Why do we take it for granted that women’s bodily processes just normally hurt? Is that what we would assume about men if every time they came, their balls ached unbearably for 3 or so days? If men had the prob, there’d be millions of dollars thrown at it, pain pills flying through the air, and nurses hired round the clock for their care. No stone would be left unturned in the search for the cause of this boner-decimating debilitation!
But with women, everyone just says “oh pain during periods and birth are normal (and fibromyalgia isn’t real!) therefore that’s just the way women are- with women pain doesn’t mean ‘something is wrong’ like it does with real people. It means ‘everything is fine!’ “
Pain isn’t just something women should take on the chin. Pain for us means the same thing as it means for a male, that SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE.
So why do women hurt?
1. Patriarchy means patrilinealism, which means that males have the upperhand in picking mates. Males select for things in women that make subsequent generations more childlike instead of woman-like. This starts to become a problem for obvious reasons. We’re going on about 6,000 years of it, too.
2. Pollution by men’s industrial factories, radiation from men’s nuclear plants, EMF (coming off smart meters and those fuckign BP wind turbines that do almost nothing), poisoning with synthetic hormones like the pill and fertility drugs, GMOs and processed shit food that can’t hardly be gotten away from.
3. The psychological effect of being told by oppressors that a certain part of your body is a smelly dirty secret is that your brain will slowly stop giving that area quite so much maintenance/attention. When you feel like your menstrual muscles are atrophied, that’s because they are. :( Thought is powerful.
So there are the reasons that natural body processes of women hurt. Pain should never be considered a part of life. Being in pain is not a good evolutionary strategy. Of course, this will be a reason for evo psyche to say that women’s pain indicates that she needs male help at that time of month. Ah-ah-ah, now! Men’s choices in the patriarchy *created* women’s pain.
This is it
It’s a new feminist copypasta.
We have hit maximum stupidity.
My period hurts because I get cramps.
its really not that deep
at all
“

“
You mean women aren’t allowed to take medicine to help with their cramps? I guess the police ought to arrest me and take away my ibuprofen, then. Apparently I’ve been breaking that law all these years.
Oh, hey, an article talking about period pains, I bet I could show this to @thedenofravenpuff for well meaning/teasing advice since she’s been on that topic.
**reads the post**
Ahahahahahaha! Do you live underneath a Man’s Windmill, Puffy? That could be your problem.
This… I don’t even know if they are serious or just seriously trolling…
Whut?
When did patriarchy become a factor for naturally biological processes?
It became part of it the moment some one decided “I’m in pain, and I hate men… I’m going to blame men, and undercut EVERYTHING women have ever achieved, their very intelligence, just to build this strawman made out of bloody tampons and pads, and then call it art and anyone that disagrees is part of the matriarchy or has internalized misogyny.”
I’m an advertiser for speaking openly about women’s period, because I grew tired of the shame that came with having a perfectly natural biological function.
But that doesn’t mean it’s an excuse to put down men and only care about how women feel. Or even blame them y-chromosome carriers just ‘cuz.
It means to educate and bring down walls so everyone can be here and not get pushed out or shamed for something out of their control. And that includes men. So read that post and get educated. Ignore the top post as that… I’m still not sure is insane or just trolling.
Thank you.
Like that time some dumbass tried to say that men cause menstrual pain because menstrual has the word “men” in it?
anytime i see four things arranged in a square now i just kind of reflexively squint at it and try to work out whether or not it’s loss.jpg
so you do this?
god
damnit

Anonymous asked: Here's my thing. I know it's selfish but if you tag like everything nsfw I don't have to have more than one account and can follow/like your stuff without having to worry about scrolling through my dash when people are behind me. If you don't want to I understand because it would be annoying.
I don’t know what you want me to do exactly? Like go back and tag all my posts with ‘nsfw’ so you can scroll through your dash with the account you use not for porn? (im guessing that’s how you have it set up??)
I mean I guess I can tag the rest of the stuff I post with nsfw but It’s not on me to tag a whole nsfw blog with that, when it’s blatantly stated that this blog is going to be, for the most part, full of nsfw-things (i mean it’s in the url man)
Literally everything about Batman is so much better when you think about all the little behind the scenes things that must have happened to make Bruce such a goddamn dad
Like yeah he’s really bad with change and his communication abilities are really lacking due to being extremely heavily isolated and traumatized for the majority of his formative years, but like
I am at least 99% convinced that all the bat-named things like the batmobile, batcomputer, batfridge, etc., were originally normal phrases like ‘the car,’ ‘the computer,’ etc., but then Robin showed up he started calling them bat-things because he was nine, and Batman went along with it.
It’s too late to turn back now. Too late to make excuses to anyone. He’s committed. Nightwing doesn’t say anything. The other Robins have no idea. No one has any idea.
Everyone thinks Batman is legitimately obsessed with bats.
No, he just wanted his cave to be child-friendly, and when it turned out Robin #1 really liked the bat idea and thought it was cool enough that it should be incorporated into everything, Batman fucking incorporated it into everything. He just wanted to make the kid happy, damnit
