"If Men Could Menstruate"

I do not know about anyone else, but I found this piece by Gloria Steinem to be hilarious.  It is so true also.  My favorite quote from this story is, "Men would brag about how long and how much... I'm a three pad guy."  I read this to my boyfriend and he just looked at me and smiled and told me how true that is.  I have noticed in my past boyfriends, step-father, and male friends, that they turn into big whiney babies when they have the faintest ailment.  And honestly I would love to see a male menstruate every month for 7 days.  Even if they only did it once a month for 6th months, then they would understand the moods, soreness, pain, bloatedness, etc, that comes with menstruation.  It also made me laugh that pads and tampons were said to represent more manly things like John Wayne.  This made me think of "The Blue Collar Comedy Tour" when Larry the Cable Guy talks about if menstrual products ran NASCAR.  I loved this piece and I personally think that everyone should read it.
