Hi, I'm a girl. And I'd say "no thanks" to that situation if my girl wanted me to do that. It's all fun and games until you get a bigass clot in your mouth.
If I have to pick up products for my wife, so be it. If I need to know that one of my daughters is contending with that in order to explain why we need to stop at a store I wasn't planning to go to or to consider that for planning something (maybe she doesn't feel like hiking when she has cramps) that's fine. I just don't need to hear about everyone else's menstruation cycle. Same as defecation...I know all my friends and coworkers must do it, I just don't need to know about it or any of the details. Doctor removed a sebaceous cyst from your groin? No details please.

It's almost like everyone is one their period.
(JOKE)
It's not so much the blood they're talking about as how some guys freak out at the sheer mention of it to the point they won't even buy pads for someone
well i mean bleeding from between your legs isn’t exactly good for anyone.
i’m sure most women would like it if they did not have periods, and as a male I would agree as it just seems like girls are in pain. sure it’s natural but that doesn’t mean that it’s something that isn’t gross.
I think she's talking more about how if guys see anything about periods they freak out ? Like if girls hand eachother a pad or something they're all like " ewwww " or if girls are just talking about it casually they freak out like you're talking about surgery in detail ( before someone says " not all guys " this is mainly about those guys in middle/highshool that do )
it’s not that the sheer mention of periods is gross to me, but it’s like, the idea that it happens and you can’t do anything about it and you’re in pain for days at a time, turns me off a little bit.
I like how no one even touched the fact that i said “just because it’s normal doesn’t mean it is not gross.”
You cannot, unironically and without a doubt in your mind, convince me that bleeding from your uterus for a whole week is something that is not at lesst a little bit gross or off-putting.
It’s normal. Okay.
Is it fun? Is it good for you? Do you enjoy it?
I know for a fact that I wouldn’t, so i don’t understand why i’m being criticized for not liking it. Whatever happened to live and let live? How am i physically hurting you by not liking it when you bleed?

So blood coming out of your baby tube isn't gross? That's news to me
Dude. It's a completely natural body function just like farting, pooping, and peeing. The later three are all joked about constantly, but for some reason, periods are still stigmatized.
In fact the women:men ratio is closer to 51:49. Men are a bit less than half of the population. So what you're saying is that the majority should submit to the minority because the minority is somehow offended by vaginal functions? I'm sorry but to me this seems no different than the SJWs saying what we should and shouldn't joke about because it may offend someone. Free speech is free speech, and at least on the internet there are loads of jokes about morning wood/sweaty balls in the summer/awkward erections and other penis related stuff all the time. Why are vaginas so stigmatized while penises aren't? It's even a thing in video games, for example Jim Sterling made a video about it, and even he, a dude, was like "Why the fuck are people so afraid of vaginas while penises are okay?" http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=meM4yvlhDPA
Yes but it’s not like it’s a thing that people generally mention in casual conversation. It’s a stigma because talking about private parts in public can be considered rude. You wouldn’t hear two guys debating the sizes of their dicks while waiting for your connecting flight any more than you would hear girls talking in public about their menstrual cycles.
Well, if we aren't talking loud, then whatever we talk about in public really isn't your business, and if you're grossed out by a conversation that doesn't involve you in any way, then you need to fix yourself. And it does come up in a casual conversation with some of my friends, thats not unnatural
Ex:
Me: hey, wassup
Friend: nothing much, just started my period tho, and I have cramps
M: damn take some medicine or something

It's not that weird to talk about periods casually
Talking about it doesn't bother me at all... I'm just not a fan of going down on a girl or having sex while she's on it. I mean... if it means that much too her, fine, but I don't enjoy it the same way at all.

That's alright (I wouldn't either, that's nasty), this is about some of the fuckbois who get disgusted at the slightest mention of periods
You seem slightly offended at the fact that I don’t like people bleeding for a week every month.
It’s not “disgusting”, just a little...weird? Sure, it’s normal and can’t really be controlled, but as boys, we have nothing to compare to, and thus we just see it as weird. Like, if boys leaked blood out of their dicks for a week every month, then it would be normal, like a period.
But we don’t, so we just see it as being a little bit off-putting. Honestly, @german_satan, I’ve never seen this side of you before, and i don’t really like it. You’re coming off as a little bit arrogant and closeminded; instead of at least considering the fact that other people find blood dripping out of their bodies a little bit off-putting, you criticize them and act as if they’re weird for not always being totally 100% on top of that kind of stuff.
@rosebud I'm just gonna throw this out here... I've absolutely heard 2 guys debating about the size of their dicks in situations way more public than an airport. Just sayin.
@funkmasterrex
ok. my point still stands. i find it inappropriate and lewd to have discussions like that and about periods in public. that’s my opinion. i promise you, it’s not difficult to understand that.
Dude, middle school boys draw dicks on EVERYTHING. So your previous argument of "well it doesn't happen with boys" doesn't fully fit here. Just for the record, we're talking middle/high school boys here, because obviously no sane grown man would squeal at a period.
And yes, if someone talks about their period in detail, it might get a bit weird/gross. However, 99% of situations are about pads, tampons and other hygienic stuff. It doesn't make sense to me that someone would get legitimately grossed out by that, it's like getting grossed out by talking about band-aids or skincare products.

It happens, just because you are weirded out by it, doesn't mean it should become a taboo to talk about. No one is asking you to fuck your girl on her period, but if you are just weirded out by the sheer mention of it, then that's what we are talking about. It's just blood, and we shouldn't have to stop talking about things because of who you feel towards it. And as I've said last time, if they aren't talking to loud, it isn't your business what they are talking about, so if you manage to overhear someone else's conversation, that has nothing to do about you, thats your own fault
Right then, i can see that everyone just wants to ignore my point and continue saying the same things over and over again, so i’ll just get outta here and leave you folks to your echo chamber.
Echochamber? You're the one saying "period stuff shouldn't be even mentioned in conversation", you're the one who would be happier in an echochamber where only certain things can be said and free speech is limited. Everyone else here is just stating their opinions and actually encouraging conversation. Literally nobody said "leave if you disagree with us", we've all just stated that we disagree with you. If being disagreed with offends you to the point you have to leave because you're unable to defend your opinion, well, then you might find it difficult to stomach free speech.
(1/2)
I know what an echochamber looks like. About a year ago I joined the social network by the name of Minds. It's based on the idea of absolute free speech. At first I loved it because absolute free speech, and I still cherish that idea, however the problem is that this idea later attracted mainly far right wing nuts who were blocked from mainstream social networks like Facebook or Twitter. One of the most popular posts, and I'm not exaggerating right now, is a post saying that ALL Jews are evil and have some evil agenda. The "evidence"? One Facebook post by one asshole Jew who said Jews are better than Goyim. Naturally I asked for evidence of this so-called Jew agenda. Was I given any? No. Was I called a "filthy Jew" (I'm a European atheist with no Jewish ancestry), "too dumb to understand", and in other similarly crazy posts a "shill", a "democrats' whore" and so on? Yes. THAT is what an echochamber looks like. Not this. (2/2)
