  1. B+ yet not Bihari. What's it like being a man wearing red kacchera?

  2. Please address the insane FDA classification of reusable, washable cloth menstrual pads as "medical devices", when they are closer to tiny quilts you can sit on.
    Well done raising this topic ❤️🌺

  3. The thing is we've all cut ourselves and bled, so when guys would freak out about periods- it never made any sense to me. They know what blood looks like. Same thing. Just from another part of the body. 🤷🏿‍♀️

  4. I think the stigma is slowly going away. Thank God.

  5. During Summerian and Babylonian Times, your Menstruation was Called "STAR FIRE" and "The Men of Reknown" would Drink it.

    What would the Benefits be, if I Drank your, "STAR FIRE"???

  6. Men cannot menstruate. That is all.

  7. I have never experience shame for having a period, most of them men I've dated were pretty chill about it.

  8. Poor women. They have periods while men only have a 7 years shorter life expectancy due to making up 94% of work place fatalities, 99% of deaths due to war, 75% of suicides and homicides, 55% of DV victims, 26% victims of r ape and SA at the hands of a woman accompanied by no social aid or legal due process, 63% more prison time and 300% higher incarceration rate to begin with for the same crimes, 78% of homelessness and so on.

  9. This is obsolete. This is what we have to go through. It’s not bad to me.

  10. Impt topic even today. Tysm

  11. I dip it my coffee ☕️

  12. never trust anything that bleeds for 3 days straight and doesn't die.

  13. Normal human biology.
    Easily ignored by educated people.
