My boyfriend at the time was feeling frisky.

Me: “Not this week. I’m on my period.”

Boyfriend: “Why can’t you just push out all the blood so we can get busy?”

Me: “…what?!”

Boyfriend: “Just bear down and push it out like you do when you pee. Women can do that.”

Me: “…no, we can’t. That’s not a thing.”

Boyfriend: “If you can do it when you pee, you can do it to get rid of your period. Women just use it as an excuse not to have sex!”

Me: “Wait… so all this time you thought we could just… push out the period? Have you been thinking that we like it so much that we just… DON’T DO THAT?!”
