    It would be nice if we could have a movie about women who kick ass and eat meninists for breakfasts while seriously tackling PCOS and other reasons that make periods too much to handle but we aren't there yet and we probably won't be for a long time.

    The cool thing about the Channing Tatum Ghostbusters is that if I see someone on social media that's really excited about it I know way ahead of time that they're the worst.

    I don't think this is necessarily fair. I'm kind of excited for both movies because I love the franchise. I want them both to be good.

    THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS

    Why can't we have both in one movie?

    Why can't we have a bunch of awesome ladies that end up saving Channing Tatum's ass because he is attacked by ghosts while preforming at a strip club and they have to save his ass for the good of all humanity?

    I need feminism because people think I

    Look I need it for a whole shitload of reasons. Just go ahead and fill in the blank.

    I think the answer is obvious. A third Ghostbusters movie where the busters are actually ghosts of indeterminate genders. Think 4 Slimers taking out other ghosts, making laughs, eating snacks.

    I'm really hoping that Channing Tatum Ghostbusters is really gay

    Like, uncomfortably gay

    Gay enough to make straight people wish they'd chosen to see the female-led alternative

    And there's definitely no ulterior motive for this on my part

    My wife has endometriosis so her periods are awful and painful and she hurts 75% of the time and therefore I hate periods.

    Seriously, how fucking hard is it to have an action movie starring women?

    I'm still waiting for a Black Widow movie, we aren't getting Captain Marvel until 2018, Gamora was awesome right up until Quill had to be the one to save the day

    ARGH

    The Russo bros doing a ghostbusters movie with Channing Tatum would have sounded amazing if it wasn't also shitting all over the female-led ghostbusters movie.

    Now the whole thing just makes me sad. I love ghostbusters and hate to see it like this.

    Yes this totally sucks

    Periods are gross because we have to get rid of old blood clots while also having to deal with our vaginal muscles being a bitch to our intestines.

    You know what is also gross? Man beer poops. Men missing the toilet or urinal entirely. Men not cleaning up after themselves because their wives or mom are expected to do it for them. Babies that men help make literally pooping constantly.

    (I don't have babies.)

    I mean, no grosser than other normal bodily processes. Our bodies just do some hella gross things. I consider anything involving human-produced fluids to be pretty gross.

    I think the assumption that all afab people are presumed to no have issues during their periods can be as damaging as the assumption that women are useless for that time.

    I spent parts of today doubled over in pain and running to the bathroom because mine is imminent and with PCOS, that'd a bad time. When my senior asked what was going on and I explained, I was basically told to suck it up.

    Feminism includes a huge scope of experiences and choices for women, but I think sometimes people go to the "be a man and suck it up" mindset and that's just bad for both sides.

    I am not grossed out by periods or anything else.

    I had to assist my wife after her c-sections and if I can handle that I can handle just about anything.

  • nukanuka What are circles? Registered User regular
    Saliva grosses me out, and the smell of toilet water makes me nauseous. Life is gross.

    I mean I feel for people if they are disgusted by their own body fluids, I can't imagine how awkward and awful that would be to deal with, but periods in general really aren't that bad and should not be hated as it is.

    Yeah that's pretty much it I guess

    Like, periods are no grosser than pooping

    Except you really should be pooping way more often

    But people don't flip their shit (lawl) over poop they way they flip shit over periods

    I mean, it is said that we swallow approximately a litre of our own mucous every day.

    That's just over a quart of mucous, every day. You, right now, reading this - a litre of the stuff every day.

    Spent this morning telling off one of my coworkers for a) telling me I should be more "nurturing" when I lack sympathy for his little pity party, and b) talking over me. I ain't here for this shit.

    What if they're only excited about "Gambit as a Ghostbuster" ?

    Yeah, what's not cool is getting upset about routine grossness. It's a part of life. For everyone. Don't act like you're some special pure snowflake and deal with it, you babies.

    Now I feel all period-shamed because my period apparently isn't as easy and carefree as other people's

    *cries and hides*

  • nukanuka What are circles? Registered User regular
    When I have a cold and I go to sleep my sinuses drain back into my stomach and it can make me vomit the next morning.

    I think I'm going on too much about how gross life is, I don't mean to tell people to grow up.

    I don't like how uncomfortable I get having to tell my male bosses I need to use the restroom, even if I'm not on my period. I don't like how dependant I've become on my birth control pills because without them I do get cramps, and midol and ibuprofen never seemed to work. I wish that if I was in a bad mood people wouldn't blame it on PMS.

    When I was a shitty, shitty young teenager I gave my Mum shit for complaining about her period pains all the time. She kindly explained to me that in her case, it was like a guy being kicked in the balls constantly. That shut me up pretty quickly.

    I think a lot of men simply have no reference for how trying it can be for women much of the time.
