society:oh you have your period? well you have two
options.
woman:okay.
society:you can use sanitary pads, which make you feel
like you are wearing a diaper, and have the added fun benefit of
being extremely uncomfortable and give you the extreme paranoia
that they will not be enough coverage and at any moment with any
movement or sudden sneeze you'll bleed over onto your clothes
and walk around all day with blood stained trousers while everyone
points and laughs at you.
woman:sounds awful. what's my second
option.
society:a peni$ shaped wad of cotton that you shove
uncomfortably inside yourself and it catches the blood before it
leaves your body.
woman:still seems pretty awful.
society:wait! it gets better! there's the outside
chance that using those will kill you!
woman:well, are they at least free? like how men can have
access to free condoms? i mean, it's not like i'm choosing
for this to happen.
society:HAHAHA! that's funny. no, you have to pay for
them. and they're really fu*king expensive.Oh, and if you tell anyone that you ARE on your
period, your judgement, opinions, and reactions are going to be
dismissed as the crazy ramblings of a
lunatic.
woman:i think i'll go with my third
option.
society:what third option?
woman:i think i'll bleed on everything you
love.
