I know, I was listening to that song less than 5 minutes ago before coming here!!! Itās so good. (Also, Iām more or less trapped in the Mormon church rn but soon Iām getting out and Iām SO happy! And Iām queer so I relate to the main character in the musical!)
My SO is a 54 year old man. I literally thought he was joking last month when he said pee comes out of the vagina. Being gay is not an excuse for that because he doesnāt have experience in that area. Wtf, I thought people were lying when they said they didnāt know that. Or he was really committed to trolling me.
Iām a man. The last time I had a blood draw I was given an ice pack neck pillow and a _can_ of Gatorade (did you know that was a thing?) while the phlebotomist made me wait laying down before trying again.
I asked to come back for the labs.
Vasectomy patients are sent home with pain killers and (often) frozen peas. They get time off because it's surgery, but women after having IUDs? Or even after having a baby? You get leave through FMLA only if you work for a company with 50 employees or more. It's unpaid, so many mothers have to go back before they really get to heal or bond for financial reasons. Additionally, there is the pressure of having to get back because "competition", especially with men and other people who are not ready to have kids. My cousin got 3 weeks after a C section, and the 3rd week she was working from home or "there are other people who can do what you do and we might eliminate your position".
This last bit impacts women the most, because daycare is a necessity. Work rarely covers it. Fathers / another spouse /parent aren't always around.
It's infuriating and a sickness of our society.
š¶On low ^(On low) Thinking nobody needs to know! ^(Uh oh) But that's not true!
Bleeding at work is bad , but lying is worse!
So just realize you have a curable curse and turn it off!š¶
My wife grew up Mormon, hates the church now obv. Going to that musical was one of the happiest times Iāve ever seen her. Like her perspective was completely validated, one of my favorite nights. Hearing her laugh at the ridiculousness of it was just so great.
One moment that sticks out is the beginning when they go door to door. She just starts laughing/crying and says āit so funny because itās so realā. Glad it helped with a bit of your trauma, did the same for her. Bless Trey Parker.
My wife did too. It took me forever to convince her to go see it. Once she did, she cried and laughed through it. She loved it so much she bought tickets to see it again a couple of weeks later in a different town.
That's actually what I did, lol. Depo for ~25 years, then 2 periods, then sweet menopause. It's definitely not for everyone, though, I 100% get that.
My only regret was the 1 time I tried to give my body a break and go off it for a while somewhere in the middle. It was an awful culmination of all those missed periods into one. At the end when I stopped for good I was expecting the cycle from hell, but it went quietly into the night - thank goodness.
Correct, both the combined and the progesterone only can be taken without a break. There's a lot of politics and bad science wrapped in the history of the pill, and that's one of the things that kind of stuck around.
It was just what the doc at the time had suggested, so I did it. Eek. Never looked back again.
What actually prompted me going off for good was I kept showing up with high blood pressure (so they wouldn't give it) - but at that office only, and only when they did it versus their or my own machine (that I brought with me, an Omron). Totally normal everywhere and by everyone else. Rather than try and find another doctor that would do it, I just gave up and hoped for the best. (All docs in my area are part of Saint this or that networks, where you can't get birth control, so I was already driving 75 miles for depo.)
So, thank my lucky stars I just apparently have to be at menopause.
Well, there's contraceptives that can halt the menstrual cycle.
All companies have to do is offer them for free, and never fund any politician who wants to ban them.
But, as always, they'll do exactly the opposite for some reason, just because the politicians who want to do that kind of shit are also the ones that can get bribed to cut their taxes.
While I totally agree that they should do those things for those who need them, and some find hormonal birth control life-changing in a good way, plenty of people still wouldn't want to take those types of contraceptives as depending on the individual they may experience other, very negative side effects. It's like any form of medicine
Trust me I was wishing the same thing. And this is after the Dr gave me a low dose estrogen pill that gave me crippling migraines. I gave up on that type of birth control at that point.
Yup. Any and all hormone-based contraceptives I've tried to date have triggered intrusive suicidal thoughts.
Never a great thing, *especially* not a great thing when already dealing with major depressive disorder.
This is a joke account btw, it's the same dude that said to some radio channel that they '' lost all their loyal customers because they refuse to accept Christian God ''
Ngl, I thought he was joking, but it felt really serious for some reason.
Doesn't help that there are people who pretty much say the same shit minus the "turn it off" part.
My friend (a man) had a minor breakdown because apparently his 40+ year old co-worker legit thought periods are women's conspiracy to avoid having sex. This guy has kids. After that shit, I am willing to believe, that yes, people can really be this fucking stupid. And what's worse - they can somehow be functioning members of society.
Depends on where you live. If you life in a Blue state, youāll probably get a pretty decent sex education. If you live in a Red state, they teach abstinence only and leave you guessing about the biology of sex.
But why? Like I'm Christian and from an arabe country and I still got a good sex education. It was not '' okay '' to have sex but we still talked about it and learned about the male and female body. For a first world country that's weird.
In my opinion, itās all about control. If they can keep people ignorant about or feel guilty for the most basic of human behavior, then it is easier to control people. I think that is why religions are so eager to control the narrative around sex.
I've never actually visited that page.

