I’ve said this before and I’ll point it out again - 

Menstruation is caused by change in hormonal levels to stop the creation of a uterine lining and encourage the body to flush the lining out. The body does this by lowering estrogen levels and raising testosterone. 

Or, to put it more plainly “That time of the month” is when female hormones most closely resemble male hormones. So if (cis) women aren’t suited to office at “That time of the month” then (cis) men are NEVER suited to office.

If you are a dude and don’t dig the ladies around you at their time of the month, just think! That is you all of the time. 

And, on a final note, post-menopausal (cis) women are the most hormonally stable of all human demographics. They have fewer hormonal fluctuations of anyone, meaning older women like Hilary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren would theoretically be among the least likely candidates to make an irrational decision due to hormonal fluctuations, and if we were basing our leadership decisions on hormone levels, then only women over fifty should ever be allowed to hold office. 

Reblogging hard for that last comment.

I WANTED TO SAY THIS BUT THEN SOMEONE ELSE DID and I’m damn proud.

Meanwhile, a shit-ton of women are going through “that time of the month” at any given time and throughout all of human history. Many of them are in positions of power, over anything from children to nations.

There have been no vast destructions. There are no roving gangs of bleeding women that, having gone feral for the month, make all the world into a low-key zombie apocalypse movie. There’s no myths of period-having women haunting the night and hunting the blood of innocents the way there are of werewolves. Young men do not avoid going out alone at night lest they be attacked by a woman on her period.

This “a woman president would destroy the world by having access to The Button at that time of the month” presupposes that every menstruating woman in the goddamn world is deliberately curbing her own destructive nature because we’re all holding out for one of us to get her hands on the button.
