Man invents vaginal glue, sparks women outrage

Those days of heavy bleeding, stains and cramps are a regular nightmare for most women. Over the years, many products have been out in the market, vouching to make menstruating days comfortable for women. But nothing beats this one—a glue that claims to seal a woman's vagina while she is on her periods!

Dr Dan Dopps, a US-based chiropractor, has come up with Mensez, a 'feminine adhesive lipstick' which could be used to literally 'stick' the labia together to keep the fluids inside. Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine concerned with diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system. In a controversial post on his LinkedIn profile, Dopps introduced the concept as a “compound of amino acids and oil in a lipstick applicator that is applied to the labia minora and causes them to cling together in a manner strong enough to retain menstrual fluid”. He goes on to add: “The Mensez compound is instantly washed away with urine, which releases the menstrual fluid along with the urine into the toilet every time a woman urinates. No pads or tampons are needed. Safe, secure and clean.”

Though the patent for this lipstick was granted on January 10, it has yet to hit the market. 

Dopps and his team seem to be really excited about finally being able to 'free' women, but women across the world are furious at what they feel is a misogynist, disgusting option. They took to social media to give him a piece of their mind. Many women went on to lament that even in 2017, men do not understand periods, and some blatantly asked if he knew the difference between vagina and urethra, or had basic knowledge of anatomy. Others asked men to stay out of women's businesses and figure out how to fix problems with their 'wacky genitalia'. 

He took charge in a Facebook reply to a woman's comment in which he justifies the greater good of his invention. “You as a woman should have come up with a better solution than diapers and plugs, but you didn’t. Reason being women are focused on and distracted by your period 25% of the time, making them far less productive than they could be. Women tend to be far more creative than men, but their periods stifle them and play with their heads.” He goes on to say his dream is to have women free of the distractions, the psychological issues that goes along with their periods. No, thank you, said women.

This one nails it!