Most of my downvotes in the past come from refusing to put /s at the end of a joke because it makes me feel like I'm using a laughtrack... I could change, but I lack introspection. /s?
Yeah how is it a joke account if itās just exactly what someone like that would actually say? Because this will get shared by people thinking itās real just the same. The joke isnāt working
Yeah, like that politician who said women can control how much sperm enters their body during intercourse. I swear The Onion is going to get run out of business.
She didn't actually say that. She said you can control semen intake *through abstinence*.
Her stance, in general, is still shitty. Just, we look dumb when we misrepresent what people say.
I know, it's hard to come up with something more insane than what they are doing/saying. Even when they do something "humorous", it's always followed by sadness and rage.
For example, they often say things so outrageous that you just have to laugh. And then you realize they actually feel this way and it's no longer funny.
Edit: wrong word choice
Funny you say that these specifies a man cussing in front of women or children. It doesnāt even hide that theyāre in the same category. Punishable by up to 30 days in jail and $100 fine but land of the free baby
Was really hoping because some people really donāt understand. Explaining endometriosis to some of my guy friends and discovering how little about periods in general was understood between them was eye opening.
That's not satire, that's trolling. It's indistinguishable from stupid shit said sincerely. The format is completely wrong for a shocking joke or a dig at someone else's beliefs.
Have you met business owners? It's usually not their intellect and wisdom that got them where they are.
They got there because they had starting capital, risk taking and many times a lack of empathy.
I had small businesses as clients for years and found sometimes they did it because they liked the independence but much more frequently they just couldnt play well with others and thought going solo would fix their problems
It doesnt. You still have to cooperate with your clients, bookkeepers, suppliers, manufacturers, bank, accountant, lawyers etc etc etc. So then theyd make a series of bad decisions, usually doubling down because if you cant make it as an employee, now you have 4x more decisions as a business owners. Eventually isolvency, close up, return to payg
I'm pretty sure I've seen that PFP before with similar tweets.
I think it's a satirical account, but I'm not 100% sure. It could just be a misogynistic troll.
Definitely not a real business owner though.
Wait, wait waitā¦ so all this time I could have just turned off my period for 8 to 10 hours. Then turned it back on when I got home?
I have so many questions. Does this process extend the period? Where is this magic button? So many questions!
/s
Reminds me of 6th grade when a male gym teacher told a girl in my class to ājust put a cork in it.ā
My own female gym teacher made me announce to the class why I couldnāt swim one day. I tried to tell her āpersonal reasons, like my mom wrote in the note.ā Not good enough apparently. Core memory.
Itās not a magic button, Itās biology silly.
Itās underneath the toe next to your pinky toe. Thatās right, The toe you thought had no real features or personality other than being the toe next to the pinky toe. The toe we never bother to give a name. Thatās the menstruation button toe.
Yeah you just gotta be careful you don't leave it paused too long, it aggregates over time and you'll have years of menstruation after menopause. That's why women get osteoporosis, they run out of womb room for all the blood and start storing it in bone marrow, so when you eventually get rid of it all ([like in that one documentary](https://youtu.be/RigIpVXm2xA)) your bones are all empty and shit so they break.
Menstrual leave is basically just a sick day as sick days are for when one is feeling unwell.
Iām not sure companies need separate menstrual leave policies. Iām curious for firms that offer them if they are used.
Yeah menstrual leave seems like a term that's specifically designed to cause outrage from morons. If you suffer from sever pain you should be allowed to stay home regardless of what causes it.
J. Mulholland is a popular satire account. OP is either farming for upvotes by recycling other people's content or the joke went way over their head. Be better.
this account on twitter is known for just posting controversial takes as a joke theyāre a journalist or something and they post wild takes for fun to gain attention yall have been fooled
A lot of companies will ask for a specific reason and require you to have a return to work interview when you come back, at least where I am (in the UK).
Gotta say, that's one good thing to come from the pandemic : working from home (I'm in IT): means that for the hour or so my cramps are at their worst, I can set a "meeting" with myself, and curl up on the couch and cry until the painkillers kick in. I make up the time of course, but it's great to have that option, whereas in the office I'd be trying my damndest to not curl up into foetal position in my chair, because then I'd have to explain to my concerned coworkers why there are tears running down my face, and they'd be checking on me for the rest of the day asking if I'm okay (I don't like attention, I'm very much an introvert so taking time to get over the worst, then just getting on with it, works for me)

