"The Removal Of Rupi Kaur’s Instagram Photos Shows How Terrified We Are Of Periods"

Well what do you guys think? I don't like looking at it for the same reason I do not enjoy looking at someone who has just crapped their pants. Am I in the wrong here?

What do you guys think?

I see no reason to sensor it......I also see no reason to consider it art as the article states it is.

This well illustrates the irrelevance of instagram.

There's a lot of crap on the internet I don't like looking at that some people think is just fine, especially "art."

Reminds me of Manzoni. Artist who in the 60's tinned and sold his own chit as art. Of course he realized he was being ironic.

I can completely understand why the whole period thing is off putting...For many thousands of years we considered women who are having their periods as being unclean, unsexy, uninteresting. I would imagine it has everything to do with the fact that when a women is having her period she cannot become pregnant. While this may seem like a strange reason to find a women uninteresting, it goes back to the main purpose of life which is to beget life. Males are attracted to fertile women with good complexions, wide enough hips for child birthing, ample breasts as a means to fed the infant and to be young so that they may have a very good chance at being healthy.

Plus its kinda gross and they don't like it much either...

You'd be surprised how many orders I get for shift knobs via IG. Not irrelevant at all. Great marketing tool.

It's not art. She may call it that but it falls in the same category as the artist who tied dead bunnies to her fence. Rabbit corpses core of new art exhibit - Canada - CBC News

People have explosive bowel movements every day. Should that be considered art just because someone calls it that? Eat a bunch of chilli and spray it on a canvas. Art? No.

Taking a picture of someone's poor personal hygiene and declaring it art is the same as someone taking a picture of a frat boy laying in a pile of his own vomit. Both only belong in Scheiße videos.
