So as a menstruating person, I was wondering if there are any pagan practices or beliefs around it and how to honor my body. I’ve hated being a woman for too long. I’m kinda tired of dealing with it with a sense of hate and disgust
so any tips or tricks and anything that you guys do that I could research? I love learning from my community <3

I just found out that if you’re craving fish/sea food and you’re a woman there might be a chance you’re about to get your period.

There’s something that doesn’t feel right about this post but I’m having a hard time putting it into words, I think for some people this kind of statement can ring true, but I don’t think saying that “periods do more harm than good” applies to everyone, I have a lot more to say on this subject…
I know I shouldn't be putting my two cents on a post from twitter since it's where most brain dead takes spark aflame, but this one bothered me quite a bit and I couldn't figure out why, but when something bothers me, I keep picking at it like a scab until it bleeds again and I figure out where I got the scab in the first place. Saying a statement that periods are causing harm makes people feel like there is something wrong with themselves and in a society thats already violently hateful towards women and femme bodies and any traits associated with those bodies, this doesn't help. I'm not here to romanticize having a period and because I know there's a lot of people with serious medical issues in which getting your uterus removed is totally valid and totally necessary depending on your choice/situation. But I want to acknowledge that in our capitalist society were always in a rush, things need to get done fast, hustle hustle hustle, and having a period (one that is not painful or along side other health issues) forces those to slow down, rest, and be in tune with our body, even if we don't want too, which is the complete opposite. Our current society is built around a cisgender males body which runs on a 24 hr cycle where as people who menstruate have different phases (follicular, luteal and ovulation) and run on a monthly cycle, which is deemed inconvenient and not efficient. I know of a lot people who mention that having a period has been a good indicator for their health and hormones, a reply under this tweet mentioned how this was a privileged take and that people who menstruate can't even have access to period products in developing countries, another said "now what?" Exactly, now what? Even if that statement was true, what are we supposed to do? A lot of women face mistreatment in healthcare, a lot of women are facing poverty and are not even able to afford healthcare, and if periods were causing us harm then we would all probably be lining up to get hysterectomies instead of buying period products that aren't even FDA regulated. Period pain has been used against us and weaponized against us in order to further dismiss pain that is associated with being a women/femme. This kind of statement, while it may ring true for some people, further teaches people to hate a natural occurring function of their bodies and further upholds this hateful misogynist society we live in.
Another side to note, the replies to this tweet are mostly people talking about their experiences of either getting a surgery or birth control, and never having to deal with their periods again which is great for them and I’m genuinely happy for them, and I’m glad I live in a era where people with periods have access to healthcare that gives them a better quality of life, but with all the good experiences, they are also agreeing with the original statement which in my opinion lacks empathy and compassion for those still having painful periods and are further re-enforcing this hate towards something naturally occurring for majority of the population, and even animals!
I’m not sure why I felt compelled to write this much about this topic, maybe its coming from a place of anger or maybe it’s the fact I’m a women who has done so much work on their body issues and also currently on my period (hehe! 🤗) but it’s been really frustrating to see women promote hating themselves just because their bodies don’t naturally function within a society that hasn’t considered them in the first place.

I'm simultaneously hot and cold, I want a hug while being left alone. I'm hungry, nauseous, and most definitely want to bury myself in a cozy nest once I've ripped my skin off. Every vomit is a burp and every fart is a shit. Im giggly and sad and most importantly, I'm dying from something that won't kill me. What the fuck even is being a woman.

This is gonna be super TMI but I need to know if this happens to everyone else-
I thought my period was easing off somewhat, but no, I don’t know how it gets me every time- about halfway through, it always has a day where it’s so light I’m like ‘oh, must be over soon’ and actually, no- it’s ramping up for a boss battle in which it pulls a Carrie on me.

@ all my fellow Radfems, I need to know what's the stupidest misconception about the female body you've ever encountered? Cause I've got three off the top of my head and I want to hear yours.
1. I knew a guy in highschool who genuinely didn't know that the vagina is not connected to the digestive system. I had to explain to him that women do not defecate through our vaginas.
2. "If periods hurt so much, why do women keep having them?" Presented as a gotcha phrase. Dude seriously thought women chose to menstruate. Refused to believe me when I explained that it was an involuntary bodily function like breathing, sweating, or urinating.
3. This one was sad more than it was annoying, because the dudes heart was in the right place. Some jackass was saying that women who use tampons aren't virgins anymore because they break their own hymens inserting tampons. Myself and another girl were arguing against him and our male friend pipes up "it's not even the same hole dummy" like 😑 yes it is. Again, heart in the right place but wrong execution.
Please let me know yours, I am very nosy and I'm making a list.

Natural Relief: Home Remedies for Menstrual Cramps
Menstrual cramps, or dysmenorrhea, are painful sensations experienced during menstruation. They occur due to uterine contractions as the body sheds the uterine lining. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, often accompanied by bloating, headaches, and mood swings.
Here are some effective home remedies for alleviating menstrual cramps:
1. Heat Therapy: Apply a heating pad or hot water bottle to your lower abdomen. It helps relax the muscles and can reduce pain.
2. Herbal Teas: Drink chamomile, ginger, or peppermint tea. These herbs have anti-inflammatory properties and can help soothe cramps.
3. Essential Oils: Use essential oils like lavender or clary sage. Dilute them in a carrier oil and gently massage them into the abdomen for relief.
4. Dietary Changes: Have foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids (like salmon and flaxseeds), fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to help reduce inflammation.
5. Light Exercise: Light exercises like walking or yoga are an effective way to manage cramps. Physical activity releases endorphins, which can act as natural painkillers.
6. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help reduce bloating and improve overall comfort during your period.
7. Warm Bath: Take a warm bath to relax your muscles, which provides relief from cramping.
8. Acupressure: Applying pressure to specific points on your body, such as the lower abdomen or the space between your thumb and index finger, may help alleviate pain.
9. Ginger: Consume ginger tea or add ginger to your meals. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce cramps.
10. Relaxation Techniques: Practice deep breathing, meditation, or mindfulness to manage stress and pain perception.
These remedies can be effective, but it's essential to consult a healthcare professional if cramps are severe or persistent.

Oh my gosh you poor soul, period at 9?? I didn't get mine until 14/15 and I can't imagine the scream I would've scrumpt if that had hit me at 9.
I didn't scream but I was convinced I was going to die because of some terminal illness. I remember going to my mother and telling her in the most sorrowful vice that I was going to die because I was bleeding somewhere internally.
Only to be met with the: "You are a woman now! I am so proud!" speech because apparently she had already found blood in my underwear before but didn't feel me.
Sex Ed. is important, kids.
