DISCLAIMER: Before you read this article, I must warn you it can be quite triggering for some. BEFORE YOU LISTEN: In honor of National Period Day, I thought it would be good to inform and bring up things going on that you might not already know. Personally, I don’t get the whole stigma of periods. Then again I’m kind of bias since I have one, but that’s besides the point. It’s bloody natural, and the fact that some people can go into extensive detail about a night that went wrong with a sex partner or how chipotle didn’t settle well with them, but turn squeamish and disgusted at something that is natural and has been happening since the beginning of time stuns me.

DISCLAIMER: Before you read this article, I must warn you it can be quite triggering for some. I made it that way for a reason. No matter what party you stand behind, whether it be left or right, I want to spark this conversation for real. I want a right-wing to read this and get mad for me "falsely" calling them out. I want a left-wing person to read this and get upset that I called them out as well. I may not agree with some of these very radical statements mentioned, but it's all here and said to prove a point. You don't control women's bodies, it's just that simple. Get mad. Spark a conversation. See things from a new perspective, or at least try to. Men, put yourself in our shoes just for a moment. Again, if you have some hate you want to leave in the comments don't bother. I don't care. I write to spark change. I write to tell perspective changing stories. I won't change my writing for a couple of cry babies who didn't get their way. Get over yourselves. Our country IS a crisis. Time you realize that and work with others instead of contributing to the reason it's all going to shit.
