The Prime Minister of Australia doesn’t fuck around!
I think it’s fair to say Julia Gillard has well and truly torn the leader of the opposition a bright, shiny new asshole for being a hypocrite, misogynist and sexist. Julia Gillard has come in for criticism from Tony Abbott, leader of the opposition, for supporting the recently sex-textually disgraced Speaker Peter Slipper.
Tony Abbott has one of those stellar records on sexism, including standing next to signs calling Julia Gillard a bitch, he addressed a speech to “the housewives of Australia as they do the ironing” and has described abortion as “the easy way out”.
Charming.
We see SO MUCH institutional sexism in politics and it seems it’s NEVER challenged. So hats off to Julia for standing up to misogyny, she’s not afraid to acknowledge the problem, and she’s not holding back, she’s ANGRY!

VIVA LA PROGRESS!
Ladies and gentlemen, I have my period.
It’s mooncup review time. Please look away if you’re squeamish.
I’ve now used the mooncup three times and I think I’m getting the hang of it! At first in seemed HUGE, but once it was in I couldn’t feel it. I discovered when I was pressured for time I just COULDNT insert it, but I’m sure speed will come with practise.
You just fold it like a taco and slide it on up in there and away you go.
The tricky part is the removal. You’ve created a vacuum between the edges of the mooncup and the walls of your vagina, so when I first attempted a removal, there was quite a lot of resistance. I did what it said in the leaflet, I kept calm…
I also decided it would have to stay in there forever.
Sure, I would have to be celibate, but I basically already am!
Moments later, once I had grown tired of celibacy (seriously how do the clergy do it?) I made a second attempt. I won’t lie, it is a bizarre sensation. You feel the suction, then you feel a pop and the seal breaks, then you have to try to get it out completely upright. It’s like a test of coordination and reflexes completely located in and around your vagina!
That said, I’m happy I tried it, and I’m going to continue to use it.
VIVA LA MOONCUP!
