Why the fuck do I have to pay some male-dominated corporation upwards of $60 a year just because the lining of my uterus naturally sheds once a month?

Because you like not smelling bad and having to buy new [under]pants every month?

As nasty as the idea of being disgusting and bleeding all over everything six out of every twenty-eight days seems to me, I am so angry that I pay grossly inflated prices for what is essentially cotton on a string because I have no other option. The female-care industry cares way more about my money than they do my body and I hate that there's nothing I can do about it, because if I boycott the industry then that's gross and socially unacceptable. There is no male equivalent, as best as I can tell, to the feminine hygiene industry. Even necessary male products, products like condoms, still have a massive female market. And women are making less money to begin with!

It's a total suckfest, is what it is.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO LOVING YOUR PERIOD?!?!?!?!?!!

I DO LOVE IT. I think it's a biological MIRACLE! I just don't love how I'm essentially over-charged on a montly basis for something that happens to my body that I can't control.
