Periods, Parables and the SNP
Excellent article by Susan Dalgety who pours well deserved scorn on the appointment of a man as Scotland's first ever Period Dignity Officer.
"Hours after the press release heralding Tayside’s courageous appointment was issued, things started to get very real indeed for Jason who, rather mysteriously on the first week of his new job, was on holiday."
Warming to her task Susan goes on to characterise the SNP in government as performance art:
"Even the much-heralded period poverty legalisation is regarded by many women campaigners as yet another empty political gesture, designed to grab headlines rather than tackle the root cause of the problem – poverty."
