This post does not need a triggerwarning. PERIOD.

It is a good thing, I think, that women start to become more open about their period and that the general spirit is changing towards not being ashamed being seen with one of the products that go with it. I fondly remember when some girls back in highschool used to almost get a heart-attack when I passed them a tampon in the middle of the classroom ("OMG what are you doing??" *covers tampon with something*) or when they would pass them to me super discreet as if it were something that no one must ever see.
Much like the eyes of a Basilisk.

What I do find a bit irritating though is, that very often when women on social media talk about - not even period-details themselves - but only mentioning period-related sanitairy products or recommending them - many feel like they have to apologize to their male viewers I suppose.

Why is that?

As a women - to be quite honest - I find this quite offensive.
Why do I need to apologize for using something, that I have to use because of my natural body functions that I never asked for in the first place?

I won't let the excuse that period-related information is insignificant for men count - there are so many things that don't apply to certain groups of people. Imagine how ridiculous it would be: "if you are sensitive to the topc of ...well..you know.. *whispers* non-animal-product-things, you might want to skip the next minute", "so if you ain't into fairytales - sorry - I will mention some throughout the video, just that you know...", "If you are somehow triggered by cats, please skip this entire video."

There is a lot of stuff on the internet that I don't want to hear about, but I don't need a warning or a suggestion to skip, as I can do fine myself.


Just because it makes someone feel unconfortable, doesn't mean it needs it's own warning - let aside the fact that I don't quite understand how exactly it does make some men feel uncomfortable - they don't have the monthly cramps, mood-swings and other troubles that come with it haha.

This is weird and unecessary and we should move on.
It's natural, deal with it.

And here is a wee video because I though it was quite epic.~
