Abstract

This Essay considers the profit to be made in virtue signaling solely for the purpose of attracting customers and driving sales: Pro-female, woke menstruation messaging that may merely be an exploitative and empty co-optation. Feminists should expect more of menstrual capitalists, including a commitment that firms operating within this space address the diapositive issue of period poverty and meaningfully assist those unable to meet basic hygiene needs who may never be direct consumers. This Essay serves as a thought piece that first presents, in Section I, the B Corporation as a relatively new direction in corporate law that redefines the corporation as a potential agent of social change. Section II considers the way in which B Corporation certification may serve as an implicit sorting device to distinguish companies performing hollow virtue signaling from those menstrual capitalists committed to socially responsible pro-female business practices.

经期资本主义,经期贫困,以及B型公司的角色
这篇文章认为,在美德信号中获得的利润仅仅是为了吸引顾客和推动销售:支持女性,唤醒月经的信息可能仅仅是一种剥削和空洞的合作。女权主义者应该期待更多的经期资本家,包括承诺在这一领域运营的公司解决经期贫困的决定性问题,并有意义地帮助那些无法满足基本卫生需求的人,他们可能永远不会成为直接消费者。本文作为一篇思想文章,在第一节中首先提出了B公司作为公司法中一个相对较新的方向,它将公司重新定义为社会变革的潜在代理人。第二部分考虑了B公司认证可能作为一种隐性分类手段的方式,以区分那些执行空洞美德信号的公司和那些致力于对社会负责的亲女性商业行为的月经资本家。
