The Flood Myth
This woman worked with a guy who thought women only get their periods on weekends and have to be in close proximity to a toilet whenever that happens. How on earth did he get this idea? Do all the women around him stay at home every single weekend? Do they never go out, take trips or go to the beach on weekends? That’s so depressing! Maybe he got this information from a girl who didn’t want to go out with him and told him this as an excuse.
It’s like in old movies when the generic excuse girls used for refusing a date was that they were washing their hair. “Sorry, I can’t come, I’m on my period” – just imagine! Anyway, I don’t want to think about what he thought actually goes on inside a woman’s body when she’s on her period, which would prevent her from roaming freely in the world. Sounds scary.
