There are plenty of sympathetic men who do their best to put themselves in the shoes of the ladies in their lives, and who would never, ever trivialize the pain a woman feels once a month, every month, for decades.
And that’s not even mentioning childbirth.
Even less “woke” men are aware that dismissing period pain is off-limits – at least, if you want to stay in your wife or girlfriend’s good graces – which means it takes a special kind of insensitivity to try to convince all of Twitter that your skinned knees are as bad as the cramps your monthly visitor brings along in her suitcase.
But that’s exactly what @_sargee tweeted, accompanied by a soccer player (presumably not him) sliding on his knees on turf..
Until women experience this, I don’t wanna hear about period pains. pic.twitter.com/8Bgr7Ivyy6

He had to know what he was in for, right? And he was looking to ruffle feathers or start a fight?
That’s my story, because I just don’t see how anyone could be this un-ironically obtuse.
Also…women athletes experience skinned knees all the time? And so does every child who plays outside in the summer?
This is…. nothing? Like you think turf burn is bad? Oh my sweet summer child.

Sorry not sorry.
I was 8 when I got my first turf burn on my knee. 20 yrs later, I still bear the scar. In HS I got a spike in my back. I've broken my thumb, gotten burned, and more. Yet NONE of those compared to my cramps from periods, which has made me pass out before. Sorry you're a wimp

It wasn’t just women blasting him, either.
LMAO. "I don't want to hear any woman talk about period pain. This professional athlete skinned his kmees"

Yeah, something like that.
if men think skinned knees hurt that bad they should experience idk something like a skinned internal organ ripped out every single month all the bleeding and cramps and groin pain

Sarcasm warranted.
Also, periods feel like being stabbed with a knife in the gut, since one of our organs is literally killing itself for a week as we go into a mild form of labor. But sure. Scraped knees are worse.

An undisputed fact.
Mild form of labor is a pretty good description. Real labor is white hot, searing pain as a woman is literally ripped apart from the inside out. The hip bones spread slowly over the course of hours, the vaginal canal stretched to its ripping point. Men couldn’t handle real labor.

And we can just leave this last little observation right here.
Her knees. I the picture on the right is from a woman.

Please tweet responsibly, my friends. You don’t want to find yourself in the crosshairs.
