'Our disgust toward our bodies is not innate – it is a learned societal behavior.'
"People have equated it to putting poop on my face, which just validates for me how uneducated our culture is about what blood actually contains. People also claim that I’m doing it for attention, acting like attention is a bad thing and not a basic human need. Of course I want my message to get attention, because I think it's important."
Demetra said her goal is not to get every person who menstruates to put their blood on their face. She said,"If I take something many people find disgusting and I touch it and play with it, then maybe some little girl will see the blood between her legs and think, 'Well, if Demetra puts it on her face, maybe this isn’t that gross after all.'""I also want adult women to not feel repulsed by their own bodies.
"I do get a lot is women saying, 'I was so triggered by your period posts at first, but, eventually, I became inspired and now I love my cycle too.' I receive a lot of DMs of women with their blood all over themselves! They just don’t feel as comfortable to share it publicly."
