Why we Boys should help girls with their periods? Here's what I did
Most of my male friends treat period as if it's "repulsive," and a lot of my female friends get embarrassed and anxious and feel bad about having their period.I was bothered by other guys' attitude.I actually had started carrying tampons and pads in my bag because my girl friends often had to improvise with amusing ways to stop themselves from leaking into their uniforms. I decided to call out the other boys at my school on social groups.I added a tag #realmensupportwomen#.On my post, I challenged other guys to follow what I did.
What I added-
"TO EVERY BOY THAT FOLLOWS ME AND CALLS HIMSELF A MAN OR SIMPLY A GOOD HUMAN BEING.
Petition for all of us to start bringing a couple pads or tampons to school to help our girl friends. If you have a girlfriend or are friends with a girl, u know that they don't always have tampons or pads with them, or that sometimes their period just hits them without notice and have a bit of a problem finding one. We should support them with this, after all, we don't have to go trough all they they do because of menstruation, so it's just logical that we help them. You should already know to give them your sweater and not question when they wrap it around their waist. So let's step it up a notch and help them out. IF YOU HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR YOUR MOTHER, YOUR GIRLFRIEND, OR JUST WOMEN IN GENERAL I EXPECT FOR YOU TO FOLLOW ME. To every girl that follows me- You are completely welcomed to ask me for a pad at any time without receiving a negative response or a dirty look. We should all help each other out like this so you don't have to thank me at all.
#realmensupportwomen"
I posted the picture then, and at first, no one paid attention. But then a girl from my class mentioned it on a social platform, and my post began to be shared. I has many likes for it. although I had some negative comments, many supported for my period help crusade.By this I wanted a way of making a difference. I know I can't end bigger problems like sexism, racism, homophobia, and others, even though I want to, so for now, I'll attempt to end the taboo that guys associate menstruation with.
So BOYS, SPREAD THIS POST AMONG YUOR PEERS AND I CHALLENGE YOU TO DO SO.
