I like how men tell us that periods are somehow simultaneously “not that bad” and also bad enough that we shouldn’t be allowed to hold positions of power.

This is a very important and powerful text post.

While this is a legendary post, I feel it could be a little more specific. Men tell us that the physical pain is ‘not that bad,’ but that the emotional/mental side effects of periods are bad enough that we shouldn’t hold any power. To put it another way: men refuse to empathize with our pain, and then they discredit our mental capacity. That’s hatred in a nutshell.
