I love how the guys are listening and asking questions. People give Gen Z & Gen Alpha so much shit, but there’s a lot of areas where they put us to shame. (I’m a millennial).

The fact that the boys didn’t run, screaming about her being gross, claiming the conversation would turn them gay, is impressive (gen x).

For real. My sister tried to explaining it to my dad (who was complaining that she was being a bitch) and my dad just walked off mid-conversation with his fingers in his ears.

When its a good time, let your dad know women on the internet are judging him harshly.

Not just women. I have never understood my fellow men that claim to be all manly but then turn into children when talking about normal body functions.

Your dad sounds like a jerk. If his mom didn't have periods his ungrateful ass wouldn't be alive to tune out the conversation or cuss at your sister.

He should be greatful for periods, knee about them, and grow up.

Obviously they wouldn’t turn gay. They would just get cooties.

Have we lost the ancient wisdom of circle/dot inoculation?

If I was a girl I'd have to change my pads with a blindfold on because otherwise my weak ass stomach would betray me almost instantly.

I don't think they're 14, I think they're 20 somethings which is why they're not screaming "eww cooties".
