“ANYTHING MEN CAN DO I CAN DO BLEEDING”
“Now, you’re probably thinking that all this bleeding must be detrimental to my work. After all, humans need their blood to make spreadsheets and eat salads and attend internal debriefings. Well, you would be wrong. Dead wrong. You know what isn’t dead though? Me after bleeding constantly for seven days.
Remember that meeting yesterday? The one where you talked over me repeatedly, so that I was forced to yell over you? It was so fun, both of us yelling like that. Weren’t you pumped? I was so pumped, but I was also pumping blood out of my uterus. That’s right, my life force was being pumped out of my body and into my pants — my fashionable, androgynous, business pants. Sure, that meeting was high stakes for you, but just one sneeze and it would’ve been all over for me. Seriously, it would’ve been all over my very expensive pants.”
Menstruation is often the worst, but I’m gonna be real honest, I don’t know what I would do if there was some floppy tissue hanging between my thighs, and also sometimes it would involuntarily turn into an uncomfortable stick.
Aaah that’s so weird
How do you even bike
