| Miki is Mad and she is not gonna take it anymore! |
There are 2 categories that I am very familiar with in this life: one is the pest control industry and the other is mentruation, menses , flo or whatever the heck you want to call it. This really does happen to you (if you are a woman) Since both topics generally grosses people out, rather than talk about bugs , I will write about a topic that has been in and out of my body since I was 13 years old: my period. I am a subscriber to @nymag and there was an article in the February 8-21 2016 issue named : PANTY RAID: Author: Noreen Malone. The referenced article was regarding the above lady named Miki Agrawal.
This is how New York Mag decided to title the article:
PANTY RAID: Self-styled tech broad Miki Agrawal wants to disrupt the tampon industry, turn periods into a cause, and make a lot of money in underwear.
Yes insert OMFG emoji here. The more I read the article the more fascinating I found Miki. I decided to follow her on @instagram and thought this girl has more energy than a 6 pack of Red Bull + Vodka combined!!
In the meantime , I was really proud of Miki, since I did suffer from heavy periods due to the fact that I had a giant fibroid in the words of my doctor "the size of grapefruit" that I had to surgically have removed in order to be able to conceive a child. And let me tell you the "myomectomy" (name of the surgery) was fuckin painful. I couldn't have sex for 3 months. And then on my husbands first attempt bam I got pregnant!
Anyway, I didn't think much of said article until Wham! , THE FEB. 22- March 6 2016 issue of NY Mag arrived at my front steps again.
And OMG it gets better!!!!
Inside in the Comments section things were on fire! So heated that Ms. Agrawal proceeded to write an article on Medium !! I still haven't read it yet here is the link
An Open Letter to respectfully quit telling me how to "do feminism"
OHHHHHHH Miki is pissed! And I don't blame her, I mean come on NY MAG! seriously? I haven't read it yet but trust me I will.We support you MIKI!! girl power! Make sure you also buy her book "Do cool Shit"- It's already on my
+Amazon.com wishlist of course.

Oh and BuzzFeed's Matthew Zeitlin has read it and he responded as follows:
"Female reporters have enough problems with male subjects without female ones calling them bad feminists for writing down what they say"
The balls of this guy!
Oh, and not that we should ever consider our monthly flo to be trendy - but an instagram pic Literally called "I bleed each month" is nominated for a Shorty Award this year! The "instagramer" is called
+Rupi Kaur. Ck our her pic in the link below. Her picture was nominated as Instagram photo of the year. I believe voting for all categories has closed but you can still ck it out!
