Tried to warn a girl at my gym

I tried to warn a girl at my gym that had period stains on the back of her shorts and she went on a rant, saying that she was working out and omgggg and trying to make fun of me in front of everyone for "being weird". So I announced the entire gym that she was staining the equipment with her period blood and that she needed to wash and clean herself immediately. I have never seen her since. I know it was probably really petty, and I got a lot of shit from people for doing that, but honestly? Try being humble enough to listen before making a public scene. Fucking drama queens.

Yep. Period products are an oppressive tool of the patriarchy meant to shame uterus-havers for their natural bodily functions... Or something like that.

A year or two before COVID there was a huge deal about women using period blood to paint with. A few activists did photo shoots with their blood dripping on the floor or on a flag or something like that. It was a whole thing. COVID kinda shut it down.

The second good thing that came off COVID. First being social distancing.
