(February 5, 2017 at 5:00 am)BrokenQuill92 Wrote: Fellow feminists can we square something for a second? I'm not brainwashed by patriarchy because I think periods are gross. Newsflash people all blood is freaking gross. Especially when it's mucus-y and coming from my lady bits once a month for 2-3 day and it smells awful. I understand the process and purpose fully. I'm not ashamed of it. But I am disgusted. And I have every right to be. So what if it's natural. Poop and pee are natural and they are still gross. It seems to me that third wave feminism has good ideas and building blocks. But it can't see the forest for the trees. WoC, disabled women, queer women, issues of biological women's health, all need work. But which issues come first is splintering us. And still self serrated. I'm babbling...

Agreed. It is gross. And it is painful. And I FEEL gross the whole time I have my period.

I flatly refuse to have sex while I have my period. I don't even want to cuddle. Hell, I don't mind if I don't see or even talk to him for a week.

I love men and I love sex, but any boyfriend who tries to give me advice on how sex will make me feel better during my period,
is welcome to go and find himself another girl. Conversation over.

I am hardly what you'd call inhibited; I'm sorry, it's just fucking gross and I don't feel good, during my period anyway.

Yet, when I hit menopause, I will miss it terribly. Go figure.
