I’ve said this before and I’ll point it out again -
Menstruation is caused by change in hormonal levels to stop the creation of a uterine lining and encourage the body to flush the lining out. The body does this by lowering estrogen levels and raising testosterone.
Or, to put it more plainly “That time of the month” is when female hormones most closely resemble male hormones. So if (cis) women aren’t suited to office at “That time of the month” then (cis) men are NEVER suited to office.
If you are a dude and don’t dig the ladies around you at their time of the month, just think! That is you all of the time.
And, on a final note, post-menopausal (cis) women are the most hormonally stable of all human demographics. They have fewer hormonal fluctuations of anyone, meaning older women like Hilary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren would theoretically be among the least likely candidates to make an irrational decision due to hormonal fluctuations, and if we were basing our leadership decisions on hormone levels, then only women over fifty should ever be allowed to hold office.
Reblogging hard for that last comment.
I WANTED TO SAY THIS BUT THEN SOMEONE ELSE DID and I’m damn proud.
I’m not gonna go “Ew, het!” just because a male character and a female character become an item. Some of my biggest OTPs are M/F ships. Did you not see me raving about Southside With You? Do you not see me tag Morticia/Gomez or David Bowie/Iman with “relationship goals”? Elisa/Goliath was one of my first OTPs, mkay?
So it’s not M/F that irritates me.
What irritates me is an awesome woman attaching herself to some (usually white) ain’t-shit fuckboy who only drags her down.
What irritates me is “breathing the same air” is the basis for their relationship.
What irritates me is when a (usually white) female character has much better chemistry with other female characters, or even with–gasp!–a man of color (and don’t let him be BLACK!!!), but she’s head over heels for some conventionally attractive white dude.
What irritates me is that 99.9999% of the time, a (white) male character chooses a (white) female character as “The One” before she has feelings for him.
What irritates me is that the vast majority of women in M/F ships conform to Eurocentric beauty standards that amplify the association of whiteness with beauty and worthiness.
What irritates me is that the vast majority of M/F ships are about his gaze and his wants and his needs and not hers.
THIS THIS THIS
I like to call this the Sk8er Boi phenomenon. A complete lack of history, love, chemistry, anything that’s required for a healthy, believable relationship.
Just “he’s a boy, she’s a girl” and that’s supposed to be enough for the audience. “Love at first sight” is such flimsy, shallow bullshit.
It’s really no wonder more people attach themselves to the same-sex friendships in series.

So I found a site that does a subscription box for your period- it sends you basics like hygiene products, pain medication as well as snacks and pampering stuff to make you feel good,
but the best thing is they have a specialty boxes, like vegan or kosher only snacks but also
they specifically offer boxes for menstruating guys and nb folks.
which is pretty darn cool.
it’s called bonjourjolieand I think it’s 1000% awesome tbh
For the record, yaoi is designed to fetishize mlm for straight girls. It’s really important to understand that yaoi isn’t even close to realistic in like, anyway.
referring to platonic female friends as their “girlfriends”
saying the words “dyke” or “lesbo”
“marrying” their female friends on facebook as a joke
assuming every lesbian/bi/pan girl is attracted to her

telling trans men that they “make them question their sexuality”
7. Hitting on trans women and saying it’s straight cause “you have a cock and I like those.”
8. Purposely trying to expose and talk about their bodies in front of queer girls in a ‘you can’t have this’ way
9. Assuming something has definitely happened between their female queer friends
10. Saying they’re accepting then pulling a face at anything ‘lesbian-ish’ mentioned or done in front of them
11: Treat their LGBTA+ friends and aquaintances aß assecoires. “This is Brad, my gay.” We’re not your pets.
12: Say: “Oh, you wouldn’t understand, it’s about a guy”/“It’s a straight thing”. Like what, you think we lack basic empathy?
12. Talking about being “a gay guy trapped in a straight girl’s body”
13. Hypersexualizing achillean relationships, calling two men sharing affection “sinful”
14. Treating and referring to their trans guy friends as females
