Sick of women complaint about their periods

Sick of women complaint about their periods

I'm sooo sick of listening to women complain about their periods. They feel sorry for themselves a few days a month and make everyone around them feel like shit! Don't blame men if you can't handle a little bit of pain and some blood! Men have been doing that longer than women. Grow up

Islamic things? What, like making sure your wife doesn't get into trouble? It's nothing to do with Islam or religion. It's about making sure the woman is kept in line

Why do women have to follow men's orders?
anonymous 4 years ago
Women are emotional creatures and sometimes their emotions get the better of them and they disgrace themselves and those around them. They need constant reminding by their husband or the men around them on how to act. If she acts out of line she needs to be put back in line. Simple.

It started out as periods but then someone started going on about how women deserve to be controlled by men. I SORT OF agree with this. Not punching women, but using necessary force to keep them in their place. An open hand can be as damaging if properly placed, and it doesn't leave evidence. The point is that men can exercise their right to discipline the woman the same as with kids
anonymous 4 years ago
how is that "sort of" agreeing with it? You just said using an open hand on a woman is better than a fist
anonymous 4 years ago
and how is that anyone's point here
anonymous 4 years ago
No one deserves to be abused??? Not a man, or a woman. The only time you should use violence, if it is used on you first. So like if a man if abusing his wife and hitting her and for NO REASON, fuck yeah smack the mother fucker. And vice Versa: if a woman is hitting a man for NO REASON, then smack the hell out of her bc it is self defense ON BOTH SIDES and no one deserves to be hit for no reason much less physically abused, but either way, you shouldn’t condone to violence on ANYONE. We are human beings and deserved to be treated like ones. Not a bunch of fucking animals wth? If you agree with hitting one, then don’t be surprised when someone starts throwing hands.

But either way: treat each other with respect. No hitting. No abusing. It’s that fucking simple.
anonymous 4 years ago
So basically, my point is, only use it when it is for SELF-DEFENSE. When someone lays their hands on you and MEANS YOU HARM. Other than, you don’t physically touch someone to “keep them in line”. Even if the dumb bitch is “overreacting” as you morons on this site love to say or she cheated on you by chance. If you can’t take it, then dump her and that’s it. Boom! You are free of us emotional creatures.

Dumb fucks.

I love how we label other humans as property.Also we denigrate their pain,everyone's experience is different.Since when is it okay to judge a person by their genitalia and what they have to go through. Our rights as humans should be applied to everyone, we are all humans. We have a right of speech and beliefs. Believe in your property bullshit but don't ever try to push your beliefs as facts.

anonymous 4 years ago
Btw this will be a long comment. I tried to cover most of the topics this conversation went through because I have an opinion to share on these very controversial topics. First of all, I had the same question have been doing what? What is this painful bloody thing you have been having longer than us? This is a legit question. I am for real not trying to be a jerk. And I understand people complaining about their periods but not the over dramatic stuff so many of the girls do all of the time. Like I’m a girl and I don’t just go around trying to make everyone feel bad that I’m on my period. There is no point in that. Our goal in life is to help people and make them happier. Not ruin their day by making them annoyed just because you want some pity. But also women are not owned by men. There are plenty of women that support their husbands financially and many men who do the same. Also men get out of line just as much as women do so it is also the women’s job to keep her spouse in line, but that should never EVER mean any sort of physical punishment or abuse. But I also understand what that one person meant by saying that if girls go to the cops for anything the male gets charged. I, as a woman, totally believe that is unfair. The situation should be looked at fairly and unbiased. But I also understand why they do this (but I’m not saying it’s right). Because a man is physically capable of becoming larger and having more muscles than a female. It’s just a fact. So when a muscular six and a half foot man is accused of hitting a tiny five foot two girl and the man says she hit him first, he goes to jail. And this is kinda because he could have held her off without hurting her or having her damage him while he called the police. But instead his punch may have knocked her out since he is so big and her punch may have made a slight bruise since she is small. Onto my final topic, not all men are bad and not all women are bad. Everyone is different and those stereotypes are so general. You are basing one thing on half of the world and you only know about one millionth of the people you are even talking about. So what I’m saying is just treat everyone with respect and if a girl is talking crap about her period and it annoys you, try to avoid her or not pay attention to her. It’s the best solution and just think about all this people who are also on their periods and have to be annoyed by this one girl annoying them about it. It’s a double lose for them.

