Sometimes I’m violently reminded how sexist society still is and it’s either because of a fuckboy on youtube or a medical study and I SUPER DONT LIKE THAT!!

A screenshot of a Twitter thread from user alanaauston saying, "um? I assumed those commercials used water because they couldn't show blood but it's really because no one... thought to test actual blood?" Theres a screen shot from a TikTok video attached.
A screen shot from a TikTok from an unmentioned user. It has a long haired person in the background and in the foreground is a text in white with black borders saying, "Me explaining to people that the first study where scientists actually tested the absorbency of period products using BLOOD and not water was only published on Monday this week -and unsurprisingly it's shown that products aren't as absorbent as their labels say which drastically impacts how doctors have been diagnosing heavy bleeding"
A different screen shot from Twitter, this from Twitter user JasmineAGolphin in response to user alanaaustin's first tweet, saying, "Absolutely no shape to op but I didn't fully believe this absolute fuckery so I not only read the article but I read the abstract and then then downloaded the pdf of the study itself and y'all (line break) Y'all (another line break) They were using saline and water." There's an attached image of a block of text.
The text image that user JasmineAGolphin uploaded from the study in question. It's black text on a white background that says, "This clinical evaluation has become more challenging with the availability of a wide range of alternative menstrual hygiene products. The current validated clinical tool routinely used to assess menstrual blood loss is the Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart (PBAC). The PBAC is based on saturation of menstrual pads and tampons; newer menstrual hygiene products have yet to be integrated into the PBAC. To complicate matters, no industry standard exists for capacity testing of mentrual products except for tampons due to their historical link between absorbency and the risk of toxic shock syndrome. (3) Individual manufacturers may report collection capacity of their product using a liquid such as saline or water which is not equivalent to menstrual blood. Menstrual blood not only contains blood but is also composed of vaginal secretions and endometrial cells. (4) Individuals with HMB may also experience rapid blood loss (flooding) or pass clots which can further challenge the absorption of some products and lead to leaking."

hey, hi, I was just on the former bird app and came across this info from a brand new study and now I cannot stop screaming internally??? what the actual fuckkkk

theres' an article from the guardian here and here is the actual study:

a triangle chart with three captions, one at each point. the first says "angel rules (you can break the rules, but doing so will have irreversible consequences)". the second, "fae rules (you can't break the rules, but you can exploit any loophole)" and the third "machine/artificial intelligence rules (the rules are encoded in your very being, and to break them requires breaking you)".

Me, on the welcome desk in the library: Good morning, how are you today?

Customer: I have welcomed Jesus into my heart and so I am well today and every day.

Me, a little unnerved: Okay then! Is there something I can help you with?

Customer, digging around in his bag and pulling out an iPhone in a box: Unfortunately, Jesus can't help me with this fucking phone, so I came to the library.
