i was shocked yesterday when a good friend asked me how i was, and i told him i had painful period cramps, and he said "woah, too much info!". why is it too much info? becuase he didn't really want\to know how i was or because peroids are dirty nasty things that girls should be ashamed of and try their best to hide from the men folk? why should i deny something that is a big part of my subjective experience as a woman? i mean, really, i'm not about to describe content and colour but it's something that afects me and why shouldn't i mention it too a good friend? don;t get me wrong i'm not being an extreme feminist, and i don;t want to paint with it or anything like that, but to cover it up and pretend it doesn;t exist for the sake of some men? no wayit's nothing to be ashamed of and if they don;t like hearing about it then they should try going through it. and they say "eugh, that's gross we don;t want to hear that" while they have their hands down their pants muttering about betty swollocks! fucking hypocrites.
please note: i KNOW this is a generalisation of menfolk. I'm not being sexist just ranting about a personal experience that affected me.
/end rant
