As a man to say anything “funny” about periods or
menstruation is disrespectful on a whole different kind of level. Shut your
mouth, shut it up completely. Don’t you dare say anything negative,
disrespecting or degrading or “funny” at all about periods.
You have no idea
what it’s like. This is a bodily function which is not only crippling for women
physically and emotionally, it’s also completely shameful to go through or to
talk about. So we’re faced going through is involuntary experience every three
weeks, suffering in silence and in shame as we bleed and cramp. Having your
period in country and where your income can cover tampons and pads is horrific
enough, bleeding through your clothes, your bed, having to take off all your
clothes to change a tampon and bleeding all over the office toilet because it a
fucking blood bath sometimes is just degrading enough as it is. Imagine having
to go through it and not have access to tampons and pads, and so you can’t even
hide the fact that you’re on your period, yet it’s still all over the world
considered to be something disgusting, shameful that we need to hide, save the
world from knowing that we are going through.
So when you say “are you on your period again” or something
otherwise degrading about menstruating have a fucking think about what it would
be like if you were bleeding out of your ass for a week every month, with
stomach cramps and social stigma to go with it and hormones
making you pissed off at everything and having some dumb fuck go “you on your
period again?"
How fucking stupid are you? My contempt for men knows no
bounds sometimes.
