Radical Anthropology goes to the pub!
Tuesday May 13
from 18:00 London time
LIVE talk and discussion on
'Where have all the menstrual huts gone?'
with the Menstrual Hut Coalition, upstairs at The Two Chairmen pub, Dartmouth St, SW1H 9BP
If you can’t get there, you can join on ZOOM ID 384 186 2174 passcode Wawilak from 6 pm
Where have all the menstrual huts gone? was the question posed by US archaeologist Patricia Galloway in the late 90s. She wondered why there was so much ethnographic evidence for historic and current menstrual observances among SE Native American groups (eg Chickasaw, Creek, Choctaw), and yet archaeology scarcely identified ‘menstrual seclusion’ sites. Menstrual taboos, she realised, often associated with matriliny and matrilocality rather than patriarchal societies. She said: ‘Because Western societies practice the hiding of menstruation…the topic itself is treated with reticence by females, discomfited derision by males, and with pollution anxieties ...by both’.
Members of the Menstrual Hut Coalition will be leading open discussion about the past, present and future of menstrual huts, drawing on recent experience in London to reclaim women’s time/space at Dark Moon. We can learn from Indigenous cosmologies of how these space/times can move whole communities between worlds and usher ‘World Renewal’. People of all genders welcome, as we are thinking about gender interactive celebrations.
When you eat a #balanceddiet that is rich in #iron, it stimulates #hemoglobin production. It also helps transport #oxygen to other #bodycells. Hemoglobin compensates for any loss of #blood resulting from internal or external injuries. #Women, who lose blood during #menstruation, should make sure to eat plenty of #ironrichfoods to avoid #anemia during and after their monthly cycles. However, iron is an #essentialelement for men as well. #traceminerals

#Menstruation and gender equality: Student movement revisited 50 years on
Now, as "period poverty" — referring to those who are unable to afford menstrual products — has become a social issue, former members of the group have compiled materials from their activities and self-published a reference book titled “Gojunen-me no Seiri Yohin” (“50th Year of Menstrual Products”).

In the 1970s, a group of female students at Tohoku University began demanding the university provide free menstrual products in restrooms. They were met with ridicule. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/31/japan/society/japan-gender-equality-movement-menstruation/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #women039sissues #menstruation #health #students #tohokuuniversity

A friend is complaining about the enshittification of her period monitoring app. Desipte the utter simplicity of the function, they are now trying to sell a monthly subscription.
The could very well be autonomous, not dependent of any server. Does that exists ?!

Une amie se plaint de la merdification de son app de suivie des règles. Fonctionnellement, c'est d'une simplicité sans nom, mais on essaye de lui faire prendre un abonnement. L'appli pourrait être autonome, sans serveur. Ca existe ?

Mortified about menstruation? Some Indigenous youth learn to celebrate it instead
Indigenous women are shifting the narrative about menstruation, honouring and celebrating a young person's first period and rejecting shame and stigma.

Vu leurs réactions, la machine a l'air plutôt fidèle à la réalité.
Épilogue : toutes les mesures prévues dans ce projet de loi ont été rejetées en 2024.
Conclusion de l'épilogue : il faut probablement faire essayer le simulateur à tous les députés et sénateurs qui ont voté contre.

„Verschwenden wir Periodenblut?“ Superspannende Sendung von @arte. „Jeden Monat landen weltweit mehr als 100 Millionen Liter im Müll oder im Abwasser: Menstruationsblut. Wir betrachten es als Abfall. Doch was, wenn wir uns irren? Für Forscher*innen ist längst klar: Wir haben das Potenzial der Menstruationsflüssigkeit unterschätzt. Es könnte etwa bei der Diagnose von Krankheiten helfen oder in Zukunft die Wundheilung verbessern.“

Neben Einblicken in die Wahlkampfzeit und eines ziemlich unvorhersehbar langen, mikrowellen-warmen Aufbereitens der aktuellen #Sondierungen auf Bundesebene geht es noch um den feministischen Kampftag und kostenfreie #Periodenprodukte.
