The more I hear people talk about it who aren’t cis-het men, the more I hear criticism about the concept. But so far, I’ve only heard people say that it’s stupid, that it’s not a thing, that it’s men’s own fault etc. But I’ve yet to understand where that criticism comes from. I don’t want to start a discussion on whether or not it’s real or not. I just want to understand where the critics are coming from.

    I’ll disagree a little here.

    My wife’s had surgeries from men that know waaaaaay more about her period than she does.

    That being said, they went to school for a decade and have another decade of experience learning specifically about a topic. They aren’t just some random business student that dropped out 2 weeks into semester one and writes their theses via comments.

    Small but important caveat. Otherwise 100% agreed. I have no ideas on periods because I’m not a woman or a Dr.
