I get updates on the consistency of the blood and clots coming out of my friends' genitals, and I know who suffers from period shits and of what variety..

What are these stick on menstrual hot packs you speak of?? I've never heard of them... they sound MARVELOUS.

Who knows, but kudos to the men in your life!

That is awesome. It doesn't even enter into their consciousness does it?

You're a lucky lady. The closest to a "chill" attitude I've encountered from a guy about periods is like... not freaking out about it, but also really not interested in hearing anything about it.

HAHAHA NO... but I am now tempted to try it :D

That sounds delightful haha... it can be fun to share your hidden (female) life to men who just have no idea!

Ah, yes. Shitty commenting history, but I still don't think that this particular comment was harmful or offensive... and I don't make a habit of feeding trolls.

Hahaha! The bio lessons part makes it way better... knowledge is power!

This doesn't strike me as trolling given the context.

Once, when a male friend of mine asked why I wasn't at the party that had happened the night before... I made a split second decision to be blunt and honest with him instead of lying or using some silly euphemism to explain my absence. I said "Aw yeah, I wanted to go but I was menstruating and just couldn't deal." His…

Intense, but I like it.

Twu wuv.

At this point, this is how I imagine politicians at work:

15K more?? WOW. Did they both take the jobs? If I knew that my boyfriend was making 15K more than me at the same job, when I had more experience... that would be very difficult to stomach. But what do you do... do you complain and rock the boat and risk your job? Risk being labeled a troublemaker?

But that's kind of the whole point isn't it? Men are desired more by employers simply because they're men... in any field, even female dominated ones.

It sounded like you were trying to justify the gap because of "supply and demand" (which doesn't hold up when you reverse the situation... so it's not supply and demand) instead of sexism. It's cool though.

But somehow women aren't offered a premium salary for working in male dominated fields... hmm.

Awww I love how you can see both the tattoos when you are holding hands... and they're not too matchy-matchy because of the different placements. Well done!

"You absolute potato brain" LOL
