Writing on the sanitary pads shows how the 'letter' can replace the litter/ biological waste: blood in this case.
The Symbolic use of the pad which uses the object as a writing surface has a slant towards the Real in the sense that this writing is written onto a tabooed surface which is otherwise considered 'unwritable'!
What throws the cat among the pigeons is the equivocation of the signifier 'pad' as in a writing pad.
The culture of protest is a creative act.
