je suis vraiment le cliché de la meuf désagréable qd elle est indisposée pcq je vois pas pourquoi on devrait faire semblant d'aller bien et de sourire alors que t'as l'impression qu'on t'arrache l'utérus à mains nues mdr
My dad used to call periods “gross.” Said men shouldn’t hear about “women’s stuff.”
Last week, my 12-year-old brother asked me what periods were like.
One of his friends had gotten hers at school, and he didn’t want to embarrass her.
So I explained it.
Cramps. Mood swings. Pain. Chocolate helps.
From the kitchen, my dad shouted:
“Stop talking about that disgusting crap. Boys don’t need to know about it.”
Before I could respond, my little brother looked him dead in the eye and said:
“That’s why mom divorced you.”
The whole house went silent.
My dad froze for a second… then walked away without saying a word.
My brother turned back to me like nothing happened and asked:
“So… what kind of chocolate should I buy her?”
People comparing this to making an episode about “a boy getting his first erection” is literally proving why an episode like this needs to exist. Periods are stigmatized as sexual when they are not and should be normalized as a natural part of growing up, Kids NEED this.
