Rant

[pixiecrinkle]

Another thing I keep seeing in various places: women apologizing to "guys" for any mention of menstrual products. I'm not talking about in depth discussions of gushing blood, which should probably be cut in the interest of protecting the squeamish of both genders, but rather someone uses a phrase such as "She asked me for a tampon", then says "sorry guys -- lol."

If said guys are that offended, I don't understand how they can watch television or walk into a grocery store, so I think their problems are larger than we can handle here.

I remember reading somewhere, the idea that if men had periods, they'd brag about how much blood they passed, and "tough" it all was, and any supporting products would be loudly displayed. ;^)

sadly, that's probably true.
