Hi guys,

So I’ve used a menstrual cup for a while now - anyone that knows anything about cups knows that they need boiled before and after each period for sanitising.

I use my kitchen pans because I see no issue with it, period blood is not unsanitary and is no more gruesome than spit.

However my dad has had a hissy fit twice now for getting “my menses” on the pans (I wipe and clean prior to boiling and the process destroys all bacteria- that’s why I do it). I am extremely pissed off because I think he’s exercising an age old sexist myth and I am disappointed that my father figure should set the bar so low as a representation of the men I should surround myself with.

Don’t understand how people will happy eat the skin, fat and blood of an animal that lives on a farm with no hygiene, but can’t hack vaginas. Jesus Christ.

Needed a rant to some women in the same spot as I am. Please feel free to tell me why I’m in the right in comments
