According to Doctors: Period pain = Heart attack pain.
According to society: Period pain = Just keep going on about your day.
Let that sink in. Comedian points out something that our culture so often ignores: Having your period isn’t just uncomfortable — it can be excruciating. Women, of course, know this deeply, but for generations, we’ve been taught to endure it quietly.
And when she says: “If you saw a man bleeding uncontrollably and having a four-day-long heart attack, you wouldn’t be like ‘Don’t let that stop you!’” And that line is SO funny because it’s so painfully true.
Men would never tolerate the kind of pain that women are expected to push through. If men had period cramps, there would be every solution under the sun—and a starter pack to stop the pain before it even started too.
Shameless plug here, but that’s exactly why Wave Bye exists: To build the solutions women should have had all along.
