Okay, here’s an example of a double standard on the guys’ side…

If a man comes on talking about his bodily functions, chances are he’ll be scolded, blocked, muted, even reported. Right ?
But women come on speaking at length about their periods, etc. No comments.
I’m a [b]woman[/b] and that’s still TMI…yikes. 😩

I will actually disagree with you here. I dislike that women are made to feel ashamed by having a period and cannot talk openly about it.
I have, over the course of my adult life, really suffered with my periods and not talking about it delayed any help i could have received at a younger age. I just did not know what was normal and that something could be done about it. The more we openly discuss the issues women face the eadier it is for us to have access to the support we need.

There was a poem i read some time ago that was about this

[c=800055]apparently it is ungraceful of me
to mention my period in public
cause the actual biology
of my body is too real

it is okay to sell what's
between a woman's legs
more than it is okay to
mention its inner workings

the recreational use of
this body is seen as
beautiful while
its nature is
seen as ugly

@InOtterWords Okay, but I’ve [b]seen[/b] guys called "pervs" here for talking about [b]their[/b] bodies, like ours are somehow sacred and theirs aren’t.
How is that fair ?
