She is not an asshole. She is just on her period!
Gentlemen, what if you menstruated? What if it were you whose bright days were ravaged with something you can’t trace, punching as if to squeeze and crush all your insides? What if you had to stock pads around penises every five freaking days in a month? And apply skincare for the next week to heal the burns and rushes the tampoons left you with so it stops itching?
What if you were part of the embarrassment festival! Off guard standing in a crowd, a heavy flow marked on your trouser? Don’t say you’d know your days, every period hits different!
Back pain. Chest pain. Stomach aches. Fibroids. Smelling like a butcher down there! Ain’t cute, right?
Well, we go through this shit since we’re thirteen or less!
You’d be the ones fidgeting to call your besties after realizing you’re late, promising God you will never misbehave if you’re not pregnant this time. You’d be the irrational ones, perceiving that no one cares, everything is fake and you’re so alone. You’d feel less sexy even after trying out ten outfits, You’d have to double-check your menstrual calender before going on vacation with bae. You’d be the ones dizzy with excitment when you think a period is finally over, until it comes back even angrier.
That’s when it would get out of your control brothers! Bleeding for five fuckin days would make you want to smack the hell out of someone. That’s when you’d drown into the “Don’t fuckin talk to me… I hate your guts” schenigans to your partners!
That’s at least half of how it would be gentlemen!
And with how you love being praised, I staunchly believe you’d throw a party after every period, to celebrate your clout, fortitude and endurance! You’d ask us to buy you gifts for being such strong martyrs! A national menstrual day would be declared!
Yet, you still castigate girls for going overboard with the cramp emotional rollercoaster!
All normal girls turn into hormonal monstrosity. Planned Parenthood indicates that most girls and women have emotional discomfort, know as the Premenstraul Syndrome (PMS) about a week before menstruation, during and after menstruation. Symptoms of PMS include depression and other mood changes, appetite changes, backaches, difficulty breathing, fluid retention, headaches, irritability, insomnia, sweating, and tender breasts.
Does that look like an enjoyable experience to you?
Of course logic will assert that cramps don’t play the part for girls are always angry and emotional! Tell you what? A cramp a is mismatched pain. And no one ever gets used it!
I’m 22 and my underskin irritates every month! Who gets used to that? It’s exhausting!
There’s nothing we do on our period without our knowledge, but we just lose it! We know we act moody, shitty and it gets pretty frustrating even to us! But what is there to smile about anyways?
