Get Your Bleed On

I think some people take their gender too seriously.

“It’s awesome”, says a University of Winnipeg student as she takes in The Gallery of Empowerment (and Menstrual Art) just after the artists erected the artwork. Presented by the university’s Womyn’s Centre, the gallery, which showcases the menstrual blood of collective members, went up November 25 to raise awareness about the Montreal Massacre and violence against women.

So. does that mean violence against men is OK? I dunno, there’s something kind of creepy about the idea of paintings made with dead human eggs and menstrual blood, or is that just me? I guess I must be a phall-opressor from the patriarchy or something. I guess semen art is out. Well, it doesn’t show up well on a canvas unless you use food dye.

And learn to spell Women, you crazies!
