  • Period Poverty Is A Load Of BullS**T

    What is all this rubbish about period poverty, according to some “experts” 1 in 10 girls can’t afford to buy menstrual products, well I say what a load of rubbish, you can pick up a pack of sanitary towels for under 50p, if they cannot afford that then clearly they are soon going to die as they must be homeless, foodless and close to a pending death…. 50 bloody pence how can this be period poverty.

    What are these girls and woman buying that is so expensive are they bleeding in to diamonds and gold???

    One site claims menstrual products cost more than £18,000, in a women’s life (approx £13 every month)!!! oh piss off I spend one whole pound a month.

    Did you know you can buy Tesco essentials sanitary towels (pack of 10) for only 23p.

    Mate why are we mak out that girls are housebound during their periods and missing school, this is a bullshit excuse for them to sit at home and take snapchats or watch a Netflix series.

    Period poverty in the Uk is absolute rubbish, if you are a parent and cant find 23p for your daughter to bleed in maybe you need to look at your life and make changes, all this is are more snowflakes crying because they have to pay a few pence tax on the product or deem that they shouldnt have to pay as they do not have a choice but to bleed every month… well there are choices…. free bleed and be part of the growing creepy trend, buy some god damn cheap sanitary towels, or a reusable menstrual cup, shut up, woman have been bleeding since forever… you crazy woman make me fear for the future

  • Visuals Are Powerful-This Is The Size Of Your Uterus

    The UH MAZING UTERUS!!

    “Visuals are POWERFUL! They truly give you a better grasp on a concept.

    This is an adult uterus. It grows up to 3x its original size during menstruation. “When your baby reaches full term, your uterus will be bigger than five times its original size with a capacity of 500 times more than before you conceived. It’ll be 15 times heavier on its own without the baby and the placenta. After you give birth, the uterus immediately starts contracting to shrink itself. One week after delivery it’ll weigh about 1.5 pounds (680g) but two weeks after birth it’ll be down to 11 ounces (312g). By six weeks after pregnancy it’ll be back to its pre-pregnancy weight of 2.5 ounces (71g).” Source: Pregnancy-Info.net

    Isn’t that incredible! 😲 Such a small organ that literally populates the world.”

    “Edited: This image is so amazing. I am trying to locate the photographer for attribution. Also, learn a bit more about the details of this womb. It is a post menopausal uterus and ovaries removed in a radical hysterectomy. I cannot be sure what exactly was going on with this uterus but please stick around for an update ❤️Update: @docshawarma originally posted this and I believe it to be his image. ☺️”

     

  • Serious Tampon Warning Woman Take Note

    Kristina Makris has taken to Facebook to warn woman about the risks involved when using tampons.

    Makris said “5 months ago this was me in ICU because of a Tampon. I almost lost my life. It brings me to tears looking at this picture but I’m writing this to help people understand the risks of Tampons.

    If you are a guy reading this please continue because you may have a sister or daughter that could use some guidance. When I was younger I would read the back of the tampon box about risks of TSS and thought 🤔 I’m invincible that would never happen to me. Well I was terribly wrong.

    At 32 years young I almost died. There is not enough awareness about the risks of wearing a tampon. No, I never left it in more than 6-8 hours. Super absorbency Tampons put you at a higher risk. What happens is the fibers start to develop bacteria then turns into a staff infection and the infection travels to your blood and then to your organs and that’s when your body starts shutting down. (I went septic)

    After my last period I started feeling under the weather. I just didn’t feel well. I could tell my body was trying to fight something. Then I developed a swollen lymph node on my left groin. (I thought it was a pulled groin) I felt I was getting a cold and everyday got worse and worse. This went on for 2 weeks. Monday, January 15th is the day I woke up and it all hit me.

    Flu like symptoms. Fever, chills, vomiting and a rash developed on my Left inner thigh. I had just moved back home to my parents a week prior and If it wasn’t for my mom, I would not be here writing this post. The doctors told me if I didn’t come when I did I either would have lost limbs or worse… died.

    I had surgery on my inner thigh where the infection localized. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks being pumped 24/7 with 2 kinds of antibiotics. I was pumped with bags and bags of fluid to raise my blood pressure that I had gained 30 pounds of fluid. After a week of being bedridden I finally looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize myself. When I was finally sent home the fight wasn’t over.

    I had an iv attached to my arm 24/7 pumping me with antibiotics along with a wound vac attached to my inner thigh 24/7. It took 3 months to physically get back to my normal life. Mentally I’m still struggling with the trauma. I’m not super vocal when it comes to the mental part but I really just want women to understand that this all happened from a fucking TAMPON.