Lol wtf, nice chain of comments. Honestly dk why im reading all of them, but lol reeeally neat that demented assholes exist, world isnt really that perfect and lol, theres this taboo about the opposite sex, especially about the reproductive system. Idk yeah it’s annoying and irritating for women to pull out the iM a WoMan card to get away with anything, and it’s also annoying for men to pull out the IM a FuckInG MaN to get away with stuff. Lol it’s really just the same idfk what the fuck happened to the comments lol but it was entertaining, not that downing genders are entertaining or that offending anyone and hurting anyone is entertaining but lol, reading along is just fun, especially if lol everyone’s got different opinions. So what if some guy thinks men should control women, so what if some other person thinks women should get sway with anything, most of society has a conscience, so anything violent or controlling should be hinting at the person through guilt or anything bad. Just lol, whats the point of arguing with people on the internet like with what im doing, not that im taking any sides with the two genders, but am against the violence and negative crap, lol the only purpose is to educate, settle, and to entertain people like me. Sick, but idk n idc. Jfc its just about periods stop making a big deal about it both genders suck, every gender sucks, it sucks that theres a lot of genders like just fucking sort if you have a fucking penis or a vagina.

HOLY FUCK. the men on here saying shit like 'needs to be controlled and disciplined'. I'M FUCKING SPEECHLESS. what is this? a fucking patriarchy? men and women BOTH need to solve their shit. In short, humans regardless of their gender may be toxic. Doesn't mean you get to spew shit out about women being disciplined like some brainless tantrum throwing kid. I understand that there are vile women who take immense benefit by playing the victim card due to the globalised #MeeToo movement. But you're talking about ABUSE. Acting like some uncivilised animal is not what being human means. Asserting dominance is a sick way to deal with any situation. IF YOU'RE SICK ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO FACE HER AFTER BEATING HER BLACK AND BLUE THEN LORD SAVE YOUR ROTTEN SOUL. If a women is abusive then FUCKING LEAVE and get your ass FAR away from her. Report her if necessary. You SHOULD defend yourself if she comes on to you. But throwing fists and hands JUST because she threw a tantrum makes you an abusive bastard.period.
And stop spewing shit about periods not hurting. Not all women are fit as a fiddle. Some of us have PCOS, some have shitty menstrual cycles, some of us have hormonal imbalance. Even for a normal woman , it hurts like hell. yes, we have learnt to live with it, but it doesn't mean we have to be secretive and silent about it. what is this? the 17th century? You haven't been in our shoes and never will be .so shut the fuck up and stop being an asshole. 'men have been doing that longer than women'? What gut wrenching pain and bleeding are you talking about? Your mom pushed you out of the same fucking vagina you're talking shit about.Open your fucking eyes and acknowledge it .You haven't got a fucking idea kid. GROW THE FUCK UP. AND STOP BEING WHINY WHILE YOU'RE AT IT.

jesus christ, just the other day i was wondering why the fuck trump managed to be president four years ago and why he nearly got elected again this year after telling people to inject themselves with literal BLEACH, now i know why. it's because of people like the ones who commented above ^. sure the rant's not the best, me being a woman knows how shitty periods are and how lucky men are to have the ability to rant about us complaining, instead of actually having to just deal with it like we do (like when i was younger i had such heavy periods i would have to make a literal nappy out of pads so i didn't soak my sheets in blood, maybe tmi but you asked for it, and the hormones that came with the period were also shitty, making me depressed, suicidal and anxious for the majority of my teenage years, thank fuck its a bit better now but oml its still so annoying EVERY SINGLE MONTH, and ALSO men complain about getting hit in the nuts but imagine the pain of giving birth, i guarantee most men would die if they had to go through that because they're actually just wusses who cant deal with a bit of pain) anyway sure the rant that started this whole comment section is bad but I MEAN JUST READ THE COMMENTS THIS IS WHY TRUMP GETS SO MANY VOTES IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW THE WORLD HAS WAY TOO MANY PRIVILEDGED RICH UNDEREDUCATED WHITE MEN WHO HAVE EVERYTHING EASY BECAUSE THEY HAPPEN TO HAVE PALER SKIN AND A DICK, LIKE WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT LOGIC so before you comment about CONTROLLING and ABUSING women just think about WHETHER YOU ACTUALLY DESERVE TO BE TAKING UP SPACE ON THIS PLANET, BECAUSE IF YOU a) vote trump, b) are racist, sexist, homophobic or otherwise discriminating to any minority group, or c) have ever intentionally made someone feel like absolute SHIT and not regretted it, then i think i'd rather ANY women took your place here on earth, you can go to mars or something, no-one would miss you

