens? Blood is blood.

most people find this just gross.
i was actually, physically, wounded in the ER two seperate times. the first time i had my thumb slashed open, wasnt too big of a deal because they took me in and stitched me up fast
when i got stabbed in the leg (by myself), i had to wait over an hour and a half, and lost at least a quart of blood. probably a bit more. the waiting room was full the whole time and they had to replace the bandages twice... i made 1 person puke, and soon after that other people were loudly asking when i would be removed from the room.
they werent even concerned about me, they were disgusted that they could actually see my blood. everyone else in the room was there for a headache, chest pain, or some other illness that wasnt actually visible from the outside.
tl;dr, blood disgusts people. and it always will for the most part.
that said, i gotta give that woman some credit. its the first time ive ever heard of someone trying to disgust someone into donating to or promoting something

Blood contains Hep A, C, and B, among aids and other pathogens. I try to avoid blood whenever possible.

Cokeheads aren't born cokeheads and deviated septum is never a sign of good health, reproductive or otherwise. Try even harder

If a man, runs down the street, with blood spewing from his rectum, because of the constant anal penetration he suffers from, (which he was born gay FYI) is that not gross? If he chose to run down the street bleeding?
I don't care if it is period blood, rectal bleeding, or anything else. Blood is blood, and it is gross, un-hygienic, potentially dangerous and very much so gross.

Trust me, a lot of very disgusting bodily functions can happen to people running a marathon. I've seen people throwing, shitting their pants, nipples dripping with blood from being rubbed raw. Honestly, to the people running the marathon, a lady having her period probably is not that shocking. I suspect a lot of women on their periods who are running marathons will have issues with blood staining. People fucking have diarrhea while running - just let it run down their legs. Were not talking about a casual stroll in the park. It's the most extreme physical activity most people will ever attempt.

I can't say I understand her methods or her message really. What's the end goal here? We all know that women menstruate, and nobody wants to touch other peoples blood without good reason. It's a biohazard. This is a stupid way not to make a clear point. It just makes people think "ewwwww". This is standard 110% athlete quality intellectualism.

If you google "running with tampons" you'll find that a lot of women deal with blood running down their legs during races.
I think whoever made a big deal about this has absolutely no clue about people who run long distances.

It's not the same dude. Do you normally bleed profusely from your nose for a few days every month?
What does it really matter if it's a thing you normally do on a monthly (or any regular) basis? Blood is blood. Is some stranger slobbering on your arm on a bus while sleeping (because that's what he regularly does) any less gross than when another stranger spits on your arm out of disgust with you? I suppose that's not the same thing either. Because every thing is going to not be the same thing just so you can stand behind your stupid statement.
