"Recently, I read somewhere that severe menstrual cramps can hurt as much as labour pain (Whoa!)."
"A friend even complained about her husband throwing tantrums because she feels extremely uncomfortable having sex on her period! As if the stigma around the topic weren’t enough – the lack of empathy for women being physically, mentally and emotionally stressed is equally frustrating."
What I’m asking is for a little compassion for women who suffer pain during this time. To not make petty, usually sexist jokes about them. To understand that period pain is not something one gets used to, simply because she has it every month.
