Raising awareness for periods? I'm sure if a woman is having her period she's pretty fuckin aware of it.
And as for men, if their chick is on her period...I'm sure they're pretty fuckin aware of it too.
Maybe she just didn't want to run 26.2 miles with a wad of cotton up her twat.

This is true that it was a comfort issue, she even said so in the interview.
However once she tried to make a political statement out of it, then I think she overstepped the line.
It's a natural biological function, you can't imagine a social justice cause behind that, plain and simple.
Do the runners who shit their pants say they are raising awareness for irritable bowel syndrome?

Can you imagine this shit being accepted in the 1920s? She'd be thrown into a mental institution
We'll see lots more of this shit happening all over the world.
"Could you imagine black people thinking they should be treated just as equally as the white man in the 1920's? They'd be thrown over a tree with a rope around their neck." Sounds dumb when you use the same argument in a different perspective.
Something not being accepted in the past doesn't mean it's inherently dumb for attempting to address it today. The way she went about it is ridiculous, but sadly in a first world country we're unaware that in other places they would be shamed for something as simple as being on their period. For example, read what the bible has to say about periods, and then realize stupid shit like that is still practiced to this day in other places of the world and how people followed that shit most likely only up until recently even in more developed countries.
Still stupid and gross, considering the countries this would mainly effect probably aren't up to date with social media and the technology that makes us first world countries aware of how ridiculous people are getting with their "movements", so it's not like she's going to make a difference in the places where it really matters.
But this among other things in this thread is at least good enough for a laugh or two, so it had some kind of value in a way.

They wouldn't have let a woman run a marathon in the 1920's, period or not.

This post had me google "1920s menstruation" which lead me to a blog ridiculously titled "myperiodblog" for an article about the history of menstruation that claims:
Quote:
In 1921 disposable pads became more popular following WWI (Kotex pads were invented and marketed widely). The pads only began to sell well after women were allowed to deposit money in a box for them without speaking to a shop assistant. The Kotex pads were developed from wartime bandages which American nurses in France had started to use as menstrual pad. These disposable pads were expensive & only affordable to wealthier women (however washable pads did slowly decline in use).
In the 1920s Advertisements in England & the USA started to encourage women to ‘douche’ to hide the smell when they were menstruating.
Source: http://myperiodblog.com/2010/11/17/history-of-menstruation-part-1/
Not sure as to whether or not this is true, but if it is then it makes for a really interesting parallel. The things that made 1920s pads unpopular in the developed world were a social stigma or fear of buying them and costs that were considered prohibitive to the lower class -- basically the same issues that get listed when discussing the issue in India.
There was also another website called the museum of menstruation which had an article regarding what was worn before the 1920s http://www.mum.org/InsideMUM4.htm Apparently it was a washable apron worn under clothes -- seems similar to the references of women in India using rags, but without the stigma around cleaning them.
Still not clear on how her decision to not use a pad in a developed country helps to encourage women in India to wear pads -- do not think any woman from any small village in India will ever see these news articles, and have not seen other feminists pick up the issue in this manner (as Shroomism linked earlier in the thread, "womyn" seem to be taking this as a reason not to wear pads rather than encourage those that need pads to wear them).
In terms of raising awareness about the issue, that might be more likely as despite how negative many of us are being on the topic we are still discussing it in a public sphere rather than ignoring it.

Still think the guy I linked earlier in the thread had a better approach though -- didn't give a fuck what people thought or if anyone paid attention, just focused on trying to find a way to make pads more accessible after his wife complained she could not afford groceries if she bought pads for the women in the household.

It's not the same dude. Do you normally bleed profusely from your nose for a few days every month?
your right it's not the same. some dumb bitch bleeding from her vagina is 1000 times more gross than a nose bleed. 99.99999% of people would agree with me.
example. Your standing in line with a girl that you know and she starts to bleed from her nose. a little gross but you take a step back. the same girl starts bleeding through her white shorts and it begins to run down her leg. This time before you step back you more than likely round house kick her in the back of her neck...then you step back further.
