I was about to go to the bathroom, so I pulled a tampon out of my purse. My male coworker looked at it and said, “Wait… you use tampons?” I said, “Yeah, why?” He immediately made a face and said, “Those are so gross. I don’t get how women can put those inside themselves.” I asked, “What’s so gross about them?” He said, “They go inside you and come out covered in blood.” I said, “So is it the blood that’s gross, or the fact that they go in a vagina?” He paused and admitted it was because they go in a vagina. I looked at him and said, “You know what else goes in a vagina? A penis.” He just stared at me. I shrugged and said, “Exactly. And boys never seem to stop talking about those.”Funny how a vagina only becomes “gross” when it’s associated with women’s health.
Two thirds of Alzheimer’s patients are women. Not because women live longer, but because estrogen protects the brain. When it’s suddenly stripped away, the brain literally shrinks. Brain fog in your 40s isn’t “just stress.” It’s a red flag. But instead of addressing hormones, women are gaslight with antidepressants or told to meditate. Fast forward 20 years and she’s in a nursing home and can’t remember her own kids. This isn’t “normal aging.” It’s medical negligence. And despite most Alzheimer’s patients being women, much of the research is still done on male mice instead of female mice. That’s not science, that’s neglect.”
the female body for some reason has tons of mechanisms to gain weight unrelated to consumption, the male body on the other hand has virtually none, meaning if you're fat as a man its entirely your own fault you hungry hungry hippo
I find it endlessly amusing when men expect a level of domestic labour from me that I don't even do for myself. If I haven't built my own life around cooking every single day, what exactly makes you think you'll be the exception?
Give people a chance, many people can be trained and do well at work. I studied BA communications science degree but someone gave me a chance to work in Finance because they saw potential, the rest was up to me to prove my capabilities, i know what that chance did for me. There are many vacancies that are doable with just training.
repeat after me:
dear universe, i'm not asking for small favors this time. i am asking for the unthinkable to finally line up. may this month rearrange what i thought was impossible, turn endings into new beginnings, and remind me that miracles exist for people like me.
Luvo Manyonga 🇿🇦 jumped a mark 8.35m (+2.6) to win the men's Long Jump at Grand Slam Jerusalem, his best (all-conditions) mark since returning to competitive action.

Gabriel Bitan 🇷🇴 finished 2nd with a best leap of 7.91m.
