Boys and .s

Why do boys / men always freak out about periods? It makes me very upset because first of all, they always make the situation weird and then don't wanna touch or be around you until you're not diseased anymore. The second reason it bothers me so much is that IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO YOU! It's been happening to me since I was 11; you're an adult and freaking out. I know it's gross but you saying "eww" every time doesn't help. This is directed towards every male-type humanoid on the planet. You guys burp out loud, poop with your penises in the toilet, some don't shower, some wear dirty clothes, some have the most disgusting things lying around their rooms that I don't even wanna get into, and my period is the grossest thing in the world? Makes perfect sense.

I want to retract what I said about talking to ALL male-type humanoids on the planet, because there are some very sweet boys and men who still cuddle their girlfriends and are very sympathetic. Others, who are incredibly smart, keep track of when their girlfriend's last period was so they know when to expect the next one. This kind of blew me away. Incredibly kind and thoughtful. While I'm on the subject of being kind, Male-type Humanoids: first of all. Don't ever say ANYTHING close to: "wow, you're really upset. Are
You on your period?"

This makes us females so upset because it implies that we are always angels except when we are going through menstruation, which is not true. Sometimes, we're just angry. Just like sometimes YOU're just angry.

Another thing to never say is "Calm down." that is THE. WORST. THING. YOU. CAN. POSSIBLY. SAY. TO. A. FEMALE. Never mind what "Calm down" actually means, what it sounds like to us is "You're crazy and I can't handle you like this. Please stop being crazy."

I just want to reiterate how pleased I am to have found out that there are some men that make women still feel awesome during the worst time of the month. Every month. For the rest of their lives. Bravo, few awesome men.