Periods are not just blood coming out of your body. It is accompanied by a chocolate box of cramps (some which make you faint), mood swings to the point of laughing and crying at the same time for no reason (and you can’t control it either), migraines, nausea, back and shoulder pain, breakouts of acne, bloating and so many more I can’t even remember. Worst part is, you can’t even choose which chocolates you get. Life just hands you a random amount and set, you just gotta pray you end up with an empty hand or a mild set. Ever had all these at the same time OP? I guess not.

My gf is fucking gorgeous and all long dark brown hair with blonde streaks, green eyes, tanned skin, a super sexy face, tall, thick with a killer ass but my God she is a fucking annoying crazy dumb ass bitch when she’s on her period! She sometimes gets so fuckin angry that she would hit, punch, scratch me, kick, shove me, dig her fuckin nails into my fucking skin and bite me but she mostly lashes out out of nowhere and cusses ME and everyone out, most of them being male, she says she hates men even she’s on. And on top of that the bathroom stinks like fuck after she’s done using it when she’s on her period smelling like fish. Disgusting ass bitch. The sight of her period blood makes me wanna take her deep in the woods, stab her multiple times then shoot her in the head. I had to sleep in a fucking hotel once because she was so violent. Now I ignore the fuck out of her during her period and sometimes even block her. Dumb ass bitch. When I dump her I’m gonna find myself a sexy mature woman in her 40s or 50s who clearly doesn’t menstruate anymore because I’m sick of this broad

News Flash Periods.Do.Cause.Pain. Maybe instead of getting pissed about how women smell underneath you should wash your ass. I bet you think wiping it once when taking a shit is going to keep your fucking stench away. No woman wants to go down on a man who still smells like shit down there. I would rather smell fish than fucking shit. Periods prepare the body for birth and have you men ever had a period? NO. So shut the fuck up. And just because you got hit in the balls once, which you probably did deserve, doesn't mean you criticize periods and compare them. And to the men understanding the pain women go through when it comes to their periods. Thank you. Honestly. If you have a girlfriend or wife, I know she is lucky to have a man like you in her life.

Fact: periods can be as painful as heart attacks. I hope you get one so you can experience a "little pain and blood" you were talking about
also what the fuck is wrong with the "people" saying women exist to please men and should be "kept in line by all means necessary if they forget" ..? if you think women exist for men, you are implying that men themselves are not capable of doing basic things like cooking or cleaning and have to rely on a woman in order to survive. such sad, codependent creatures...
If women are the emotional ones, why do you boys get so violently angry in these comments and fantasize about hitting them all the time ? Another fact: during a woman's period, her testosterone increases. Funny right? How the MALE hormone is causing all these "problems" youre speaking about :D
you will never be loved by a woman LMAO
also if men can handle periods so well how come you guys cry like babies when a woman brings them up? weak stomach? man up. not to mention your pain tolerance is absolute shit. men are inferior in almost every way
look up men vs women being hooked up to period simulators on youtube.
all of you need some time-out time it looks like, throwing temper tantrums like toddlers, how embarrassing that you didnt get enough attention as a kid

Wow you need to fact checked.Never in my entire existence have I ever heard about a man complaining about being on the period. DO you wanna know why? Cause y'all can't fucking have them. Shut the fuck up with your sorry ass. Men like you always think y'all have to endure the same pain as women and y'all always belittle our problems like yours are worse. TUH. If you have never experienced something, then you can not say a damn thing about it to people who has had to experience it.

