just why? we couldn't possibly admit that being a woman isn't necessarily all sunshine and roses because that would be Letting the Men Win. instead we're going to cover our ears and be incredibly unsympathetic and arrogant towards our fellow women. #feminism

sorry the ibuprofen took a little too long to kick in today. the post was fine but the comments were incredible, the way these people twist themselves in knots to accuse women with xyz period symptoms of internalised misogyny lmfao. 'silly, you don't hate the period, you hate the pain (which i'm going to pretend is unrelated somehow).' 'actually it's uncommon to get period pain' (doesn't really help those that do get it though does it?). 'sneezing and shitting are inconvenient but we don't demonise those' i fucking give up man

i have to wonder if people like this are genuinely incapable of wrapping their head around the very basic concept that their experiences are not universal
