Can ‘Only Women Can Have Periods’? Entrepreneur Weighs In

Periods are for women only! That is the message the tampon company Garnuu is sharing with anyone who will listen.

Garnuu founder Macy Maxson promises her company will never refer to women as a “menstruate or bleeder, chest feeder... [or] a pregnant person. … We're keeping women and we're keeping periods to be a girls only club.”

Maxson joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to explain why she is speaking out against a movement that she says is trying to erase women. She also shares how her company is fighting for women overseas who are at risk of becoming human trafficking victims.
