A werewolf film written by a woman wouldn’t be as interesting because they know how unrealistic it is to be caught by surprise by something that happens regularly every damn month.
And then there’s that werewolf who goes three full moons without transforming, then transforms one night during a waxing crescent moon.
Now I’m imagining some on the werewolf form of the pill and having to regularly keep up their schedule and one werewolf telling another that they used to have such irregular changes but the pill now makes things so much easier and the other werewolves being like oh man I should talk to my doctor about this.
All i imagined is some poor fucker that’s like “you think you have it bad. I got my first change at 9 and change sporadically every 4 months or so. For 2 weeks. Sometimes it happens randomly so i just gave up.”
Wake up pissed and agitated with a headache and slam some aspirin with no real thought to the matter because it must just be a shit day. Halfway through the day they just “…oh shit that explains so much fuck fuck fuck”
Switch to a new kind of transformation control and spend the next three months awkwardly half wolfed-out
98% of the time: yes.
2% of the time: uterus wildcard!
normal!body: hello i would like some spinach i lack folate
period!body: I WANT EIGHT GREGG’S SAUSAGE ROLLS

period!body: I DEMAND CHOCOLATE

period!body: NO I WANT SHIT CHOCOLATE. LOTS OF SHIT CHOCOLATE. I DEMAND TO EAT OUT-OF-DATE DOUBLEDECKERS UNTIL I AM VOMITING
me: … that’s not happening either.
period!body: FRY ME EVERYTHING
me: um
period!body: GO OUTSIDE AND FRY THAT DOG
How is not having a period healthy? Lol went through boot camp and because of the stress, lack of sleep, and change of diet, half of the females didn’t have period. So I guess that’s healthy too huh
The terrifying thing is this is a sentiment shared by a girl known as Freelee The Banana Girl. She had 738,000+ subscribers on youtube. People listen to her because she is thin and attractive. She told 730k people, mostly women and girls, that losing your period is preferred because periods are a sign of toxins in your blood.
“I still believe that, largely, menstruation is toxicity leaving the body,” she explains in her controversial video, which saw heavy criticism from some viewers and eating disorder charity Beat. “So a lot of people are having these heavy, heavy periods and painful periods because they have a toxic body or have a toxic diet.”
No fucking joke. She tells women if they are having heavy periods they should start a “100%high carb raw vegan diet as soon as possible”. This video had 350k+ views as of May of this year.
I’m so tired of “fitness experts” posting videos and FB posts that give outrightly wrong information and encourage women and girls to develop socially acceptable eating disorders.
“But periods aren’t stimatized at all”
And why does she talk like a fucking cave man
Jesus fucking Christ she should be arrested can you arrested for giving out terrible, life-ending advice?? If your body isn’t menstruating and it’s supposed to?? Something’s WRONG.
Even dedicated athletes know that missing your period because of an extreme exercise schedule should be a temporary event. It’s a sign of starvation and stress. 1 or 2 missed periods from heavy exercise is the signal to the athlete that it’s time to nourish and destress the body. Pushing further than that eventually results in actual damage to your body and possibly death.
Eat food kids. Periods are as normal as breathing.
Menstruation happens because your body sheds the lining of the uterus once a month to get rid of unfertilized eggs and any eggs that were fertilized but failed to attach well enough to grow into a healthy fetus.
The only reason you shouldn’t be having periods is if your body isn’t releasing eggs. I don’t because I’m on birth control specifically to prevent periods. This is a perfectly healthy thing to do if you need to prevent periods due to health reasons, or, heck, just if you don’t want them any more and don’t have any notable side effects from the birth control.
There is NO other healthy circumstance under which you should not be having periods, unless you’re past menopause, do not have ovaries and/or a uterus, or are pregnant. A few health conditions can also cause it. Very rarely, someone with a uterus simply won’t have periods because of an odd, harmless body quirk of one sort or another, but your period stopping without a direct cause is a significant sign for concern. One missed period could be a sign of stress, overexertion, or a weird hormone quirk, and may not be cause for concern but means that you should think hard about what you’ve been doing lately. Two or more is a Problem.
Heavy, painful periods are caused by health issues. Endometriosis is a big one, but there are many other illnesses. None of them are caused by a poor diet. You can eat nothing but candy and fast food and it will do nothing to your period unless you’re malnourished. Heck, outright being poisoned won’t affect your period unless your organs start to shut down.
Not like women have been telling y’all this since the beginning of time or anything.
I mean, yeah, at one point three years ago I was curled up in a fetal position literally screaming/crying/gasping for breath on my bed in my dorm room, so my response to this headline is basically, “No shit.”
No wonder women are so likely to ignore heart disease/attack symptoms. If something isn’t as bad as my cramps, I figure it can’t be that bad.
THAT LAST COMMENT
!!!!!
No seriously. There aren’t enough people who understand how important that last comment is. I lost my right kidney four years ago because of “if something isn’t as bad as my cramps, I figure it can’t be that bad.”
My. Fucking. Kidney.
Don’t force people with periods to internalize and silence themselves when they have cramps!
Can confirm “can’t be that bad because period”. I had a kidney stone and it took me like 2-3 days to realize it wasn’t my period because it basically felt like that. Pain is normal for women (and other people with a uterus), it’s part of being a woman, and so we’re much less likely to know when the pain we’re having is bad because we deal with so much of it some much more often than men do. Pain is not always a “something is wrong” indicator for us.
jesus. I never thought of it that way.
Every woman rebloging this
LISTEN
YOUR PERIOD IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THAT PAINFUL.
IF YOU ARE 18 OR OLDER AND IN THAT MUCH PAIN DURING YOUR PERIOD, SOMETHING IS MEDICALLY WRONG.
Period cramps are uncomfortable, but that’s it. They should not be more than mild pain. If you are in severe pain, you need to see a doctor, because something is wrong. Me, I have endometriosis- which can be diagnosed without a pelvic exam, by the way, just an ultrasound. There’s a ton of other things that it can be, as well. You can get treatment for problems, you can get painkillers, and you can get medications to stop your period.
That’s right, YOU CAN STOP YOUR PERIOD. There are different birth controls you can take to entirely stop your period. If you don’t want to have a baby right now, you can take one of those. No more cramps! I’m on a progesterone-only medication, estrogen didn’t agree with me, and it works perfectly. No side effects, and, if I take it on time every day, I get no periods. Maybe some mild tenderness now and then or a couple days of light bleeding, but that’s it, and usually not even for that. And, if I take the meds late and I do get my period, it’s way milder than usual and I have prescription painkillers to handle the cramps.

People die from their appendix bursting all the time because of this!!!!!!
THEY AREN’T SUPPOSED TO BE.
Listen up, people with uteruses: if you are in serious pain during your period, something is medically wrong and you need to see a doctor. You should be, at worst, in moderate discomfort. The sort of thing where you don’t particularly want to do too much, but you’re OK if you have to. If you are in debilitating pain, SEE A DOCTOR. (And, for those worried about it, a lot of cramp-worsening ailments can be diagnosed without a pelvic exam. It’s usually questions about exactly what kind of pain and what makes it worse, an exam that consists of lightly pressing on various parts of your lower stomach, and possibly an ultrasound.)
