today I was vibing ‘Jolene’ and I absently sung “your beauty is beyond compare, with flaming locks of auburn hair, but you don’t really care for music, do ya?” and then my programming crashed
Has anyone ever taken a pad or tampon out into the light of day only to have boys and grown men back five feet away? This shit is tip of the stigma iceberg that women experience for simply menstruating. How many of those products in the image can cause toxic shock or infections? How expensive are those products? How often do they need to be bought/replaced? These are real issues that affect our health, finances, and social/internalized perceptions of ourselves. Men absolutely REFUSE to acknowledge us for our biology when it’s not sexually appealing to them. They refuse to consider our mental and physiological health, and mock and silence us when we try to talk about it.
Men see a package of pads or tampons and think they’re going to grow a vagina just by looking at it.
Y’all ever get more radicalized to not be straight?
