It's been a couple of years, but I can't get this viral tweet out of my mind. It was from 2019, and it asked: "Women, what is the dumbest thing a man ever said to you about ... menstruation, etc.?"
I remember laughing so hard at the thousands of replies:
"My husband thought I had to take a tampon out to pee."
"Someone I was dating asked me if I could reschedule my period so it didn't coincide with his birthday."
And I remember feeling angry, too.
