the period project

rant sixty-six: shaving

anonymous 

So let me get this shaving deal straight.

We're supposed to:

-pretend like we're fine when we can't control our freaking emotions

-act like we don't have cramps

-not complain about it even though our vaginas are tearing themselves apart

-cover up the acne we get when we're on our periods by slathering makeup on our faces

-not wear too much makeup because guys think it's fake

-do our hair and crap when we feel like crap

in the meantime blood is pouring out of our uteruses but who cares about that huh

and then on top of all of that all of that

we're supposed to take the time to fRICKING CUT EVERY LITTLE HAIR OFF OF OUR LEGS AND UNDERARMS BECAUSE GUYS THINK THAT BODY HAIR IS GROSS

WELL NEWSFLASH GENTLEMEN

YOU HAVE FREAKING BODY HAIR

I DONT SEE YOU SHAVING ALL OF THAT OFF

AND YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO DEAL WITH GIRL CRAP

YOU DONT HAVE TO DEAL WITH ANYTHING

and also it's okay for you men to walk around without a shirt on but if a girl does it then it's OBSCENE

like what is this

okay whatever I have to go not shave
