i managed to find a silver lining"
Well, at least there's that.

also has anyone noticed periods are so taboo, but PMS is not?
because being a woman is so heavily associated with being in a bad mood

i find it very hard to believe you are a real person"
Um, well I do have my real picture as my avatar picture for my Discord so.

Why do you need to apologize? there's no reason for that.
Yeah, I've noticed that. Hard not too when it's shown in movies and stuff.

Totally. And taxes on menstrual products are just…
DO they think it's a luxury product or something?
that's the Pink Tax.

"
Of course they didn't. We don't even have a good sex ed class over here.
Also, I don't think any sex ed class teaches about menstruation. Or do they somewhere?

you are a male college student in india
how do you do it?"
Do what?

the american education system likes to pretend it doesnt exist, and i come from the most liberal state in the country
i just moved to a very conservative one and they dont even have sex ed, and abortion is banned smh

I'm glad us tech nerds crashed that fucking website where you could report people.

she thinks we're banning the word woman or something lol"
Ah ok.
Yeah ahaha.

i gave up after the first 10 chapters"
I mean, I think it depends on the person who's reading it. I mean it depends on how old they are I think.

And my mother doesn't like to take painkillers, even though she's in a lot of pain when she menstruates. She'll say "it'll just go away". *sigh*

And in my world, the people on the street don't know my name
In my world, I'm seven feet tall
And the boys always call, and the girls do too
Because in my world, I'm constantly, constantly havin' a breakthrough (Hmm)
Or a breakdown, or a blackout
Would you make out with me underneath the shelter of the balcony?
'Cause I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone
I just need everyone and then some
I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone
I just need everyone and then some
Wish I could see what it's like to be the blood in my veins
Do the insides of all of my fingers still look the same?
And can you feel it too when I am touchin' you?
And when my hair stands on ends, it's saluting you
The blush in your cheeks says that you bleed like me
And the 808 beat sends your heart to your feet

Also… never mind. I'll keep that thought to myself.

But I do like you haha. You are cool!

but you know what's also funny?
my crippling self-doubt and anxiety 😎😭💀
oh and to top it all off, parents who dont think mental health is even a thing

Yes, I can relate to those things. Meh, Indian parents and caring about mental health? forget it.
