::plunks down in the hut::

Hi! I'm new here, though I've been lurking for some time. I must say, before I saw this community, I thought of my period as kind of a petty nuisance, but after reading the insights here and reading Cunt by Inga Muscio, I'm taking a much more positive spin on the whole thing. Oddly, my cramps weren't as bad this month either. . .perhaps because I wasn't dreading them so much as I used to?

As I was thinking of all things menstruation-related today, I recalled an incident from when I was back in high school. My boyfriend at the time and I were wandering around after school, and I had to go to the bathroom. He'd never seen the girl's bathroom and was curious for some reason, so I said come on in, it's totally empty.

The first thing out of his mouth was, "Hey! You guys get little trash cans!"

I just looked at him and started laughing. Naturally he realized what they were for seconds after he said that. . .and he turned quite red.

I just love being female. :-)

Hehe...

One time I went on a vacation while I had my period. I was staying with a friend, and, being male, he didn't have trash cans in the bathroom. Or anywhere else that I could find. I ended up carrying the used pads around in a plastic bag until I could find somewhere to dispose of them.

Now I have my very own bathroom. I've been meaning to get a trash can for the past six months, and haven't got around to it yet. It really would be a smart thing to do.

I think that is hillarious! It never struck me that they wouldn't know that we had our "little trash cans" before... ha ha ha

Oh, I treasure that remark to this day. :-) Especially how he said it. . .it definitely held that "no fair!" tone to it, like he wanted little trash cans in his bathroom. :-D

I have had the same thing happen, My freind got nosy one day and walked into the girls bathroom after me and said HEY! you have rubbish bins!....... He never picked up on what they were for, but he also complained about us having a mirror hehe

Guys don't always get mirrors? That doesn't seem fair. No wonder they worry so much about leaving their fly down.
