Bush says “the fact one in five girls ... is missing school because of her period feels utterly unacceptable to me” (via toofab)
While Bush understands that it may "feel like a daunting thing" for schools, companies and societies to start thinking about providing period products, she feels it would be a "game-changer" in a multitude of ways.
Uttering "yup" at the mention that period products are taxed while Viagra is not, Bush said, "I think the pink tax is a joke, truly. I think it's insulting. Again, the fact that 51 percent of the population is treated as though what we need for our bodies is somehow a luxury is ridiculous. I think that that extends across the reality that women's shirts cost more to dry-clean than men's shirts.
"Unless that woman wants to feel that she presents as masculine," she said, "that's not someone else's job to tell her." "We need to step into that base and power, and we need to do it with support," she said. "Changing a societal tendency doesn't happen overnight, but if we put our heads together, I believe we can go there."
