Why doesn’t God love women?

We like to believe that discrimination against women is a man -made concept but it’s not. God discriminates against women as well. If not then how do you explain periods?

Periods are the worst thing to happen to a women. Life comes to a stand-still during “those four days” . The whole concept of not entering the kitchen or the place of worship was only made to give women 4 good days of rest. It’s sad that gradually the whole thing went down the road and all that remained was restraining women in a dingy unhygienic room. Otherwise all a women want is to be left in a room with food and attached washroom during those days. Here, I answered the question all men on earth, are looking answers for .
Well, we also want to stop having periods but you know, you can’t make small humans then and also will not get your daily dose of tons of hormone which prevent you from getting crazy and quite conveniently are produced by your uterus.

Anyway, recently I bought a menstrual cup in a desperate attempt to find an alternative to the money-sucking, non-adhesive, stinking, environment- harming, rash-causing, clothing-spoiling sanitary napkins. I was very pleased reading the reviews and with myself for making the decision.

For the first time in my life I was looking forward to my periods. When they arrived I did my happy dance , opened the box, read the instruction like a lioness preparing for kill, went inside the washroom and after 30 minutes of failed attempts and scrubbing the skin off my hands due to repetitive hand-washes, came out of the washroom with the napkin on.

Don’t judge me just now, I am no quitter. I thought I need some more researching to do. I spent the whole day, looking for videos explaining how they go in, because the written instructions were not proving to be of any help. By the grace of internet, I came across one while scrolling through reels on Instagram. The next day I tried again, and pop, I heard the sound, it went in perfectly. I may have been the happiest women on Earth, that very moment. I waited for an hour to check if it’s working fine and yes, it was. All clean panties, no smell, no rashes on bum, no gluey sticky feeling every-time I sat , no need to be chemist pouring liquids to get the stain off the clothes.

You must be wondering then why do I think God hate us? Because the cups do get filled like in 4 hours , without you realizing and then you have to take them out with your hands going all the way in, clean them with water and then sterilize them ( don’t even get me started on it) and put them back again. And you won’t be lucky twice. No matter how well I tried to put it, it leaked every time spoiling my clothes. And I had to deal with all this while braving the cramps. After getting all my panties spoilt in the cold winter morning I switched to napkin and swore not to try again.
