If you think the menstrual cycle is a flaw, that women should hide in shame, that tells me much about you and nothing about women.

Menstrual cycle isn't a flaw. It's a flow. 😂

It’s a flaw if it doesn’t suck 😂

Do people actually think this?

💯

Do they hate women?

Perhaps. Probably. A bit.

Or they have simply bought into the idea that women aren't qualified to do any task unless they can do it like a man would do it, so they demand that women are physically and emotionally even through the month.

Even pressuring women use chemical contraception without a break, so that their menstrual cycle completely disappears.

The logic goes

Men are good workers.

Women who want to work should be more like men.

So that those women can also be good workers.

Seems like an extremely outdated model of assessment.

Leftover from feminism.

The idea that "It's a man's world." so we all have to compete with men on their territory, by becoming more like men.

I recently learned women on hormonal birth control don't have menstrual cycles, but when they cycle to the placebo pill the blood that isreleased is actually a withsrawal symptom, not eggs being flushed out.

Are symptoms similar to real menstruation? Or does this withdrawal lead to more pain?

Feels the same.
