Ash Wednesday Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Well, it IS. If you're not having a baby that needs nutrients, it's completely POINTLESS except for making you bloated, crabby, crampy and just plain feeling yucky. So shut up with this "beauty of womenhood" garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HisChildForever Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I absolutely agree. I get so furious at men when I have my period. They have [b]no[/b] idea the amount of pain we have to experience every single month. (It's such a distinct pain, too.) They don't experience pregnancy (and those pains - like morning sickness) or giving birth. [spoiler] And I've often heard that a woman's "first time" can be painful, whereas it's not painful at all for men. [/spoiler] I also get irritated when men say "Oh but we have to watch you suffer, that's worse." That's very touching to say, but it doesn't even tip the scale.

Ash Wednesday Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 If my husband or any man ever tells me when I'm in labor that it's worse for them by watching us suffer, I would probably kick them in the face. I just want to gag when people try to sugar coat these kinds of things with insipid phrases like "the beauty of womanhood." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missionseeker Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I don't think it's sugar coating it to call it that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Wednesday Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) No, my ranting has nothing to do with what I presume to be yours or someone's blog entry -- I've never read that and at least you or whoever wrote it used the word "painful." I talk about the people that really try to blow birds and sunshine up someone's butt about the whole thing with no grain of reality at all.

CatherineM Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I saw something about the fact that women have way too many periods now than we are supposed to. We hit puberty earlier than a 100 years ago, and we have fewer babies and don't breast feed as long. If we didn't hit puberty until 16, married within a year or two of that, and had a kid every other year or so for the next 20 years, we'd have very few actual periods.

In all seriousness I had NOT read that before I posted this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