Alright kids, it's time to learn about things outside your own experience! Menstrual health education is neglected pretty much globally regardless of sex, so let's learn a few things, yeah? If you're afraid of descriptions of blood, organs, and reproductive anatomy, you probably won’t like this post. Theres also talks of safe sex, and most education systems kind of suck ass at that, so if you want tips there, i've gottem here.

Q1: “What is a period exactly?”
Sadly, a lot of people (most of which in this comment section) don’t understand what is actually happening during menstruation. Let's start with the organs involved in creating a period, just to get a quick scope of things. The organs involved in a menstrual cycle or “period” are the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the ovaries. The hypothalamus is located centrally in the brain and communicates by way of an exchange of blood with the pituitary gland. Several neuroendocrine agents, (hormones) are produced by the hypothalamus. The most important hormone for the menstrual cycle and thus reproduction is called the gonadotropin releasing hormone, (GnRH) It is released every 60 to 120 minutes. GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland to produce a follicle stimulating hormone which is responsible for starting follicle (egg) development and causing the level of estrogen to rise. The Leutinizing hormone, the other reproductive pituitary hormone, aids in egg maturation and provides the hormonal trigger to cause ovulation and the release of eggs from the ovary. The main function of the ovaries is the production of eggs and hormones. Generally, at birth, the ovaries contain several million immature eggs. No new eggs will be developed later in the person's life. These eggs are constantly undergoing a process of development and loss. Most will be reabsorbed without reaching full development. This process of egg loss occurs at all times, including before birth, before puberty and while on birth control pills. The ovary undergoes a constant process of egg depletion throughout its lifetime.

As the levels of Follicle-stimulating hormones and Luteinizing hormones in the blood increase with puberty, the eggs begin to grow and a collection of fluid — the follicle — begins to develop around each one. The first day of menses is identified as cycle day one. Estrogen is at a low point. Therefore, the pituitary secretes Follicle-stimulating hormones and Luteinizing hormone, a process which actually begins before the onset of menses. These hormones in turn stimulate the growth of several ovarian follicles, each containing a single egg. The number of follicles in the monthly "cohort" of developing follicles is unique to each individual. One follicle will soon begin to grow faster than others. This is called the dominant follicle. As the follicle grows, blood levels of estrogen rise significantly by cycle day seven. This increase in estrogen begins to inhibit the secretion of Follicle-stimulating hormones. The fall in Follicle-stimulating hormones allows smaller follicles to taper off, as they have no Follicle-stimulating hormones to keep them in development.

When the level of estrogen is sufficiently high, it produces a sudden release of Luteinizing hormones, usually around day thirteen of the cycle. This Luteinizing hormone peak triggers a complex set of events within the follicles that result in the final development of the egg and follicular collapse with egg extrusion. Ovulation takes place 28 to 36 hours after the onset of the Luteinizing hormone surge and 10 to 12 hours after the Luteinizing hormone reaches its peak. The cells in the ovarian follicle that are left behind after ovulation undergo a transformation and become the corpus luteum. In addition to estrogen, they now produce high amounts of progesterone to prepare the lining of the uterus for implantation.

The luteal phase, is the second half of the menstrual cycle, and begins with ovulation, which lasts approximately 14 days — typically 12 to 15 days. During this period, changes occur that will support the fertilized egg, which is called an embryo, should pregnancy result. The hormone responsible for these changes is progesterone, which is manufactured by the corpus luteum. Under the influence of progesterone, the uterus begins to create a highly vascularized bed for a fertilized egg. If a pregnancy occurs, the corpus luteum produces progesterone until about 10 weeks gestation. Otherwise, if no embryo implants, the circulating levels of hormone decline with the degeneration of the corpus luteum and the shedding of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), leading to bleeding.

“Hold it! The organ sheds?”

Yes, yes it does. The lining of the uterus, or endometrium, prepares each month for the implantation of an embryo. This preparation occurs under the influence of estrogen and progesterone from the ovary. If no pregnancy develops, the endometrium is shed as a menstrual period, about fourteen days after ovulation.

