Peg Kerr's Journal

I yell at the "Have a happy period!", too . . . Confuses my boyfriend, but he was at least raised by a woman who had no compunctions against telling him, "Girls get periods. They may or may not get bitchy once a month. Unless you're gay, you're going to have to deal with it pretty intimately for the next forty or fifty years. Get over it."

I also didn't like my pantiliners telling me to drink more water and get some exercise, because although both things could help with cramps, I'd rather not be lectured by disposable products.
