The image was met with series of death and rape threats, which Louelle later screengrabbed to give an idea of the harassment women face for breaking a taboo: ‘This is what happens when you post a picture of #blood and say that it's from your #vagina and it gets regrammed. @__emicasz__ says that#feminists these days are so f**king stupid. @martinghalle wants to #killpeople like me. @imthehitlerofmemessays that #feminazis should have#semen sprayed in their faces.@dank.meme.machine suggests that#feminists should be #burnedalive#burned. The two of them decide that, really, #jetfuel should be used. And@the.almighty.count.dankula says I should #killmyself #commitsuicide#suicide. All of that over a picture of blood? #overreacting? #boredHttp://instagram.com/p/6ykYMTxmRX/ And I guess I should thank@sendmenudesorillkillyourfamily. Thanks, bro! #feminism #feminist#periodblood #periodshaming#menstrualblood #menstruation#misogyny #womenhating #sexism#blood #shame #threats #hate#hatecrime #period #mensrights'
While we get it’s not maybe the most pleasant image you’ll scroll through on your Instagram feed, it’s definitely not something that deserves a backlash or criticism. It’s Louelle’s body and her own social media account.
