In Fear Of Blood?

In front of the night sky and a blood moon there is a city in which giant woman legs are standing. The legs are shining red. There is a text telling "In Fear Of Blood?" on the left side with blood all over it. On the right sight a tampon and a menstruation cap is shown. Below the image the text "The PATRIARCHY is already afraid again...but why?" is shown.

"In Fear Of Blood?" is a collage that questions masculine attitudes towards menstruation and the female body. Against the background of a blood moon and a cityscape, huge, glowing legs rise up, which seem to threaten the city shown almost supernaturally. Next to them is the text "The Patriarchy is already afraid again...but why?", next to menstrual products. The intuitively contradictory representation of a menstruating body, read as female, as a monster or threat is meant to symbolize the fears and biases that menstruating people are still exposed to today. This can be seen, for example, in advertising, in which blood is depicted as blue or pink, as well as in the historically grown devaluation and equation of menstruation with impurity, disgust or shame. In this way, the artists draw attention to how patriarchal attitudes have oppressed menstruators and women to this day and have established menstruation as a stigmatized topic.
