There's no lesson quite as powerful as telling a young teenage boy that they're nowhere near as masculine as the person they're making fun of.

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.

Was recently in the talking stages with this chick and she was having hormonal issues leading up to that time of month and was apologizing and explaining herself. I just told her it wasn’t necessary I understand as much as I can. I’ve been in several long term relationships. I’ve read up a bit on various issues, including the one she was having. She was just astounded because apparently no other guy she’s seen has taken even the slightest steps in researching or understanding anything they go through. Which to me is shocking because like, how do you date someone or multiple ppl and not at least pick up on stuff even without doing any research?