If you have more questions about this process, please contact a fully registered medical professional.

Q2: “Do periods actually hurt?”
There are three main reasons periods are physically painful for a majority of those with fully functioning wombs.

As mentioned, the uterus, the main cause of this mess, quite literally sheds its endometrium. What is the endometrium besides just lining to the uterus? Well, it's a membrane, specifically an organ membrane, which is forcefully contracted away from the uterus, ripping it off of the lining, and expelled during the end of a menstrual cycle without pregnancy. The best equivalent there is to imagining this would be if, any time you needed to go to the dentist, you had to shed your gums. Using the muscles in your mouth, you would have to rip the outer layer of your gums out of your mouth, spit it out, keeping your teeth, and the process of shedding your gums takes at least a week.

“So wait, the uterus pulls off parts of itself from the inside? How?

The uterus has a specific muscle for this job, the myometrium. Period cramps are basically the long process of the myometrium slowly ripping off bodily tissue to avoid internal bleeding. Thinking back to high school physics, we all learned that Newtons (the measurment) represented by the letter N, is the unit of force. It is defined as 1 kg⋅m/s2, the force which gives a mass of 1 kilogram an acceleration of 1 metre per second squared. One N is equal to the force of about 0.2248 pounds (0.1 kg) in the foot-pound-second English/ customary system. The uterus can generate myometrial 20 N to 54 N, with the average being 44 N. Thats 4.48 (2.03 kg) to 11.2 (5.08 kg) pounds. The uterus can easily crush a coke can, and that is essentially what it is slowly doing during the entire menstrual cycle, applying constant force at varying pressures 24/7 until it manages to get the entire endometrium off.

“The entire? The endometrium doesn’t come off all at once?”

Nope! The myometrium isn’t sentient, and while it is as careful as one could be while pulling off a band-aid in a hairy leg, the endometrium comes off in scraps. Thankfully, most of the endometrium debris is dissolved into the body after to save nutrients. That’s one of the interesting things about periods, they don’t drip the way people think they do. Rarely is period blood one constant healthy red colour, it’s also thicker than blood from a cut. While some imagine period blood as constantly liquid, it is mostly… well… chunky. Or goopy to be exact. Guess what period havers? Those brownish red lumps? Thats part of your internal organs, or eggs.

Q3: “So, if the uterus is pushing out body parts or eggs, why do some people not complain as much? Or seem to be in much pain. Are they just stronger? Or are other people being overdramatic?”

All human bodies are different, and on average females have a higher pain tolerance than men near vital parts of the body due to the process of birth. Our bodies adjust to our needs and environments, thats why female brains purposefully discard memories of giving birth, and they get cold more easily as their circulatory system is slightly different. So, why do periods hurt more for some people than others, well thats thanks to a few reasons, for starters, prostaglandins! Think of your body as a computer, and guess what, it needs coded commands to do anything. Yes, anything. Blinking, moving muscles, heartbeats, they all require commands down to the smallest degree, and those commands come in the form of hormones. Hormones are messengers, and they tell your DNA to turn on or off different functions at different times. There is a specific hormone for every type of muscle, including the myometrium.

The hormone for the myometrium is called a prostaglandin, and some people have stronger or weaker prostaglandins than others. Prostaglandins are the cause of muscle contractions and thus the pain of menstrual cramps. Those with weaker or less prostaglandin in their body have a pretty easy time of it, as the myometrium has only a small amount of prostaglandins telling it to contract, and thus, it does so slowly and gently. People with stronger and higher amounts of prostaglandin have incredibly painful cramps as the prostaglandins basically tell the myometrium to “Pull off the band-aid right now! Right now!” and this sometimes happens before the menstrual cycle even reaches the second stage, which makes it all the more painful. The amount and strength of prostaglandin as well as eggs will also affect the length of periods. People with a low egg count and low prostaglandin have relatively painless and easy periods.

Q4: “What happens if the endometrium comes off too soon?”

