Menstrual Monday 2/8/10
- Occidental's Feminist blog heralds the arrival of the Vaginal Monologues on their campus with a delightful article on the benefits of using menstrual cups.
- Blogger Crunchy Chicken shares with us her Sex and Sustainability seminar slides (woo alliteration!) from a recent talk she gave in Eugene. She discusses eco-friendly menstrual products, toys, lube, and more! PS: Think twice before opening this one at the office.
- If you are in or around Chicago be sure to check out the lecture tomorrow (2/9) on "Sanitary Technology in Nepal: Menstrual Cup Adoption and Effect on Education" by Emily Oster, Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. This talk looks really interesting and makes me wish I was in Chicago! If you go, please tell us about it.
- A writer on the staff of The Pitch, Kansas City's News Blog, has found an old copy of Cosmopolitan in which the article "Are Woman Troubles Out of Style?" appears. Anthropological hilarity ensues here.
- One Green Generation takes on Greening Your Menstrual Cycle in one of their latest articles. The author surveys all the different types of alternative menstrual products
in this great review. - The blog A Month Without Monsanto gives GladRags a shout out in Monsanto Out of My Panties!
- There was sure a lot of "humor" about the new Apple iPad, unfortunately it was mostly at the expense of women. Following are some great article addressing the issue:
- "The iPad: A Product from the He-Mans Woman-Hater's Club?" on Bust Magazine
- "It's the subtle things: iPad edition" on Feministing
- "The Guy with a Good Attitude Toward Menstruation" on Re:Cycling
- "Misogyny's Last Frontier: Feminists and the iPad" on Gourmet Goddess an open Salon blog
