guys. come on. you knew this was coming (that's what she said). i'm a woman with a fucking uterus.
also there's going to be A LOT of feminine rage in this chapter
ANYWAYS
what i find absolutely OUTRAGEOUS is that -from my experience and other ppl's stories- when you're like between the ages of 8-12, they pull you out of class at school and absolutely scar you for life, telling you that you will be bleeding until your dying days.
FIRST OF ALL
WERE FUCKING KIDS BRO
second of all, society just EXPECTS us to know how the fuck this works. like i understand there are no tutorials on how to insert a fucking tampon bc that's fucking gross. BUT LIKE YOU CANT JUST BE LIKE "oh yeah, have this weird looking thing and put it up there" AS IF EVERYBODY KNOWS WHERE THAT IS.
third of all, bleeding through pants, leggings, shorts, dresses, skirts, etc. ITS THE WORST AND WE FEEL BAD ABOUT IT BECAUSE ITS EMBARRASSING AND "GROSS" instead of laughing. give me something to fucking wrap around my waist.
FOURTH OF ALL,
I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME PERIODS ARE IRREGULAR, BUT THE DAMN PERIOD TRACKING APPS DONT HAVE TO LIE TO ME
i've had friends tell me how their app told them it was in a few days EVEN THO IT WASNT
at this point my estimation is more accurate.
fifth of all (there's a lot of points)
why do we have to feel so embarrassed about opening any sort of period products in bathrooms? like, for me, i try to open it like a bag of chips in the middle of the night. idk why we're so embarrassed but we (at least me) are
sixth of all
why is it "cool and grown up" to use tampons and "immature and baby-like" to use pads. I DONT WANT TO SHOVE A GODDAMN COTTON STICK EVERY MONTH FOR SEVEN TO NINE DAYS
i find pads easier even though they are also kind of fucking annoying
seventh of all
i want my ovaries to stop wanting to have a baby. stop it with the eggs every month. i'm a fucking virgin.
eighth of all.
those damn pad/tampon/period commercials make me want to fucking shoot myself "LiVe YoUr LiFe ThE wAy YoU wAnT aNd Be HaPpY". dont fucking tell me what to do. i don't want to go on my day as if it's fucking perfect bc it's fucking not. i want to sit in my room with a family size bucket of ice cream while i watch hamilton, sobbing my eyeballs out.
ninth of all
cramps. GIRLY. those vids of others trying the period cramp simulator are so humbling. i know many many MANY people suffer from gut-wrenching cramps and you literally have both my sympathy and respect. i am one of those people who don't really get cramps but when i do, they feel like fucking 163926519189257975 nuclear bombs going off all at the same time
tenth of all
IM AFRAID TO WEAR MY FAVOURITE VERY STYLISH AND FASHIONABLE OUTFITS DURING MY PERIOD BECAUSE IM TERRIFIED TO RUIN IT
so i dress like a slob, which makes me hate myself, which makes me want to shoot myself (again) and then it just adds to the eighth point of ice cream, hamilton, and crying.
eleventh of all
THE AMOUNT OF BLOOD ON THE SECOND DAY IS ENOUGH FOR EVERY SINGLE REAL AND FICTIONAL VAMPIRE (but that's gross so)
BUT LIKE WHAT THE FUCK
twelfth of all
i know SO many ppl pissed at this and i am too
when teachers/professors say "no you can't go to the bathroom because _______________"
HONEY
DO YOU WANT A BLOOD RED CHAIR?
DO YOU WANT ME TO SUFFER?
DO YOU WANT ME TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE
i especially hate this when it's someone else with a fucking uterus. because they know what it's fucking like. we can't fucking control it lady. let me go to the fucking bathroom.
i also hate it when the reasons i can't go is because
1) "you just had a break"
2) "wait for smo to come back" GIRL WHAT DO YOU THINK WERE GONNA DO? ALSO THAT PERSON MAY TAKE AN ETERNITY (happened in wayyyyyyyy too many cases)
3) "can you wait? i'm about to start a lesson" translation: "no you can't, i'm about to rant about random shit for hours and show you a 45 hour documentary about everything i just told you"
4) or when you're like having cramps or it's your second day and you're doing smth active that is required or a class and you ask the teacher to take it easy or smth and they're like "nO, iT's No ExCuSe" NO ITS NOT AN EXCUSE IM SAYING THAT I DONT WANT TO CONSTANTLY HAVE THE ANXIETY OF AM I BLEEDING THROUGH OR NOT
thirteenth of all
why do we have to fake that we're okay? and i swear when people ask "omg why are you acting like this" and you say "i'm on my period" and they just give you a side eye LIKE SHUT UP
october 20, 2023 update: i swear the universe looked at me after writing this and said "suffer" i'm lying in bed dying, wanting to cry, watch hamiltona nd eat a bucket of ice cream bc i'm in pain but i have to fucking work today.
okay
i think that's all
also
surprisingly
i wasn't on my period writing this. but like. i've always wanted to rant. because it's fucking frustrating and difficult.
OKKKKKKKKKKKK I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
what do you do when on your period/what would you do?