This is generally a sign of a thin endometrium, which can mean lower fertility, or a Luteal Phase Defect (LPD). A luteal phase defect is a potential cause of infertility. It occurs when progesterone levels are not high enough or not sustained long enough to keep the endometrium intact and prepared for the implantation of an embryo. Theres a lot that can be messed up with the endometrium, such as Endometriosis. Endometriosis is when the endometrium is found outside the uterine cavity. It is a common cause of infertility. While endometriosis is primarily defined by endometrial tissue growing in the wrong places, it can also affect the uterine environment, the endometrium itself, and ovulation.

About a million things can go wrong with the uterus, it's a really complex organ, and incredibly vulnerable due to its high amount of developing cells. Cancer is quite common within the uterus, and thats why PAP smears are done at 18-20 in females, while male specific cancers such as in the prostate are not done until later in life. And all of that isnt even considering what can go wrong with pregnancy or the uterine tract.

Q5: “Is the uterine tract and the uterus in the vagina connected like it is in with a penis?”

Nope! In males, the reproductive and urinary system are connected. Sperm, semen (yes they are different), and urine share the same “pipes”. However, females have two holes, and I bet you have been labelling that entire area completely wrong. There are two lips to the vagina, the outer and inner, with the outer growing hair regularly, and the inner without. At the top of the vagina, in-between the inner lips, is a “bean” called the clitoris, and directly below it is a small hole for the bladder opening. The clitoris has around 10,000 nerve fibres in it designed for stimulation to make copulation easier, meanwhile the penis has around 4,000. If you are looking to stimulate a female partner, try that before inserting anything into a vaginal cavity, as a majority of women require foreplay with the clitoris to loosen the vaginal cavity.

“Did you just say loosen? Vaginas are supposed to be tight, though!”

Word of advice, porn lies. The vagina is a muscle, a muscle with the force of 1.44 +/- 0.38 daN, you do not want the vagina to be “tight” for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, a tightened vagina even with foreplay can be a sign of STDs, which you really do not want to share, have, or get. Secondly, a constricted vagina means the person is not sexually stimulated, and thus the body doesnt secrete the right hormones to relax subconsciously. I would like to note that a relaxed vaginal cavity or an erection doesnt mean that the person themself is aroused or interested in intercourse. Unconscious people don’t want tea, even if their mouth is open.

Q6: “People on their period are super bitchy and aggressive. Why?”
Three reasons:

One, pain. Period pains are like those terrible calf cramps, except they are constant. You know the drumming, building pain right before a calf cramp, or after hitting a part of your body so hard you can barely feel it at first, thats what “normal” period pain is like. Menstrual pain is perpetually like that, until it spikes during a full muscle contraction, although some only have the muscle contraction bits, which is due to a chemical balance called dysmenorrhea, these people risk bleeding out when on their period. A lot of people don’t know this, but there is an official numerical medical pain scale called the numeric rating scale (NRS). Most types of pain are on there and officially numbered, with 0 being no pain and 10 being extreme. The reason the NRS exists is that some people can no longer cohesively communicate after the 9 range, and need numbered assistance. The official pain scale rating of average menstrual cramps is 5-7. For people with dysmenorrhea, the official pain scale rating is 8-10, which is the same as a heart attack. Only recently were people with dysmenorrhea allowed to have medical leave from work, and thats only in one part of Europe.

The second reason people can be testy on their periods is due to the hormone flux. Symptoms of periods aren’t just bleeding and cramps, mensuration symptoms include overheating, increased sweating, insomnia, chronic hunger, water retention (bloating), skin and breast tenderness, and acne. None of these are all that fun, and thats not even considering the actual effects of the hormones on one's brain. During a period, people have rapidly fluctuating estrogen, and estrogen is what helps create serotonin, you know, the chemical that makes you happy? (Yes, males have estrogen as well. Some naturally have more than women, and they don’t appear or act any different.) In fact, you can actually track which part of the cycle someone is in by if they have become more depressed, have higher anxiety, or are more tired due to the fact that the Luteal phase creates progesterone, which causes all of those things.