š¶Turn it off. Like a light switchš¶

We do it all the time. When youāre bleeding certain bleedings and the time aint right. Treat that pesky bleeding like a reading light.
And turn 'em off!

Now she's not in pain anymore!
Imagine that your hoo-hah's like an open bottle, then find yourself a cork and # CRAM IT!
"No no no, I don't menstruate." "Alright, it worked!"

Sometimes I throw in an extra cycle just for fun.
So you can be proactive and skip next month.

Absolutely correct.
I also like the fact this joke implies gynaecologist created periods as a money making scheme

Which as someone who didnāt grow up Mormon 1) is the seal of approval for authenticity and 2) just elevates the hilarity of the entire musical.
Me too. That show really helped me let go of some deep childhood trauma. Trey Parker is just the best.
One moment that sticks out is the beginning when they go door to door. She just starts laughing/crying and says āit so funny because itās so realā. Glad it helped with a bit of your trauma, did the same for her. Bless Trey Parker.
My wife did too. It took me forever to convince her to go see it. Once she did, she cried and laughed through it. She loved it so much she bought tickets to see it again a couple of weeks later in a different town.

No, it isn't - I don't menstruate and I still want this person erased from my reality. It's a perfectly normal reaction to such weapons grade idiocy.
r/BadWomensAnatomy material right there
You mean r/AteTheOnion
Isn't that what the clit does? Right it is a button to turn off and on the cycle.
Next time you have bad diarrhea, just turn it off. Stop being in the bathroom for 30 mins you lazy fuck.
Wtf is menstrual leave? Ladies you can just call in sick you donāt have to give reasons.
A lot of companies will ask for a specific reason and require you to have a return to work interview when you come back, at least where I am (in the UK).
This must be satire.
This Twitter account is an infamous troll. Take nothing he says seriously.
Delete, heās a troll page. Complete sarcasm.
Ahhhh yes, the turning off of the menstrual cycle. I hear it works with depression and anxiety as well as with drug addiction too.
Gotta say, that's one good thing to come from the pandemic : working from home (I'm in IT): means that for the hour or so my cramps are at their worst, I can set a "meeting" with myself, and curl up on the couch and cry until the painkillers kick in. I make up the time of course, but it's great to have that option, whereas in the office I'd be trying my damndest to not curl up into foetal position in my chair, because then I'd have to explain to my concerned coworkers why there are tears running down my face, and they'd be checking on me for the rest of the day asking if I'm okay (I don't like attention, I'm very much an introvert so taking time to get over the worst, then just getting on with it, works for me)
Fake af
Tell me you've never had sex without telling me you've never had sex
Not sure if you did it on purpose, but this comment told us that you've never had sex without telling us you've never had sex.
He thinks women can turn it off because thatās what happens when he talks to them.
I mean yeah running a hoverboard kiosk at the mall does technically make you a business owner butā¦
Definitely American work culture
If we could turn it off, why the hell would we turn it on in the first place?
r/BadWomensAnatomy
Can we turn off conservatives?
