From time to time, you will have one person – springing out of nowhere to dismiss women’s pain and struggles.
Like this guy who put a picture of his scraped knees and said that he doesn’t want to hear about period pain until women go through such injuries.
Until women experience this, I don’t wanna hear about period pains. pic.twitter.com/8Bgr7Ivyy6

Two points to make here:
1. How does he know how much period cramps hurt?
2. Why did he assume we have never got our knees scraped?
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

Anyhow, people on Twitter put him in place soon with sarcastic remarks and some biology lessons that he seems to have missed in school.
You do realize that every single match of the 2015 Women’s World Cup was played on artificial turf, right?

LMAO. “I don’t want to hear any woman talk about period pain. This professional athlete skinned his kmees”

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

After this post I just hope natural selection does its job and your genes stay in this generation.

I couldn't help but comment, I'm a man and what this person posted makes me sick, completely disjointed from reality, this is the ugly side of Internet freedom.

I don’t understand. Do you think women don’t play sports, or women are invulnerable? What’s the point you’re trying to make here? I know that you’re wrong, I just want to know how wrong.

It really sucks that every man suffers from this monthly without even having to play soccer. 🙁

Oh, there’s one more question I came across – from which knee is he going to give birth?
