Following The Ladydrawers’ March investigation into the gender bias embedded in copyright law, Anne Elizabeth Moore and Laura Szumowski started to look at patents and feminine hygiene in April. This followup strip reveals the amazing feminist secrets of the sanitary napkin disposal bag, and it is sure to delight and disgust. Stay tuned to this link next month, too, when we look at the crazy cat lady who holds the secrets to patent law reform!
An urgent fundraising appeal: We have until midnight to raise $17,000
Truthout is one of only a few platforms for justice-oriented, grassroots journalism. Today, we face an existential threat.
Due to Google’s launch of AI search, we’ve seen a drastic plunge in our site traffic and, as a result, our revenue. We lost 15 percent of our readership overnight. This was a readership we painstakingly built over decades, and it vanished because Google chose corporate greed over a healthy democracy.
We are fundraising right now to meet our basic operating expenses. If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Anything you can do makes a difference — we appreciate your support.
