Someone Pass The Healing Stone
Menstruation is universally referred to as your “moon time”; there is a Moon Lodge with a “Moon Blood Earth Altar” where we are encouraged to offer our “Holy Menstrual Blood to Mother Earth” with prayers and intentions.
Marisa Meltzer ventures into the sisterly world of braiding circles, “water healing,” and ayurvedic breast massage:
“We have created — and are creating — a community of mothers, sisters, daughters, grandmothers,” Spirit Weavers’ founder and trademark owner, Amy Woodruff, says into a microphone. She has long brown hair and a deep tan. In 2011, a photo of her doing a naked headstand while simultaneously breastfeeding her daughter Naia went viral. (“I was just doin’ my daily flow when the little sweet pea came to sneak a suckle,” Woodroff wrote at the time on her blog, Daughter of the Sun, where she also sells juice cleanses, incense, and “organic baby bootie balm.”) A Kundalini yoga teacher, Woodruff used her newfound fame to pivot into a kind of nexus for the sort of women who are drawn to water births and food-fermenting workshops.
Oh, there’s more. Much more. And yes, there is a photo.
Via Alice.
Back to the stone age, but with high taxes for us poor goobers who are dumb enough to still work for a living.
The force defines misogyny hate crime as: “Incidents against women that are motivated by an attitude of a man towards a woman and includes behaviour targeted towards a woman by men simply because they are a woman.”
But what if I identify as a woman? Is it misogyny if I’m actually a woman?
There was no mention of matching shoes, just any 12 shoes at random, I suppose.
Farnsworth: The “carbon fibre” lady’s writing is clear proof of an old claim of mine, originally phrased in the context of engineering design: “Some designs can only be explained by the supposition that they have access to better drugs than we do.”
Her basic thesis appears to be that all engineering is oppressive of women and pretty much anyone who is not an able-bodied hetero white male.
I’ll be a lot more impressed with her when I hear that she is living in a cave with her “sisters”, gathering food with her bare hands and drinking by putting her mouth directly in the river.
In the meantime an ’82 Page Mill Cabernet Sauvignon that I opened an hour ago is crying for my attention. I can’t guarantee that no carbon fibre was used in its production.
I have found that gently rubbing a freshly hard-boiled Parrot’s egg against my forehead does the job.
Now just imagine for a sec that it was a bunch of men in the woods steaming their penises , Ayurvedically massaging each other testicles and fertilising mull plants with their semen. With children around.
They’d be branded sexual perverts and locked up.

Perhaps they should get in touch?
Back to the stone age,
People were quite sophisticated in the Stone Age – think Mayan pyramids. They knew, for example, that clothes are a good idea.
I don’t imagine those ladies go very far into the forest without their kit on.
I don’t imagine those ladies go very far into the forest without their kit on.
I don’t imagine these ladies go far anywhere, kit or no kit, where there aren’t “Hispanic women” cleaning the latrines for them.
Now just imagine for a sec that it was a bunch of men in the woods. . .
I have my own fantasy life, thank you.
I wonder will British Misandrists be taken in the same way? Or is this merely the start of the criminalisation of the male?
I dare say this development could wind up criminalising a fair few (male) comedians, if they’re not careful…
I have a bachlorette weekend in Vegas coming up which I have been dreading mainly because of the weather
You don’t go OUTSIDE when you’re in Vegas!
Farnsworth: I (a white anglo het male) once cleaned a toilet / shower room used by, among others, the daughter of el Presidente Echeverria of Mexico. I think she was Hispanic, at least back then. (Though I suppose her family was wealthy. Is that disqualifying? Didn’t seem to affect the nature of her toilet use, in any case.)
Do I win a prize?
Fred – that is a poser. The chix in the woods had “Hispanic women” cleaning their latrines, which I am assuming were not exactly straddle trenches. I am assuming el Presidente’s hija wasn’t using one either, but I doubt it was in the woods.
So – points go to the nameless “Hispanic women” a) for the woods, and b) putting up with a horde a fruitloops who no doubt made a hell of a mess.
However – points to you for being a cismale person of pallor cleaning a latrine not as part of the 1SG or your spouse/GF threatening you.
Prize: The bulk of the points go to the “Hispanic women”, so you do not win a free vaginal steam, but you do win a 20% discount on a vaginal steam or waxing of any body part of your choice. It has to be your body part, though, the steam is transferable.
Farnsworth,
…you will be pleased to know that carbon fiber is a tool of the patriarchy and thus misogynistic.
I was expecting Judith Butler to show up in there, somewhere, and I was not disappointed.
Now just imagine for a sec that it was a bunch of men in the woods. . .
I have my own fantasy life, thank you.
So do I.
And that ain’t it.
Farnsworth: As it happens, the dunny in question was in the woods of the California Sierra, albeit at a summer “camp” for posh girls. Interesting experience for a 16 year old guy who’d ostensibly hired on as carpenter’s mate.
Regarding my prize, I think I’ll hold on to it until I lose all my hair, then get a wax job on my dome, so everyone will see the brilliance contained therein.
David
Due to the gendered nature of the event, I was feeling a little left out. I’m now squatting over a bowl of hot water and parsley, in the hope that the herbal steam will connect me with the Earth Goddess.
Nothing yet.

If there was an olympics for dry humor, i would go to see you and David Burge dry up the stage

I would suggest that the action he is describing involves increased moistness rather than aridity.
Cheers
I’m 65 years old, and fairly widely read. I’ve never heard of menstruation referred to as “moon time.”
Now just imagine for a sec that it was a bunch of men in the woods steaming their penises , Ayurvedically massaging each other testicles and fertilising mull plants with their semen. With children around.

You can steam your dick anytime you want. I’ll pass.
Female privilege.
