period.

05Sep08

i know that a lot of women complain that it is soooooooooooo much easier to be a female than a male because of “this” many reasons; and normally i dont really care about picking which gender has it harder in life.

however, i will say that it seriously sucks going through one’s menstrual cycle.

for those 5-7 days, it is just terrible.

not only is there the constant bleeding involved, but it also comes with stomach pains, bloating, and the overall feeling of ickyness.
so you may think: eh, not too bad.
then i will ask you this question: do you know what it feels like to constantly be paranoid about whether or not you will bleed through your pants/skirt/dress because you forgot to bring that extra pad/tampon and there is no way of getting a hold of either one in the next few hours?
have you ever had an accident like that ever happen to you and have not been able to somewhat discreetly cover it up (even though there really isnt any possible way to do so anyway)

when girls say that they feel “bloated”. it means that there stomachs literally do kind of puff up and it seriously affects them when they try to wear those jeans that just came out of the dryer.
have you ever thought that you wouldnt be able to get out of bed because your stomach hurt so much? and then those cramps reoccurred throughout the rest of the day for a week and you cant just stay in bed because you have to go to work/school/do stuff?
do you ever have to tell your friends that you cannot go to that waterpark or swimming marathon with them because it is your second day on your period (which is kind one of the heaviest days)?
have you ever been asked by one of your friends “is it that time of month?” or “are you on your period?” just because you snapped back at them and NO, YOU WERE NOT ON YOUR PERIOD. a girl has a right to get mad too.
have you ever been so irregualar that you never know when you are going to get your period and are basically left helpless in mother nature’s hands?
I HAVE, AND PROBABLY MORE…(uhh, too much info eh?) anyway, i could seriously go on. but i wont because i kind of want to start a slightly different sub-topic.

i think that the physical pains that women feel during their menstrual cycle is just prepping them for the big one. yes, actually giving birth.
the terrible stomachaches that women go through is to train them so that when they are going through actual labor pains, it wont be as bad. or at least the pregnant women will be able to brace themselves and sort of comfort themselves knowing that this is the moment theyve been training for ever since they were 14 years old.
um…unless labor pains are totally wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy different and 289349823 x’s more painful. then that just sucks.

okay i am done.

by the way, i dont understand why guys get all uncomfortable over topics like menstruation. if you like girls, and you want to get a girlfriend/married, you have to understand that your significant other goes through that every month so you should just get used to it.

and if you get uncomfortable just over that, how the heck do you plan on being able to openly take a huge dump in the bathroom and consciously know that your girlfriend/wife also knows that as well? you cant be embarressed about stuff like that because it’s natural.
