Girls, why are some of you so open about your periods?

[Anonymous]

I have numerous stories about this, but the most recent one is that my neighbor posted to her Instagram story that she was having really bad cramps. In the story, her husband was forcing her to drink pickle juice because it’ll help.

Why are some of y’all so open about your period?

Why would we not be it's a part of life why are you boys so open about your wet dreams are you just jealous you don't get a period I mean what kind of question is this why does it bother you? You remind me of the people who get grossed out by women who are publicly breastfeeding get over it you must be some young fool who's still wet behind the ears now this is in my opinion a dumb question you're basically shaming ask women for having periods do you even know what a period is technically I'd love to hear your opinion on it what is a period do you know what happens during your period and don't cheat I want to know what you think without looking it up this is like asking somebody why are you so open about your wet dreams you know you guys are and why we're talking about it why do all you football players hit each other on the asses so openly just curious...😆

I’ve never talked about a wet dream publicly or posted it to Instagram. Lol WHAT? Not really a bother, just a curiosity. I rarely see a woman publicly breastfeeding, so that’s never crossed my mind!

I didn’t mean to shame her or any woman. It’s just a subject I figured one would save for a “girl’s chat”, not an Instagram story to 700+ followers. I don’t like football and don’t care for hitting another man’s ass… that’s just weird.

Without cheating, I’ll just go with what my dad told me as a teen… It’s a part of a women’s “purification cycle” where she may bleed for 3-7 days and has to wear a tampon or pad. Wearing a heating pad or taking Tylenol may help with cramps. Some women crave different foods like chocolate during this time.

Because why not?

It’s nothing to be embarrassed about and it’s one of the many tribulations women across the globe have to deal with. Women are told to be quiet about so many things and we’re growing pretty tired of it. I mean, if men are allowed to ask us if we’re on our period every time we’re emotional or confrontational, shouldn’t we be allowed to openly talk about our periods?

[Asker]

I never ask women that question. I don’t know what kind of guy would even think about asking that. Maybe an immature one.

[thatshydork]

I grew up with a bunch of young men and boys asking that question and so has pretty much every woman I know.

Because they are shameless creatures

They don't have any dignity or self respect!!!

Some topics shouldn't be discussed among the public... normal people are not celebrity to get their reputations hurt!!

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Because it's a natural & normal thing our bodies do. I mean, we have to listen to guys talk about their penis, boners, sperm, etc. and we just have to deal with it. So, what's wrong with it being the other way around? My dad on the other hand, I'm not even suppose to mention anything about a woman's body functions around him.

[Smashingdoozy]

Because it shouldn't be something that is hidden away like it's dirty and taboo. It's a natural thing that half the population experience. It should be normalized.

I am glad you said some. I don't know anyone that openly talks about something so personal.

[SweetDripp]

Different people are more open about such things than others. To each their own.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

It’s a universal feminine experience. It’s the same as a bunch of men talking about their dick sizes

[Asker]

I never talk about my dick size. Lol

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Do you make or have ever heard a dick joke?
