Montevideo City Hall financed 'menstrual visibility' events

Among the many progressive absurdities promoted with public funds in Uruguay appears the "Menstrual Visibility Month."

On May 30 and 31 at the Espacio Feminista Las Pioneras, the Red de Activistas Menstruantes del Uruguay organized the ridiculous "menstrual visibility days". With money from all of us who are required to contribute, they attempted to make menstruation visible as a matter of "social justice".

Groups such as Inicia el Diálogo: ESI y Educación social para todes —a network that promotes the disastrous Comprehensive Sexual Education in our country— and Endouruguay, an organization that "educates about endometriosis to empower" and claims that "everyone is welcome in this space," including those who do not even have a uterus, participated.

After the tragicomic "menstruating days" ended, on their social media they declared: "This is just beginning. The days were only the start of a path we will continue to build together. Because talking about menstruation is talking about rights, health, education, equity, dignity. Because we're not going to stop until menstruation is made visible, respected, and taken into account in all public policies."

More ideological activism with public funds

It should be remembered that, with the aim of promoting "collective management committed to the defense of human rights from a gender perspective," in July 2020, the IM handed over the management of the premises located on the Las Pioneras square grounds to six feminist groups.

The transfer of the place, known as Espacio Feminista Las Pioneras, was carried out under the administration of then ultra-progressive mayor Christian Di Candia, current Deputy Secretary of Housing and Territorial Planning.

Since then, Cotidiano Mujer, Colectivo Habitadas, Encuentro de Feministas Diversas, Las Puñadito, Colectivo Elefante, and the Plenario de Mujeres del Uruguay (Plemmu) have organized multiple activities, such as the recent menstrual visibility day, with the aim of imposing the disastrous gender feminism on Uruguayan society.

Among their lines of action is the progressive slogan that states: "combat all forms of violence such as racism, xenophobia, fascism, homolesbotransphobia, and other forms of discrimination".

State feminism: rituals, red paint, and public funds

The gender feminism promoted from these spaces differs notably from first-wave feminism, which fought for legal equality between men and women. Instead, these new currents focus on demanding a series of symbolic and material benefits that go beyond the rights already achieved and contradict the observable evidence provided by biology.

This trend has led to the institutionalization of groups that, far from representing all women, respond to a specific ideological agenda. What they seek are privileges and it is clear: they make a living by giving workshops where, in a kind of ritual, they pour red paint over adherents to empower themselves and free themselves from the normative heteropatriarchy and "gender" stereotypes.

In summary, some ridiculous and shameful days, financed by all working people, so that the "oppressed" can have "group therapy" because they feel it is unfair to menstruate.
