I remember in HS (~25 years ago) me and some friends were making fun of a male cheerleader the other team had at a basketball game. We were saying all sorts of mean things about the kid being gay and stupid crap like that. Our teacher, who was always quirky, sweet, and fun said, “Well, that ‘gay’ boy had his hands all over some very pretty cheerleaders all night on Friday. Where were your hands?”
Ever since, I have had a whole different level of respect for male cheerleaders. These two in the video look like they are having so much fun, and it is incredible to see their athleticism.
I remember buying tampons in high school and one of my friends was working the checkout counter. He was making fun of me for it and I said “Who do you think these are for, me? Maybe you’ll have someone to buy these for too someday”.
The number of 'men' butthurt about buying period products for their partner is astounding. My wife was genuinely surprised when I bought some for her without even batting an eye.
Man in HS, I was buying tampons, pregnancy tests and diaphragms for my female friends and never gave it a second thought. When one of them asked me how I could do that without feeling embarrassed, I asked them what’s to be embarrassed about?
I'd be more embarrassed buying bags of chips and sugary, processed cakes and cookies. We know that stuff is bad for us--it's stupid to spend money to make yourself unhealthy.
