Feminists Declare Having STDs a 'Privilege' With #ShoutYourStatus

It’s Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Awareness Month, and what better way to promote awareness than... being loud and proud by sharing “I have an STI” with the public?

This liberal trend hasn’t hit the media just yet. Silly me for thinking STI Awareness Month (I wasn’t aware there was such a thing) would have something to do with the education of STI’s and prevention. Instead, we have feisty feminists claiming “victimhood” because they have an STI and are tired of the “stigma” surrounding it. Welcome to the strange-pride 


In light of STI Awareness Month, some feminists took to issuing a Twitter hashtag campaign #ShoutYourStatus,where women can declare they have an STI because…courage or something.  Yes, there’s actually an entire page devoted to “…the amazing reason women are telling the world they have STIs.”  The #ShoutYourStatus campaign was a creation of writer Ella Dawson, along with social work student Kayla Axelrod, freelance writer Britni de la Cretaz, and writer/activist Lachrista Greco Their goal is to promote a more open conversation about living with STD's.
