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 arent allowed to exhibit behaviors that come naturally to their bodies, while men can. Its understood that male bodies are a part of what men are, she explains. Female bodies dont 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: Im not saying these are pleasant things to do nor am I proposing we organize a feminist fart-in (unless its held at Claridges) but I do think we need to ask ourselves whether the perceived maleness of bodily functions is harmful to women.
