After all these years I’m rarely surprised by medical misogyny, but finding out that the research from the first ever tests on period products using blood instead of water were published LAST WEEK is one of those surprises.
@BethanyBlack 25x more attention on men's pleasure than women's pain. Not exaggerating - a friend of my ex's compared studies; found 400 discussing menstruation, and 10,000 covering ED during the same time frame.
@http_error_418 @BethanyBlack it's exacerbated by the fact that they make period talk taboo.
There isn't anything pleasurable about having periods once a month and men are dangerously uninformed about them.
They should get the talk just like women, it's a perfectly natural body function, there isn't anything sexual about it, having a partner with knowledge that you can confide in would be so helpful to some women, and at least help mitigate misinformation some men have about periods.
