warning: there would be a few things which could offend boys. well, full offense.
but seriously, it was about menstrual period.
last week, i got my monthly period. this is pretty important, since my period isn't that periodic. it could be 3-6 months before i finally get it. that's why i was a bit surprised, yet happy when i got it. well, that happiness didn't last that long, though. why? because it pained.
while the pain was inflicting, growing inside me, it seemed like people around me decided that it was the best time to piss the hell out of me. well, i thought i could handle it pretty well, though. maybe a few biting remarks in twitter, but no real harm done in reality world. i still could handle my thoughts, although there were so many times i just wanted to yell and beat the crap out of those people.
one thing i remarked during those painful moment: i got super feminist.
well, how could i not? the pain was too much. and on the first day, my blood kept flowing like i was an opened sewer. there was no way i could take a picture of it and show it here, although i thought maybe it was a good idea since there were so many of them. the blood, i mean.
it was just insulting to think that boys were stronger than women there. yeah, there are indeed more male soldiers than female soldiers in the field of war. yeah, the scenery of being shot there was bloody and gruesome. but tell me then, which one would freak you more: seeing a bloody arm or a bloody penis?
aren't you guys being circumcised? well, i never saw the process of cutting the penis, but there should be blood, right? now, why don't you imagine those blood kept running, for days, even a week. and it happens every month, since you were teenager, until your hair becomes gray. the only time while you didn't get it is because: 1. you are unhealthy(like me) or 2. your stomach is getting bigger and 9 months later, you pushed out a 3-5 kg things from you little sexual hole.
talk about fair.
funnily, it wasn't the guys who pissed me off. it was the girls. you know, girls who kept telling other girls that girls are weak and boys are strong. girls who told other girls that they pitied you, because you were a girl and not a boy. girls who told other girls that they were worried for you were just (and emphasized on the word 'just') a girl. girls who told other girls that because you were just (once again, the word 'just') a girl, you were weak.
girls who told other girls that girls were meant to be picked (this was literally her exact words, but it was in indonesian).
girls who said all those crap, and said it only, because of one man. a man, who is really peculiar to me.
flamingo.
