Men don’t even have a period…?

Lets be real sis, lets be honest sis. If men had periods there would be a paid week of leave from work. The monthly pain some women experience is crippling especially women who have endometriosis. Women aren’t being a whiny bitch or exaggerating. If men had a set of ovaries rather than a set of balls then maybe they could brag on “ Grow a pair”.

Pads, tampons, and diva cups would be free. Why is it we even have to buy those things yet free bleeding is frowned upon? What if that woman doesn’t have the means to those things? So my female body bleeds every month against my will, its nature but I HAVE to buy the things I need for it yet if I cant and choose to free-bleed that’s also wrong..? No not public bleeding in people’s furniture or public transportation but at home I’m shamed.

If women can do everything a man do WHILE bleeding, cramping, also lets add some more symptoms such as tired, nausea, headache, back pain, hot flashes and even more some women have listed! What makes some misogynistic men think we are less than or weak? If anything we are pretty strong.. oh I didn't even bring of pregnancy and birth.
