But if your behaviour as PR implies that one demographic is inferior then whats the point of having a multifaceted event?  Without influencers, people who need those products wont know about this offering. Without us journalists, parents who struggle to discuss menstruation with their daughters and wet dreams with their sons wouldn't know that they were also catered for. But like I said: Use it, dont use it

Linked is a wonderful talk by the eloquent Eviane Leidig, PhD, one of new favourite researchers, about far-right women influencers.
