In an article published in the New Statesman, the self-described feminist writer who only goes by the name “Glosswitch,” explained that passing gas is now a feminist issue.
The piece, called “Why farting is a feminist issue,” explained that men are allowed “piss against a wall” and “spit in the street,” while women are not even allowed to fart.
Glosswitch explains that women aren’t allowed to exhibit behaviors that come naturally to their bodies, while men can. “It’s understood that male bodies are a part of what men are,” she explains. “Female bodies don’t have the same status.”
Women are pushed through a patriarchal society that demands they act a certain way, according to Glosswitch: “These days the phrase “real woman” is associated with Dove adverts, not with women who fart and burp and might occasionally want to cough up some phlegm while out on a jog.”
She wonders aloud if the perception that women cannot fart is harmful to women: “I’m not saying these are pleasant things to do – nor am I proposing we organize a feminist fart-in (unless it’s held at Claridge’s) – but I do think we need to ask ourselves whether the perceived “maleness” of bodily functions is harmful to women.”

You’d think as a writer,this crazy person would shortly be out of business in that profession.
-——Men pissing against a wall is Biblical. See I Kings 14.10.——
I looked it up out of curiosity....
You must have referenced the wrong passage....
.... Unless you were pulling my leg...: )
In my youth, men were proud of making enough money that they could afford to have their wives “farting through silk”.
Honeymoon is over, now we fart in bed together. Pull my finger!!!
Didn’t “South Park” already do this?
“Queef Sisters”, IIRC ...
Women fart? Really??
Gross!
My copy of the Septuagint (ed. Alfred Rahlfs, 6th ed.) indicates a gap here but offers a Greek text apparently translated from the Masoretic Hebrew text. The relevant part of verse 10 reads: ourounta pros toichon. Ourounta is a participle from oureo which Liddell & Scott translate as "to make water," and toichos means a wall (used of a house wall rather than the wall around a city).
Does this woman have a cork up her a$$ as well as a bug?
Finally an issue Hillary Clinton can campaign on.
Yep.
That is basically true. While I've heard many female friends, co-workers, and family workers make snide remarks about the clothes of other women, I've never heard one man make a snide remark about what some other man was wearing.
From my experience women are the masters of sbds. I'll never forget as a child a long, vacation drive back from Detroit where one of my sisters gassed the car out with regularity all the time laughing hysterically at our agony.
Don't give them any ideas. They'll have large lunches of beans and cabbage, and they'll be invading public spaces and farting in solidarity.
heck yeah
Farts Across America
Twily! You have more class than that. Celestia taught you better.
You fart in bed then pull the covers over her head. = The “dutch oven”.
I had to ask also. Kick the leg backwards from the knee which somehow produces the required fart.
