I am legit NOT SORRY
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 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.
I could never be a dentist. Looking in mouths is ucky.

Yesterday in the breakroom at work this one lady was having a very loud phone conversation with her SO about how she just saw 50 shades and "oh gawd we have to get chains and whips and you can do this stuff to me too" etc. and I was equal parts wanting to scream at her "Inappropriate workplace conversation!" and "No don't take lessons from that movie it's horrible!"

I managed to get myself into a conversation/debate/argument with an MRA over Reddit PMs and I know I should just block him and forget about it but I can't leave well enough alone because I have an insufferable need to correct people when their facts are wrong
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 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.
It's less "grow up" and more "get some damn perspective" because people are selective with what they're willing to be tolerant of and most of them don't even realize it.

I don't think you're less of a woman Metalbourne. Just kinda jealous you don't have to deal with them, honestly.
When I was in puberty my periods were extremely heavy but I wasn't given the resources to deal with them as I should have been. They lasted like 12 days every month and for that entire school year I had stained pants and I had to clean up my seats after class. No single teacher spoke to me about it. I was afraid to leave class for the restroom because I was extremely uncomfortable about people staring at me. Occasionally students spoke to me about it but I just felt helpless.
(I guess this is more of a story about how little my mom cared or how she wanted me to feel humiliated, but at least no one teased me for it.)

Now I feel all period-shamed because my period apparently isn't as easy and carefree as other people's
*cries and hides*
I feel period shamed because I don't get a period and some people think that makes me less of a woman.
Does it bother you when ladies who get periods complain about them
Are you like, "I would murder a meninist if it meant I could have periods, stfu"
If this question is rude please let me know and also ignore it
No, it makes me more angry that we're stuck in a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario. If your period causes problems, you're a sissy, and if your period doesn't, you're probably a man.

That is such a giant crock of shit. So many women don't get periods, for a huge number of reasons. That logic chops out a fairly sizeable %of the female population.
I agree with Sheri, this legitimately infuriates me
but I get to have a dilator hang out in me for fifteen minutes, almost daily
when I was living alone, it would just hang out on the bathroom counter when not in use
now I'm all self-conscious about this stuff
uuuuuuuuuuuuuugh
I had to set a weekly alarm on my phone literally titled "Dilate your damn vagina" because I kept forgetting to. It was not unheard of me to go a month or more without remembering to.
Mine just stays on my clothes drawers next to my jewelry box.

I never thought about it but holy shit it makes sense as a thing you'd have to do
Moderately related: I have to set an alarm to take my birth control because I have a godawful memory
I had no idea dilation is a thing but the more I think about it the more it makes sense.
Some medical sources say that dilation is needed post surgery regardless of anything, my surgeon told me that if I was having penetrative sex at least once a week I wouldn't need to dilate.
Trans medicine is very experimental.

Yeah, our bullshit system is full of false dichotomies and no-win situations. It's what happens when you base value-judgements on arbitrary characteristics. You'd think people would notice and, you know, do something about it, but nooooo.

We give them to patients who have had radiation therapy to their lower pelvis, because vaginally stenosis is a real risk after treatment. The compliance rate is so low when patients are told it's to allow them to continue having PIV sex comfortably (although they will usually always require a lubricant due to dryness also being a side effect). But when you tell them that it's to allow for better future pelvic exams, compliance rates go up.
So many women, especially of a slightly older generation place little to no mass on their sexual health and wellbeing, and I find that so sad, considering research and care for patients with ED following prostate cancer treatment is so much better.

It might not be exactly the same but probably similar but for post-RT patients we advise dilation even if you're having penetrative sex!

Today in class I got the highest grade by a large amount and I decided not to be shy about it but be proud of my hard work paying off. Thanks, feminism!
If it's not too personal to ask, what class was it?
Late reply, was in a lecture sorry! Landscape architecture. I got an A+ which is 80+%, didn't specify had to convert. The highest grade you can get here is a first, which is 70% and above so I smashed it. No one else got more than 65%.
We need feminism because a woman becoming a grandmother raises questions about her running for president that weren't raised for the man who is a grandfather several times over.

Having my period is my least favorite part of being a woman, I certainly wouldn't imply that it's what MAKES me one
I'd be happy to get rid of it honestly
