If Men Could Menstruate
Intersectionality
The message I got from the article was that men are prone to boast show off their masculinity and use it as a weapon against women.
My reaction is simply, "Steinem, you nailed it. This is exactly what I think would happen if men evolved to have periods."
Men would definitely brag about longer periods because it would make them appear tougher due to the pain of menstrual cramps. There would definitely be "Chuck Norris Tampons" or "Sylvester Stallone Pads." If men could menstruate, it would turn into a weapon we used against women who try to do things that are typically considered masculine like enlisting in the military or holding public office. Period blood would become synonymous with the strength of men who are able to fight on while bleeding.
Needless to say, I agree with Steinem's view of how men are prone to boast about their perceived masculinity because I have seen many instances on social media and in real life when a man tries to show off about how bad ass he thinks he is.
I know not every man in the world is like this but still there are some people who flaunt their masculinity in very annoying ways.