    And if I could save someone from having to go through what I went through I will vocalize any time for anyone who wants to hear. PLEASE TAG your friends, daughters, nieces anyone who could use some awareness on this. Much love 💗 Thank you for reading 🙏🏼 please share this post and raise awareness.

  • Ladies You’re Doing Way More Damage Than You Understand

    One mans rant about free bleeding mum with her children hugging her blood stained legs have gone viral.

    Dominick Izzo said:

    Look, ladies, you’re doing way more damage than you understand.

    Saw a picture of a woman doing an incredible yoga pose in her Instagram account.

    She was on her left leg and held her right leg way in the air, almost parallel with her head and straightened spine.

    She had her daughter and son (who looked that he was about 5) gripping on to her posted leg, with both of their faces in her crotch… and she was wearing a very small pair of white shorts that clearly showed she was menstruating.

    Her caption read, “if this monthly flood of ours makes you uncomfortable, maybe I should remind you where the fuck you come from.”

    You think it’s cute. You think your monthly, natural event is beautiful and a celebration… not to a boy it’s not. Because we don’t experience it.

    You think this “fluidity thing” is a game for you to play with your children and that sexuality, gender and identity is simply a fun way for you to live vicariously through your children because your mind is fucked up and you’re not going to oppress your child how your parents oppressed you.

    Let me tell you something about boys; want to know why they are so much easier to raise than girls?

    Because boys are biology designed to do one thing very well… get females pregnant. While little Suzie has a brain that is dynamic and ever-changing, us males are locked on toys, playing war or with toy guns, lego’s and sex.

    By around 13 boys are capable of creating life.

    And our drive to procreate is also a designed biological miracle. We’re pretty much one tracked minded from pre puberty on.

    It’s makes us simple but that’s also a problem because it’s all we think about. And it’s distracting enough in life.

    You come along at show Little Johnny how wonderful mommy’s vagina is and confuse him even more with the fact that she’s bleeding and you’re screwing up your child in ways that you should be ordered to therapy for.

    When I was 9, friends of mine and I found our first “dirty magazines” while we were playing in an alley. We had NO CLUE what we were seeing.

    At 9 years old, a boy shouldn’t be subjected to seeing the images we saw. We weren’t ready to understand what we these grown adults were doing.

    But I remember we talking about it for months and passed the magazine around every chance we had.

    That was decades ago. All some 9-year-old has to do today is google porn images and Mum and Dad have a lot of talking to do.

    Believe it or not, it is a form of PTSD.

    Men and women aren’t designed to see body parts blown open on the battle field and little boys aren’t ready to see or focus on sexuality issues that most adults are too embarrassed to admit they don’t even understand yet too.

    Stop your bullshit.

    Stop pumping your 8-year-old boys with female hormones because YOU have issues.

    Stop showing your boys that it’s ok to dress up in girls clothes, because it’s not.

    Stop telling you child that they can be anything they want, because that is a lie that will completely destroy them in the long run.

    Kids aren’t meant to be your blank canvas where you get to paint anything you want, let the paint dry and then paint something else over it.

    Be a parent. Not someone who wants to pump out a creation that is born perfect AS IS, but you think you know better than God does and want to make up for your messed up past.

    A boy is a boy. And can NEVER be a girl.

     

  • Should Parents Have To Work At Christmas

    Should Parents Have To Work At Christmas

    I am a lone parent and up until last week was a respected night carer, having worked for 18 months for the same employer.

    Last year I worked Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, fine by me.

    This year I was scheduled to work Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve and day, night shifts.

    Now I understand I have to do my fair share but spoke with my employer and explained as a lone parent to three small children I would be unable to get child care for the Christmas Eve shift, even if I could have, my children’s Christmas would have been ruined, Santa wouldn’t come until I returned home, small children forced to wait several hours for me to get home and a very tired mum.

    My employer in his wisdom decided it was my choice to have children and he would not change the rota.

    Well I’d rather lose my job than my children, there was no one to look after my children that night and would never in a million years leave them home alone, I had no option but to hand in my notice, I debated just going “sick” for the shift but knew my employer would take disciplinary action.

    I spoke with a group of mothers at a playgroup and many thought my employer was being unfair, but one mum said “why would you get a job that requires you to work over Christmas to start with?, those without children deserve Christmas off as well.

    So this began a debate, should parents have to work Christmas?

    Should dads get as much time off as mums, should lone parents get priority?

    Well in an ideal world everyone would get time off, but hospitals, care homes, police and fire services and many other professions have no other choice but to remain open.

    I do feel that people should be given the option to work on which days suit them during the festive period, there are people who enjoy working other Christmas for the over time or simple do not celebrate it.

    If staff cannot come to arrangement to cover shifts then I do feel Christmas Day should be given off to those with small children.

    Let me know your thoughts in the comments, should parents get Christmas off?
