Menstruation is a social construct

I've heard drugs like crack,LSD will fry the brain, that post is proof.

The trouble is there's a very big audience for these kinds of claims because many women don't want to have their periods.

Similarly those people who claim they can live off sunlight get loads of followers because so many people have a hatred of food.

Right time of year for Carrie larping.

Also it's hilarious that people don't realise that this "menstruation is unclean" nonsense is just a play by women to get a week off work (and sex) every month.

My thinking is that PMS is the brain's way of encouraging infidelity while there's still a possibility of fertility at the end of the cycle.

Borderline impossible. The menstrual cycle just doesn't work that way. Women are fertile for about five days of the month: the day they ovulate and about four days before because that's as long as sperm can survive in the uterus. Menstruation occurs 12-14 days after ovulation on average. The period between ovulation and menstruation the luteal phase. A luteal phase shorter than 10 days is rare and usually requires fertility treatment if the woman wants to get pregnant because it may not be enough time for the egg to implant itself in the uterine wall. By the time a woman starts to get PMS symptoms, unless she has a ridiculously short luteal phase, she's a good week plus away from her last fertile day.

Tl;dr Unless there's something really weird going on with her cycle, a woman will not be fertile anywhere close to the start of her period.

base and misinformed pilled

This has to be some kind of LGBTQ bull shit.

From what I've seen, "periods BAD and UNNATURAL, nothing wild has them, humans used to not have them, bad humans (white humans in this case) made them happen by DOING THE WRONG THING!!!11" is usually a vegan thing.

If this poster was serious, it might be that so many girls are started on birth control pills at a young age that this man or woman has little to no experience with it. Or is a trolling incel.

It's TumblrInAction, it's likely a post by a transwoman. That's why reddit wants to ban them, they're not aboard the TRA train.

It could maybe be Q+ bullshit if or when they find it, but this isn't anything having to do with LGB or even the alphabet soup. None of them claim the menstrual cycle is abnormal or unhealthy. They make up new words for it (as women who pretend they don't have one) or claim they get it (as men with bad gas).

This is ignorance of human biology in order to control, with a slice of racism thrown in.

Actually this is hotep bullshit. Different sort of bullshit altogether but no less anti-scientific and stupid.

[–]jet199 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (8 children)

People are missing out pro-ana.

Women who starve themselves don't get periods and think they are superior.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (7 children)

at least they're not fat

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

A lot of the time they are.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

I mean if they are starving and pro anorexic?

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They get fat when they're in recovery. If they didn't have a weight issue to begin with they wouldn't have adopted an eating disorder.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

All I meant was that you can be anorexic/bulimic and not super skinny, easily.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Alkies don't count, we get tons of calories even if it's from booze.

[–]usehernameredditgender 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

How can you be anorexic and fat? Bulimic, okay, but anorexic?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

then they failed at being anorexic lol

Just watch as the people who "follow the science" and pride themselves on their rationality go "nothing to see here, move along" and ignore this completely.

That sounds like some hotep shit, what lmfao
