Wait, so him not wanting to shower with her during her menstrual cycle = him thinking she's less of a human?!?!?! 🤔

Using your logic, if she said that she wouldn't want to shower with him after a long day of playing rugby because she was grossed out when she has to watch him pull back the skin of his uncircumcised penis to clear out the smegma in the shower = her thinking he's less of a human.

Her not liking him with a mouth full of crooked teeth = her thinking he's less of a human.

Her not liking him because he's 5'0 and weighs 300 pounds is = her thinking he's less of a human.

Her having any physical, religious, ethnographic or personal preferences whatsoever in regard to which men she chooses to date and how she chooses to interact with them physically, socially, sexually or personally is = her doubting the validity of their humanity?!?!

Why default to such narrow-minded, melodramatic diatribes to get your point across?? Why default to accusations of misogynism when the guy could just simply be a bit ignorant and uniformed with this kind of stuff.

Why result in blaming the parents of these two young people when you've clearly never met or interacted with either of them ever in person??

Do you feel better about yourself when you tell other people that they ain't shit, their own lived experiences and perspectives ain't shit and their parents ain't shit - when they come to a reddit page focused on admitting guilt or a misunderstanding or mishandling of a situation when they're clearly seeking penance?!?!

For some guys and gals - the best way to have "mess free sex" is simply to wait until the period has come and gone and the vaginal walls, utereal lining and everything else has been refreshed. Sounds misogynistic - but we're talking 4th grade BIOLOGICAL FACTS here ladies and gentlemen.

Stop telling people that they should grow up and 'put down towels' or result to 'shower sex' because that's the best way to show your woman that you care. Should the guy make his woman feel bad for having a period on vacation or immediately get defensive if she notices his hesitation for a joint shower during her menstrual cycle?? Of course not!! But in the same vain of being empathetic humans who don't put our perspectives, needs or wants above those of others, she should also NOT make him feel bad if he has his own preferences in these kinds of situations. The guy most certainly should have used more tact and grace in regard to how he communicated with his lady in this situation. He is also probably expected to know that most period days for women aren't gorey, blood soaked horror scenes like LOTS of young boys think they are when we first learn about the fact that the vagina bleeds several days a month and women have to wear garments or devices or make different accommodations for a few days a month to catch and capture the blood.

But you can only speak for YOUR BODY and YOUR PERIOD from YOUR EXPERIENCE. Why project your perspective onto others who have their own set of perspectives, experiences and realities. I think that getting into a swimming pool when you KNOW BEFOREHAND that you're on your period is inconsiderate, selfish and flat out unsanitary. The strangers at the pool don't know that they and their kids are swimming around in your vaginal discharge and bodily waste no matter how watered down it is. I ain't tryna shame you for your take but please try and refrain from taking the moral high ground in discussions like this...smh.

Reddish water…? 🙄 I guess we shouldn’t expect you to know much about periods if you’ve never had one BUT- if a woman invited you to shower with her she probably doesn’t need space “to sort out womanly shit”.

(What does that even mean?)

Ya you f””ked up. And if she sees this this post you’ll be digging a deeper hole. Just fyi

There's nothing childish, misogynistic or even anything remotely problematic about a guy not wanting to shower OR have sex with his girlfriend while she's on her period. He's allowed to have his own preferences that are not determined or REGULATED or SHAMED by his girlfriend, people on Reddit or mainstream society as a whole.

Him not knowing that the shower would most likely NOT look like a scene out of horror movie is indeed a bit childish and misinformed, lol. But lots of guys don't know this stuff unless they hear it from a woman or learn it first hand through experience as this kinda stuff is NOT covered in sex ed class and might not come up in daily conversations.

He didn't handle this situation in the best way but neither did his girlfriend. He didn't use any tact or situational awareness to communicate his thoughts and she immediately defaulted to a state of insecurity and gaslighting to get her point across.

I personally love and respect women, enjoy having sex and a physical relationship with them and I am empathetic to some of inconveniences of being a woman and I know that a period is a biological process that's essential to our ability to create life. But that still doesn't negate the fact that I'm also extremely turned off by the sight of a bloody vagina. And I'm smart enough to know that period blood is blood mixed with microscopic pieces of flesh (uteral lining...etc) and I just choose to avoid it if I can and I've been blessed to deal with women who understand this and don't judge me because of it.

Nuance is clearly a lost art with folks these days and the self righteousness and entitlement of folks who rush to judge others is an intellectual haphazard at best and flat out toxic is in lots of cases these days. Smh...
