pro tip: before getting serious w a man, just casually mention ur period. like, just say ‘my cramps are bad rn’ or ‘I have to go buy some pads’. his reaction is very telling of how mature and understanding he is. you don’t wanna be dating a grown ass man who gets grossed out by the word menstruation. u deserve someone who is comfortable w u and I do mean all of u. you’ll be thanking urself for doing it now and not later hun!
THIS IS REALLY INDICATIVE OF HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS. TRUST ME.
True story. Once, I dated a guy once that wouldn’t let me pay for my own pads him he has with me. He wouldn’t go out and buy them himself if I needed them though. I had to stand next to him, which defeated the whole reason for him going to buy me any. Was uncomfortable with period talk and letting me pay for things myself.
Once, I also dated a guy that wouldn’t even stand in the pads alley with him. It grossed him out. Everything about my period grossed him out and he didn’t want to touch me. Just left me alone and didn’t want to deal with any of it. Wouldn’t even stand next to me when I bought pads.
Now, the guy I’m with and going to marry, he is a whole different story. I was dying of cramps and got my period while finishing up a class. (My campus can get very bad to the point where I’m shaking in pain or unable to move) Mistakenly didn’t bring pads and texted I needed him to do me the biggest favor. Not only did he buy me pads (something he does from time to time when I need them) but he marched through campus with them not bothering to hide it and brought me Advil.
Last week, I was dying in pain and lost my hot pack when I went to visit my mother. I asked him to buy me a new one and he forgot. So, I’m in massive pain near tears and it’s past ten at night wishing I hadn’t been so stupid as to lose it. He gets dressed and goes out to get me a hot pack even when I tell him over and over that I can wait until morning and I don’t want him to go not because he needs to go to bed.
He flat out says “I love you. You asked me to get you a hot pack and I forgot. Now, you are in a lot of pain and I can’t stand to see that. So, I’m getting you the hot pack and I’ll be back soon.” Comes back with the hot pack, ice cream and a candy bar.
Not saying all men need to be this level of nice. But I am saying that bring up your period in a casual manner is a great way to see how people will treat you when you are sick, not feeling well, or just basically how they handled things.
ACTUALLY THEY DO NEED TO BE THAT LEVEL OF NICE THOUGH
You are absolutely correct, and I was a fool not to realize it sooner.
Roy Moore Spokesman Ted Crockett: Muslims can’t serve because you have to swear in on a Bible. Jake Tapper: There’s no law that says you have to swear in on a Bible. Crockett: *shitshitshitshitshitTHINKMANTHINK* Tapper: You do know that right? Crockett: *justfinishstrongmanyoucandothis* WELL DONALD TRUMP
I saw this live. I was stunned
Is that true !?! You can swear on the quran for the inauguration to become the president of the United States ?! Guess I have some homework
Yes, because America is not a Christian nation. It was never supposed to have a state religion. As long as you’re a United States citizen and you meet the age and service requirements for President of the United States, you have every right to run.
UPDATE on HOMEWORK:
This what I found( cut and pasted ):
“Theodore Roosevelt did not use a Bible when taking the oath in 1901. Both John Quincy Adams and Franklin Pierce swore on a book of law, with the intention that they were swearingon the constitution. Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in on a Roman Catholic missal on Air Force One”
I had no idea, I like the swearing on the book of law. Like @thunder-the-great said, we aren’t supposed to have a state religion.
The Constitution specifically forbids any religious test to hold office. You can swear on anything or nothing at all. You don’t even have to swear, the Constitution specifically says you can affirm.
Lan Diep of the San Jose city council swore on Captain America’s shield. You can literally swear on anything or nothing.
The real writer experience is standing in the shower and coming up with the most authentic dialogue with perfect phrasing and raw emotion in your head, then stepping out and drying your hair, putting on some clean pajamas and opening a word document to write down all your perfect ideas only to realize everything has evaporated.
