Gloria Steinem's passage "If Men Could Menstruate" was very comical. I read this and could not take anything she said seriously. It's kinda funny that this passage is from 1978 because if someone else was asked to write a passage like hers people would probably say similar things. I laughed when she said "Men would brag about how long and how much", this is true considering they do this already. It's just really funny to think about. I honestly do not think that men could handle menstruating, I feel like all they would do is complain and whine the whole time, to us women. And when they are around their friends they would talk about their 'problems' (just like we do). Another thing I laughed at was the whole "Street guys would brag or answer a praise from a buddy by giving high fives and saying 'Yeah, man I'm on the rag!'"
I just found this passage very entertaining. And it kinda nice to see men get made fun of and cut down in our book for once.
I thought this article was funny too. My friends and I always are discussing what would happen if guys had to go through all we do. We decided that they would probably complain even more than us women do, so we are really the tougher ones in this.
