Welllllllllllllll periods suck(trust me, I was emotionally close with a woman, in fact close enough to feel her goddamn periods. Fuck I fucking hated it, men, don’t get that attached. Be supportive, feed her ice cream and whatever else she asks for, but don’t get attached enough to feel them. It’s not worth it.
Anyway, I hate to be callous but that’s just your body telling you to hurry up and get pregnant. Of course birth control also makes them not as bad, depending on what kind. Of course you find out that there’s more kinds of birth control than there are types of oil, which is a pain. There are more period blood containment things(yes, tht includes tampons, pads, cups, etc.) than there are types of oil according to my dad who actually knows his shit about the oil,saying there’s like 4 types.(Yes, talking about motor oil here)
So ladies, find what’s right for you. Ask a doctor. Test some different period things out. It’s for your own good
What the FUCK are you talking about
I thought I couldn’t fucking read for a minute
What
Did. This guy just. Assume women didnt. Know that. Did he just mansplain periods
i know we all wanna make fun of the guy who mansplained periods to women which yes is very very dumb out of context
but also i skimmed thru the blog and if he’s not lying he’s autistic and legitimately did not realize he was being condescending and speaking unnecessarily. so like. there’s that.
I appreciate you pointing this out, but like
I wouldn’t want to be given a pass for this kind of thing, you know?
He acts like women are fucking pets or commodities that come and go (“feed her ice cream, but don’t get attached”)
And, like… It’s not like he’s just some awkward nerd, it’s not like all he did was condescend or mansplain periods. What he said was misogynistic.
And I don’t really want to be compared to that? I don’t want to be told that it’s ok to be a huge asshole just because “you’re autistic, you can’t help it.”
And don’t get me wrong, I know that’s not what you’re saying, and I agree with your general message (don’t be so quick to ridicule people who might not realize why their behavior is considered weird or “out-of-line”). But we have to be careful not to seem like we’re excusing shitty behavior, right? Autism isn’t an excuse for viewing women as objects or without proper agency. Not for me or for any other autistic men.
