Top feminist academics that have respectable diverse doctorates from medieval art, 6th century English to Women’s Studies gathered at the University of Toronto meeting center to discuss if human flatulence could be sexist.
Ashleigh Ingle a proud feminist and an anarchist argued that because of patriarchal gender norms women were not allowed to release gas in public because of men’s unreal expectations of women to be clean and feminine. Furthermore she articulated that if a woman was to fart in the presence of a man and the man responded by farting louder than the woman, than that would be rape.
“By farting louder the man is using passive aggressive violence to position himself as dominant, this intimidates the woman to subconsciously not release as much flatulence and thus the woman fearing for her safety doesn’t fart as loud as a sign of submissiveness, this in turn contributes to rape culture and women being oppressed.”
Most women who experience #FartRape are too intimidated to report the sexual violence.
The discussion boiled down to women’s bodies once again being controlled by society and women being told what to do.
Local activist Steph Guthrie a feminist advocate and community organizer who specialises in social media and interactive events proposed an online campaign to tackle this misogyny that “keeps women down and trapped in their own bodies. I just find it horrific that the patriarchy has been controlling women’s flatulence this whole time and we have just realised this now, it is time for feminist worldwide to re-educate women on how they are being discriminated against.
Guthrie’s twitter hash tag #FartRape has started to trend as women are taking control of their own bodies by naming and shaming men guilty of fart rape. Guthrie hopes the guilty men will be identified and then their workplace will be called up and their employer will be notified the type of person they are harboring in the workplace.
But Ingle argues that it simply isn’t enough, “Don’t tell women to fart louder tell men not to fart so loud” This is clear victim blaming and government should pass laws to make male farts above a certain decibel illegal to make human flatulence equal and not discriminate against women.
Unidentified Fart rapist. Feminist are warning any women on the Wellesley subway station to be on the lookout for this man
Science advocates have argued that because of sexual dimorphism men are larger, need a higher protein intake and thus can relieve more flatulence, but the speakers at the conference were adamant that it was a socially constructed gender norm that oppressed women to the point that they physically do not release equal amounts of gas as men.
Wow. Poes Law strikes again.
What about a man’s diet? Some men require a high fiber diet to stay healthy, and a man’s meals can affect his flatulence. Rape is sex without consent. So, it is physically impossible to rape or be raped by someone’s gass. Saying that ” women can’t/shouldn’t fart” is merely a superstition, just like saying that ” men are always stronger than women” some men have birth defects and mental illnesses that make them physical and/or intellectually weaker than women. So the superstition then women base feminism off of is false.

My goodness. ” … government should pass laws to make male farts above a certain decibel illegal …” This has to be the dumbest thing I have ever read.
Yay, feminism!
feminism is a mental illness – feed off being a victim.
One might consider to consume sweet potato, they produce a good loud fart. Any vegetable could be weaponized to produce fart. Consuming spice and egg makes it more lethal.
Typical liberal idiocy. Yawn.

They need to get a clue. Work on real issues, the homeless, the hungrey, the elderly, the chronic diseased. This is just as ridiculous as blaming everything on race issues. If you don’t like men don’t play with them PERIOD!!! I worked construction for Many years some jobs I am the only female. Yes there are jerks, there are also jerks in retail sales. Deal with it like a grown up and go on. I have, and do.
My sides have left orbit. How is this not offensive to actual rape victims?
This is my favorite thing ever.
I feel like fart raping the bitch out of your sexy cunt.
