A Girl Named Go

“Male fantasies, male fantasies”

Here is the original article

"About a week ago, I bought a 30 pack of tampons at Target. The brand I bought is called “L.” The tampons are marketed as “100% Organic Cotton Tampons.”

Pretty safe, right? At least that’s what I thought.

Later that night I scrolled through TikTok and came across a video of a woman explaining her experience with L. tampons.

She used this brand for a couple years but then her period started to last for weeks. After these symptoms continued, she decided to visit a doctor. The gynecologist told her cysts developed in her ovaries. Her prolonged bleeding was a result of the cysts.

The brand she used, L., uses titanium dioxide, an inorganic compound that may cause cancer.

She claimed these tampons caused her to experience prolonged bleeding and develop ovarian cysts. Several other women reacted to this video explaining they use L. tampons and were recently diagnosed with reproductive issues.

Several of these women plan to sue L. for being dishonest about their “100% Organic” marketing scheme and potentially for causing reproductive harm.

I checked the back of my tampon package and, sure enough, they use titanium dioxide."

What is titanium dioxide?

Titanium Dioxide, or TiO2, is a white coloring agent used in cosmetic products, toothpaste, deodorant, desserts and paint. It makes items white.

There are several health concerns regarding TiO2. The state of New Jersey published a fact sheet in response to the Right To Know about Hazardous Substances. This sheet directly states:

Titanium dioxide can affect you when inhaled.

Titanium dioxide should be handled as a CARCINOGEN with extreme caution.

Titanium dioxide can irritate the lungs.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies titanium dioxide as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” Studies show rats develop lung tumors after prolonged exposure of titanium dioxide.

Another study found exposure to nanoparticles of titanium dioxide result in a decrease in embryo development in ovaries of mice. Their findings also suggest a decrease in fertility from TiO2 exposure.

The Environmental Working Group claims TiO2 damages DNA.

European lawmakers recently banned titanium dioxide as a food additive, stating TiO2 is unfit for human consumption. In America, titanium dioxide is widely used and often not even listed in the ingredients.

If you Google this many articles will say that the American FDA considers this to be safe. But when you get to the bottom of each article a lot of the times it says that there really needs to be more testing and there's no correlation AKA not enough people have died from it yet for the company to care.

i could write books about this but tl;dr leftie circles are full of sexual predators leaning on male privilege to keep their victims silent. the concept of an accountability process for sex crimes the same way there is for idk eg stealing a tv implies that the nature of the crime is the same and that the community at large feels the same way about the crime.

Yes, it may be important to seperate people who have commited violent crimes- not just rape- from society, but letting them rot in shame for 10 years won't do any good. They will come out worse than they got in and will cost more than necessary.

Especially for "small crimes" like stealing, insults or tax crimes there should be social hours and some kind of therapy session, because I think they have a greater effect: you take those people out of their bubble and comfort zone and force them to reflect, that way their shame and resent may eventually turn into insight and benevolence.

Police rape investigators dismiss women as liars and time-wasters, leaked findings from a Home Office study reveal.

An academic-led inquiry commissioned by the Home Office has found that some police officers investigating allegations of rape and sexual assault believe that a significant number of reports are false and feel frustrated that some victims are “wasting” their time, political sources have told The Telegraph.

The study, known as Operation Soteria, has examined case files and interviewed police officers in three forces in England. They discovered that some detectives described minor discrepancies or inconsistencies as “false”, which failed to understand how trauma can affect evidence given by victims.

One survey of almost 200 officers in the Metropolitan Police found that only one in four agreed that “very few” reports of rape and sexual assault are untrue, according to well-placed Whitehall sources.

The results of the £3.2million Home Office investigation have not yet been made public, but one MP familiar with the findings said they are “profoundly troubling”.

Several sources have suggested that publication of the report has been delayed to avoid political embarrassment.

The revelation comes as charities and rape crisis centres have written today to the Home Secretary to express concern that key results from the academic-led inquiry are being “shielded” from public scrutiny, saying the information has been available since January.

Of that 1 in 6, only 1.3% of rapists are charged.

Of that 1.3%, less than half of rapists are found guilty.
