Yep, absolutely, they are a menace! But do people not know that it is possible to safely almost eliminate menstruations? I take birth control pill, and use them nonstop (doctors recommendation) usually for 6 months. So I mentruate only two times a year. Also other forms of birth control, like hormonal IUD can have this effect. Of course there are people for who hormonal birth control is out of question.

… is this not taught in school everywhere? I got my first period when I was 11. I knew already what it was, how it works and that I would get it every month. I learned at school how to use tampons just a bit later in Biology (subject sex ed).

Umm, your fault for not preparing her better by telling her the facts a few years before (or anytime before) rather than telling her when she's 14!
Elizabeth Tayler 2 years ago
Didn't mean she didn't know about, was probably just her first time experiencing it! Understanding the basics of of something & experiencing it are completely different.

My mom explained everything to us but somehow I misunderstood the fact that periods were a monthly thing. When I had my first period at 10 or 11, I told her that at least it was done and I would not have to worry about it anymore. Her face when she realised I thought it was a one off thing...

At least nowadays they can start taking birth control pills, IUD, or the birth control implant that goes in the arm to help with cramps, excessive bleeding, or getting rid of the periods all together until she is ready to have children. They have since proven there is no danger (for most women) to skipping periods. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/birth-control/in-depth/womens-health/art-20044044

Today was that day for me and my 12yo. Tears, tears and more tears. (She knows what it’s all about, but here was reality). I didn’t tell her not to be silly. I didn’t tell her it was a gift. We hugged a lot and I commiserated while, I hope, reassuring her that she will cope.

I sincerely hope you mean when she is old enough to completely make and understand that decision and it's consequences. She may think now that no periods and sacrificing family life later sounds great but that's a child's way of thinking. They want instant gratification. Then she hits adulthood and realizes she didn't know what she wanted at such a young age and is miserable... not a good idea. Yes many people know early they do or do not want children but many change their minds or don't know yet. Not something to make a permanent decision on when your brain isn't even fully developed.

While writing this I'm nursing my 2nd child, which contributes to this blissful phase of not having to worry about menstruation. Not planning any more kids, I would be so happy if it just stayed that way but I know from my first birth (the time after resp.)that it will probably come back worse than ever before. I take tampons+pads with me everywhere I go although I may not need them for still some months. Just to be prepared for the blood bath.

The first rule of Girl Code is we stick by one another no matter what. Whether we’ve been friends since kindergarten or just met in the restroom, we’ve got each other’s back, especially in matters of safety and feminine hygiene. Life is way too complex for us to be at one another’s throats.

Whilst you’re scrolling through this list, I thought it would be interesting to delve a little bit into the notion of feminism—the belief in social, economic, and political equality of the sexes. As stated on Encyclopaedia Britannica, feminism is manifested worldwide and is represented by various institutions committed to activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests.
Although a lot of people nowadays tend to misunderstand its purpose, few look into the history that started it all. Throughout most of Western history, women were confined to the domestic sphere, while public life was reserved for men. Even as late as the early 20th century, women could neither vote nor hold elective office in Europe and in most of the United States.
Women were prevented from conducting business without a male representative. Married women could not exercise control over their own children without the permission of their husbands. Moreover, women had little or no access to education and were barred from most professions. In some parts of the world, such restrictions on women continue today.

Feminism is not a modern affair. In late 14th- and early 15th-century France, the first feminist philosopher, Christine de Pisan, challenged prevailing attitudes toward women with a bold call for female education. The defense of women had become a literary subgenre by the end of the 16th century, when Il merito delle donne (1600; The Worth of Women), a feminist broadside by another Venetian author, Moderata Fonte, was published posthumously.
As further explained on Encyclopaedia Britannica, defenders of the status quo painted women as superficial and inherently immoral, while the emerging feminists produced long lists of women of courage and accomplishment and proclaimed that women would be the intellectual equals of men if they were given equal access to education.

I would absolutely participate in this! Not sure if I count as "silly," but I've learned a lot from eccentric old women, and i would appreciate any pearls of wisdom they decide to impart on me.
Equality is the main word in the equation (although there are certain aspects that get misconstrued with this notion as well), with an emphasis on oppression. At the core of it all, Feminist theory argues that women should enjoy the same rights as men, including the right to speech, religion, bodily autonomy, and political expression.
Simply put, feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression. And although the misinterpretation of that poses men as the main enemy, that is simply not the case, as feminism embodies equality for all. Yet Joshua Evans posed an interesting question: “Can true equality be achieved if half the population cannot help, or does feminism lose its way if it becomes dominated by male voices?”

Studies show that in more gender-equal societies, men are half as likely to be depressed, less likely to commit suicide, have around a 40% smaller risk of dying a violent death, and even suffer less from chronic back pain. In an equal society, social issues such as sexual assault and domestic violence against men may be treated more seriously.
Feminism has also allowed men to have longer maternity leave and be full-time parents, combatting ‘breadwinner’ stereotypes. These are a few examples of what feminism can and continues to do for men. And it’s up to men to support it in whatever way they can.
There is still a long way to go when it comes to the realization of feminist ideals, but I’m sure that sooner rather than later we’ll develop as a society to embrace one another, respect one another, and be there for one another. In the meantime, here are some universal rules of Girl Code.
If a girl needs a tampon and you have a tampon—help her out. If you notice a girl is too intoxicated to even see straight, get her some water and assist as necessary to keep her safe. If you see someone harassing or unwantedly touching a girl, help her out. If a girl is crying, make sure everything is alright. Finally, passing judgment on others does nobody justice, we girls need to stick together.

When reading this post it occurred to me, that women often complain of their clothes having no or much too small pockets. This could be a conspiracy to keep women down, because they will then need to carry handbags to carry what they need and be at a disadvantage, with just one free hand (I use a bag with a long strap, so I carry it on my left side and on my right shoulder because I like to have my hands free).

The basic components of a typical coffee maker include a water reservoir, a coffee filter or pod holder, a heating element, and a carafe or coffee pot. To brew coffee, water is poured into the reservoir, and coffee grounds are placed in the filter or pod holder. When activated, the coffee maker heats the water, and it drips or is forced through the coffee grounds, extracting the flavors and aromas from the beans. The brewed coffee then flows into the carafe or coffee pot below, ready for consumption. https://dripcaffeine.com/
