Let’s get into some shit that no one wants to talk about. Periods. I’m just going to say it, but I hate them. I hate mine. I hate the commercials for all the purple wrapped products. I hate the crappy way I binge on junk for a week out of the month. When I get that happy warning beep on my iPhone app that my cycle is rolling to a stop I kind of flip out.
I should probably pump the breaks on all the hate talk, since this is a normal body function that happens to most women every month for the majority of their life. It is no different that pooping (yes, ladies poop), or blue balls, or headaches. All normal run of the mill bodily functions. Part of becoming a feminist though, and to be frank, an adult, is to admit and understand what you do and don’t like. You don’t have to like your bodily functions. True story.
Here are the reasons why periods suck.