The third reason is the most shitty. Money. Everything costs money, and one of the things that really costs money is periods. Either by buying pads, tampons, menstrual cups, new underwear, or birth control pills, periods are expensive. Pads are the least likely to put someone into septic shock, and they stick to the bottom of underwear and soak up blood like a napkin. Tampons were originally meant for soldiers to put into bullet wounds, but were also used by nurses during war, and thats where the original concept came from. Tampons are cotton on a string inside a little bullet shaped ejector tube. Many people assume that inserting a tampon is pleasurable, and those people either are inserting it wrong and damaging their g spot as well as risking septic shock, or they don’t know how vagina’s work. The tampon is shoved in, and the cotton expands outwards, sitting at the bottom of the vaginal cavity basically unnoticeable. During its time inserted, the cotton then soaks up blood, and is later removed via pulling a string which hangs out of the vagina during use. You know, those little metal trash cans in women's bathrooms? They’re for tampons and pads, which should be wrapped in toilet paper before being placed inside, as flushing a pad or tampon will clog the toilet. A small, average package of tampons costs $9 USD, and an average small package of pads costs $6 USD, and thats not including the pink tax.

“What is a pink tax?”

The pink tax is a term for the tax on tampons, pads, and menstrual cups in many parts of the United States. There are lots of different types of taxes on items, such as sales tax, luxury item tax, etc. and some items are exempt from these taxes since they are viewed as necessities. In most states in the U.S. Viagra is not taxed, however tampons, pads, and menstrual cups are taxed as, get this, luxury items. In case you didn’t know, a luxury tax item is one that is, not, essential. Some food for thought, besides buying a menstrual cup, tampons, or pads, how do you maintain a period? The lowest amount of blood excreted during a period is 14ml, and it’s not as though you can hold it in your body like urine, since thats not where it comes out of. No, the only option is to insert something that is sterile into the vaginal cavity in order to catch the blood before it gets into undergarments and lower body clothing. And all of this isn’t even considering the fact that the vagina is acidic and burns holes through clothing over time.

“Wait what? Acidic?”

Yup, your body has lots of bacteria in it, mainly for digesting food, and you and them work in a symbiotic relationship. The vagina also has some of these little helpers called Lactobacilli, which produce lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide to prevent infections in the vagina, since it cannot fully close to keep out bacteria like the bladder opening can. The normal vaginal pH ranges between 3.8 and 5.0, so don’t worry about getting burnt.

“Is that why me/my partner/my family members, have holes, and stains on the front of the underwear and not the back?”

Yup, pH has bleaching properties so thats why the area appears bleached and has holes in it, that and also inevitable bleed through. Unless you are constantly wearing a pad, tampon, or menstrual cup, if you have periods, theres no way to tell until you bleed into your underwear.

Q7: “I get they are in pain, and feel like shit. But I’m not an asshole when I get sick? Why should they get to be?”

You’re right, people on their period have no right to disrespect, belittle, or be an ass to those around them. Just as being depressed or mentally ill does not provide an excuse for toxic or harmful behaviour, being on one's period is also not an excuse, however, complaining is not harmful behaviour. As long as they are only complaining about the pain they are in, you shouldnt be purposefully rude to your partner, family member, or friends while they are going through it. Complaining is annoying, but you’re mature enough to tune it out, especially since you can take days off when you’re sick. Only the lucky folks in Italy get parts of their cycle off, everyone else has to go to work/classes, including the ones at medical risk.

I’m not saying you shouldnt find your parents/friends/partners complaining annoying, you have every right to be, but they also have every right to complain. If it helps, that person will be much easier to convince getting snacks/eat out while they are experiencing cravings, and they probably need the sugars due to the amount of energy their body is expending. At the end of the day, cut your menstruating friend some slack, but also, don’t be afraid to stick up for yourself. They don’t get to walk all over you, and you don’t get to downplay their pain. Offer them some pain meds and remind them to drink water, once their hormones return to normal, and they have the proper chemicals back in their system, they will be thankful. As it turns out, being unbothered by discussion of periods, and female anatomy, as well as being just generally decent to my past girlfriends while they were on their periods scored me a lot of points with women. Also, it just makes you more of a good person, and we need more of those in the world. Be chill about it, dudes.
