>This piece of shit

I saw a thread on /lit/ about this, but didn't really look at it.

Then I went to Waterstones today and saw STACKS of this fucking thing. I picked one up and read a few pages.

Holy fuck. How does win a prize? How does this get published? It's the most trite, sentimental shit. There's no poetry in it. No discernible talent. These are the sentences you'd expect of a teenager, given line breaks to look like poetry.

Do I just need to be a feminist PoC/minority to win at life?

In March 2015, as part of a photo project for a university class, Kaur posted a photo of herself lying in bed with a menstrual blood stain on her sweatpants on Instagram. Instagram removed it twice because the picture didn't "follow (their) Community Guidelines."[11] The picture was part of menstruation themed photo-series to destigmatize taboos around menstruation.[12] Kaur took to Facebook and critiqued Instagram's action saying, "Thank you Instagram for providing me with the exact response my work was created to critique. You deleted my photo twice stating that it goes against community guidelines. I will not apologize for not feeding the ego and pride of misogynist society that will have my body in an underwear but not be ok with a small leak when your pages are filled with countless photos/accounts where women (so many who are underage) are objectified, pornified, and treated less than human."[13]

The picture on Facebook was shared by thousands, went viral and made headlines around the world. Later, Instagram restored her picture and apologized to Rupi Kaur saying it had removed it by mistake.[12]

>taboos against menstruation

there are absolutely nothing taboo about menstruation. people dont want to see it because it's unhygienic and if people see someone bleeding out in the street they're more likely to ask if youre okay because they think you may be injured. jesus christ the narcissism knows no bounds!
