I think it's awesome how I've made two threads about how much I hate my ovaries/uterus etc. and I didn't even realize it.

"In general, sentences are more active, more restless, more forward-driving than periods, which tend to be more static and symmetrical."

king_buzzo 10.28.2007 03:23 PM

avantgarde1 10.28.2007 04:37 PM

a dear friend once told me "don't ever trust anything that walks around bleeding for 7 days and doesn't die. it's just not natural".

Menstruation is a superpower for that very reason.

Besides, I usually only bleed for 5-6 days. You can trust me.

I thought you liked that corny shit.

You mean me? What gave you the impression that I "liked that corny shit?"

atari 2600 10.28.2007 05:06 PM

The right to "bare arms?"

"corny shit" = not a good mental image

There is a webpage called "help her have a happy period"

www.always.com/mom/boostmood.jsp

The last section entitled "give her a facial" could use some work

m1rr0r dash 10.28.2007 07:07 PM

i was also dissapointed in the section of the site that claimed to be for online predators.

MellySingsDoom 01.30.2009 05:53 AM

I think that, in England at least, there's still that mentality of the "purity" of the body being dirtied by menstrual blood, sexual discharge etc, and of not allowing this so-called "shame" to be made public. Which is a tad ridiculous, as all women menstruate and all men (well, at least those who aren'tr impotent...) ejaculate.

Talking of which, has anyone made a record based on menstrual cycle patterns etc? I know Coil did an interview once, where they talked about doing a record based on female energies....it would also be the sort of thing that Jorge Vallis/Vagina Dentata Organ or the Hafler Trio might have explored...

the same scene had played the last time i went there too. part of me, i admit it! said no to the bag the 2nd time he was asking, on purpose.
worst is when women do that. like in my office, one time i had one in my pocket to go change and a girl told me secretly, "it shows!". yeah, so?


Yeah, I never saw the big deal. It happens to half the people on the planet, so what?

MellySingsDoom 01.30.2009 06:32 AM

Thanks for the Coil interview link, Nefeli - I don't think I've seen this one before. :) I'lll see if I can find the Coil article I was referring to later on.

ploesj 01.30.2009 09:04 AM

[quote=Nefeli]i know. i hate it. i m fed up with it all these years*.
and what doesnt make any sense is why it has the word "men" init. i m sorry, but noone can relate to this pain but women who suffer by it.
quote]

it doesnt come from the word 'men' but from the latin word mensis, which means month.

indeed, they can't relate ;-) it has nothing to do with men.

thank you! false etymologies drive me nuts. such as american feminists complaining of the word "history" has the "prefix" (!!!) "his"-- oyyyy!!!!

happy cramps, ladies.

may i suggest a bit reflexology? works well on my victims.

ps- agh, i suggested that already, ages ago. o well.

shentov 01.30.2009 12:25 PM

There was a band named Yeastie Girls, who used to "play" indie-a cappella-rap music, and all their lyrics were about tampon, cunts, female anatomy, in the name of anarchy and people emancipation..
Awful.

My ex-wife found that pot helped with the cramps.

Guys who say women are whining needlessly about their periods are just asking for it.

Nefeli - hey, just remembered...didn't Maurizio Bianchi/MB do an album called "Menses"?...just done a search, and he did! It be here: http://sickness-abounds.blogspot.com...o-bianchi.html

I always suggested to my male friends the experience of getting into a bath full of water, pulling the plug, laying there and not moving until all the bath water had drained out. The return to normal resistance after the weightless feeling in water gives an idea of the feeling I get.. you just have to imagine it internalised.

plus some stabbing pain akin to minor/major (depending on the month) food poisoning in the uterus area.

ploesj 02.01.2009 05:38 PM

i once heard from a coworker in the costume shop that she asked her boyfriend to stand on her stomach. he was pretty heavy and the weight would ease the pain and make the blood... flow easier.

that's what you get when you do a summer job in a sewing atelier with fifteen women.

大友皇子即位説(おおとものみこそくいせつ)は、江戸時代から唱えられた学説で、日本史学で長く続く論争点である。671年天智天皇の死後に朝廷を主宰した大友皇子は、翌672年壬申の乱で、大海人皇子(天武天皇)に敗れて死んだ。この間に大友皇子が即位して天皇になったのか、それとも即位しないうちに死んだのかが争 点である。大友皇子は1870年に諡号を贈られて弘文天皇と呼ばれたため、弘文天皇即位説(こうぶんてんのうそくいせつ)ともいう。……

speaking of sucking periods...

an acquaintance of the wife goes by the name The Applicator. it's a self-advertising gimmick to get what he likes, and what he likes is, orally servicing menstrating women.

not exactly my cup o' tea, but I figured this would be a good thread to mention it.

that's low grade vampirism. i like my blood FRESH, not semi-decomposed, but to each their own.

maybe he just can't afford a good steak.
