Hannibal Lecter is that you?!?! 👀

Oh no - I understood your point CLEARLY. The interesting part is that your comment didn't articulate the point that you THOUGHT you were making.

Text book Reductio ad absurdum fallacy.

I too would look for the emergency exit or default to gaslighting if the foundation of my argument was built upon blatant strawman arguments.

Underrated comment.

Vaginas don't need washing out, just the surrounds, so yeah, totally ok to use a tampon. And for the record I don't blame you. I guess the fuck up was communication or lack thereof, if anything.

don't care, didnt ask

bruh do men get periods? exactly. its about the shame being a woman some girls feel alright, if men were in women's place then no one would jump them please sit down theyre neither oppressed nor struggling because of their very own assigned gender at birth

Calm down there thrwaway9932 is it your time of the month? (tongue in cheek)

I asked why he was being bashed

I didn’t call any one names or say I agreed with op ,I don’t really care that much to pick sides

What makes you think I want praise from a man or anyone ?

I was curious to why him not showering with her on her period was a reason to tell him he was insensitive to her needs etc everyone would be shouting red flag behaviour if a man became emotional because a women didn’t jump at the chance to join him in the shower after he asked

It’s been interesting seeing people cast aspersions.

People with heavy flows exist. With this key bit of context (which isn’t really anyone else’s business) standing in bloody water is all of a sudden very possible.

I didn’t know the tampon was used in the shower, no, but why are folks acting like it couldn’t leak out? At risk of being ‘wrong and strong’ I’ll stand by what I said originally - I’m sure I’ll still be educated by all of the biologists.

If that was the case the title of this TIFU would be "my girlfriend MISUNDERSTOOD why I didn't want to take a shower " not use a lame emoji to reference periods. He's immature.

He's made it clear in this post that he's grossed out (or uneducated) by it.

News flash: women produce vaginal discharge every day, so I guess if you’ve ever swam with a woman, you’ve swam in diluted discharge. And as long as you are wearing a tampon, it’s perfectly sanitary go swimming while on your period. I mean as sanitary as anything else in a public pool.

Dunno why ppl are acting like there would be no blood. Mustn't have heavy ones. He didn't know she used a tampon in the shower.

Multiple is a relative word. In a non-mathematical context such as this, it means having several of. Most vehicles are multi-ton beasts. Sedans, which are on the smaller side of vehicles, are still massive and heavy. 1.5+ is multiple in my opinion. Either way, why are you getting pedantic when the issue I brought up is based around the life-threatening decisions of op? Something way over a ton and a half, probably more, is extremely dangers moving over 15 mph. Nevermind if the driver is impaired to the point of not understanding their circumstances.

I think “multiple” in this context means more than one, but integers only.

Me too! But also for daily driver and gaming.

Such a long comment 🤓 totally missed my point.

I don’t think you understand how numbers work.

Most women in the comments immediately wrote the dude off as a misogynistic jerk - without a shred of empathy or nuance in their responses.

Neither the parents, nor sex education, nor any science books or any mainstream media tells me how a period looks in the shower. Most men don't know until they hear it first hand OR encounter it with a girlfriend in some way shape or form.

THANK YOU for your comment. Communication is key with these kinds of things and that's hard to have when we IMMEDIATELY write other people off as if we ourselves are ALWAYS RIGHT and we the in and out of EVERYTHING, ALL THE TIME.

The guy came to this reddit thread, humbled with his hat in his hand, admitting guilt and seeking penance - only to be reminded that he should have somehow already known this kinda stuff. Most teenage boys also believe that a period is like a gorey, horror film and are kinda grossed out by it all. But most of us grow to understand it better with time and even when we didn't understand it + we were not out here BASHING women about it. But just keep in mind that not wanting period sex or wanting to shower with a spouse during her menstrual cycle is not synonymous with not understanding a period or penalizing a women because of it --- sometimes it's just a matter of PERSONAL CHOICE.

But you did DUI

Then why do you use marijuana and drive? It’s almost the same thing. You were obviously too under the influence to make safe decisions. You should rethink the decision to dui.

I’m aware, which is why I included it in the post. I’m just answering this person’s question
