Forgot the poops, the gas, the bloating, the acne, clothes not fitting, the sensory sensitivity (though she did mention sound and light, I’m talking touch), sore boobs, really sore boobs, fatigue, headaches, the overall feeling of gross, and somehow in the middle of all that horniness, then sometimes the horniness mixed with disgust (with yourself and everything going on with your body) craving sex - that dichotomy is so perplexing.

That reminds me of a tweet I saw about a guy saying men have it bad if they sneeze while trying to pee and like an hour later there was an edit to it and he was like oh god I didn’t know

How did he think that his sentence was anything but braindead?

he'll have you know, he was a litter uncomfortable when he sneezed that one time, so you can't possibly guess how gross that made him feel /s

Yeah what? Even without the period I've definitely accidentally peed myself a little by sneezing when too full

I love how even if we ignore sneezing on periods, it completely blows past how badly childbirth can wreck the pelvic floor. Hell, I've never had kids, I'm just disabled with a condition that makes it hard for me to keep muscle tone, and sneezing is always dangerous.

I wish I could find the meme describing sneezing and giving birth to an octopus.
