That’s Nice
If only it were possible to hold in our menstrual periods until it was convenient, life would be much easier for women. However, as we know, that is not the case, and we have no control over our menstrual cycles. Menstruation is just one aspect of what makes it incredibly inconvenient for women. Due to the misconceptions surrounding it, it’s not surprising that men think women are overreacting. We need to continue to educate and inform others about menstruation to debunk these myths and stigmas.
What’s even more surprising is that the individual mentioned in the Twitter thread grew up with sisters and had two daughters, yet he still believed that women could control their periods. One would assume that he would have had an open dialogue with the women in his life about menstruation, but evidently, that was not the case. This scenario highlights the lack of understanding and knowledge surrounding menstruation, even among those who are closest to women. It’s essential to continue the conversation and educate others to eliminate the stigmas and misconceptions surrounding menstruation. By doing so, we can promote a more inclusive and informed society.
