link hereI hate periods.
I hate how for some people (like me) they come every fucking fortnight. (ALthough I should probably get that checked out to make sure I don't have anything worse to hate, like ovarian cancer.)
I hate how it aches and aches and makes you feel like vomiting, and feverish and grumpy and tired and hot and like your uterus is folding itself in two.
I hate how it always comes unexpectedly, like when you are staying at someone's house, and gets all over your clothing and bed sheets.
I hate that we are forced to either jam something up our vagina or stick a mattress to our underwear. How degrading is that!
I hate that for 3 to 7 days, and sometimes the preceding couple of days too, we have to dose ourselves up on painkillers to maintain a semi-human demeanour.
But you know what
I hate most of all?
I hate that males have NO FUCKING IDEA what it's like. They think we just bleed for a bit and get on with it. They don't know what a physically exhausting, painful, traumatic time it is, and they don't appreciate that we can experience it and still function, because we all know that if a boy felt like we do just once he would think he was dying and stay in bed.
Ps. I also hate that I am a lesbian and never going to bear children, but I have to endure cruel and pointless periods.
