Are you ever around women who seem frustrated upset or irritated? Have you ever asked one of them if she is on her period or perhaps been tempted to inquire?
How many of you have ever asked or heard this question, “Is it that time of the month for you?”
Society expects women to be cheerful. Anytime a woman is lightly in a bad mood. It’s always because of her period.
Women have been bleeding once a month since dawn of the time and even during “that time of the month”, they have achieved greatness. They have ruled nations, closed business deals, run households, hosted dinner parties during this so called “that time of the month”
Then WHY women are ridiculed and shamed for something that they can not control and for something that doesn’t control them?
A menstruating woman doesn’t loose her rationality, just as a man with an annoying paper cut is still capable of making decisions. Dismissing one’s opinions because they’re unstable, that’s gaslighting.
Unless you actually believe in women’s inferiority and want to imply that you don’t think women and girls can act rationally, never ever ask them at any point of time, ” Are you on your periods ?” or “Is it that time of the month?”
