A German blogger called Elonë has courted controversy after posting sanitary towels with feminist slogans written on them around her city.

20-year-old Elonë, from Karlsruhe, Germany, first announced her intentions on her Tumblr blog, and has since posted pictures of her project in action on her Instagram.

So far Elonë has put up sanitary towels in public places around her city with provocative slogans including, ‘rapists rape people not outfits’, ‘my name is not baby’ and ‘my pussy, my choice’.

However her most her most controversial slogan so far is, ‘imagine if men were as disgusted with rape as they are with periods’, a powerful statement some people accused her of stealing from blogger and tweeter @cutequeer96.

Elonë has also received a number of abusive messages on her Tumblr from people angry at her project in general.

Still, Elonë remains defiant.



She replied to one commenter, saying: ‘You poor little men please start telling me about how men are treated bad… how bad it is to get more money on every job, tell me how it is to be called a bitch, whore, slut, c*** for everything you do, please tell me how you got sex trafficked please… if men like you would start seeing the problem it would be a better place here so stop victimising yourself.’

Ouch.
