    According to the secretariat, emails threatening the life of Yoshida, a member of the Japanese Communist Party, were sent at roughly one-minute intervals between 8:00 p.m. on Friday and 3:50 p.m. on Monday. All were sent from the same email address.

    One huge creep?

      Good lord, same email address? I’d somehow missed that part. Who does that?

      Seems like it. Definitely a person who should invest their time into something less harmful. Who gets this enraged over menstrual products being more available?

        Yes cases these extreme are the minority. I’m a domestic abuse worker, and I’m sorry to say it’s not as infrequent as people think. And terrifyingly, even when they have MH issues they don’t lack capacity.

            Thanks for your honesty! I really appreciate it. If you’re male I have to politely ask you to leave, but won’t delete anything 😊

    “At her age, she should know to carry emergency sanitary napkins.”

    You start carrying emergency toilet paper then.

      People can argue all day long that we should be responsible for our own pads/tampons etc. but ultimately these arguments of where the responsibility lies miss the point. It’s just nice, it’s such a relief when you get caught out and have an emergency and you know you don’t have to worry about making something makeshift or finding a shop or having some change to use one of the crappy vending machines in the bathroom. I was ambivalent about free period products before moving to Scotland last year but just having them available when you need them is fantastic. Like the state doesn’t need to provide them but god does it make such a difference when they do.

      To be fair, this is actually normal in Japan.

      In cities, many businesses will advertise by putting a little marketing ad inside a small pack of tissues. People will be hired to hand these out at busy street corners. It’s not uncommon for restrooms to not have toilet paper, so you use the tissues.

    I genuinely could not be a policeman. Every death threat would be laughed at, and sent back a message full of ridicule

    Like LoL chat.

    calling for menstrual products to be made available in public restrooms

    Bruh its not like she said me keep some in the bum. No need for script. Let’s compromise on vending machine before escalate to stalker like behavior or better yet go catch some bugs.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you’re here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we’ve got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women’s community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
