unhinged and
unfortunate things men
have said about periods
(part three)
my dad said period cramps are a "slight discomfort"
just loud and wrong
We went on vacation and the day before we were leaving I got my period and he told me to just take a pill to stop it.
my dads coworker complained that there was a free tampon dispenser in the bathroom. he asked so
what do we get for free?
I had to explain that it doesn't come out like a
smooth liquid.... it has texture.
My bf thought that you bled like maybe every
twenty minutes or so not constantly
omg wait until they find out what happens if you stand up too fast
My boyfriend only has brothers. So he knew nothing
about periods when he started dating me. When I
told him that sometimes I sync up with other women
if I'm around them for to long and he asked me it it
was like a Bluetooth thing
my dad confidently told a room full of women that
they're supposed to feel at their best during the
LUTEAL phase...
I once got asked if using a tampon while dating a
guy was considered cheating
not my own story but someone in a comment
section said that a man told them that "period blood
is actually invisible and the pad makes it red" ????
My dad said periods isn't a reason to stay home
from school..
if I hear one more person saying "kids shouldn't be
taught about periods in school" I'll show them this
