Periods are pretty taboo in front of male pals but one Facebook user has wonderfully pointed out that this shouldn’t be the case.
Chance Ward took to the social network last week to tell the tale of an experience at the gym.
Chance explains that he overheard a stranger asking a friend for a tampon. When the girl realizes Chance overheard, she grew embarrassed and began apologizing.
It was then that Chance reached into his own bag and pulled one out and offered it to the girl.
He writes:
“By the look on her face you would have thought I did a magic trick and pulled 36 titty-tasseled bunny rabbits out that damn bag.”
He then goes on to ask:
“Why don't y'all love y'all friends that menstruate? Like men will make whole guest rooms in their house just in case someone needs to stay. But god forbid that person menstruate, because I bet you won't be no extra pads or tampons under that guest bathroom sink.
Like why? Y'all know literally like half this world goes through this?”
He concludes by telling people to be more mindful of menstruating friends.
The post has been liked over 36,000 times and received almost 7k shares.
