If It Bleeds For More Than Two Days And Lives…
Today I was discussing validation with a new friend.
I was talking with her about how people do not validate each other enough. And how they do not validate themselves. I got into how women tend to be viewed negatively and how they view themselves as bad. They view their bodies as bad. And how wrong this is. When had just reached the topic of menstruation and how it is NOT a bad thing (if it wasn’t natural, if your body was not meant to do it… guess what? It wouldn’t!) and this guy turned to us and said:
“My philosophy is this–if it bleeds for more than two days and lives, I don’t trust it.”
Needless to say, I bristle at this comment (when does something not get my blood flowing?). First, I think I must sum it all up with a retort later made by Jeff,
“You mean like Christ?”
Yup. We are going to burn in hell for that one.
Anyways, yes this upsets me! What does bleeding (Or more importantly, the natural process’ of the vagina and body) have to do with TRUST?! Nothing. And, hey, guess what, we all do bleed. It is just blood. It is just, oh, natural. When will people get off the loathing couch and start to love themselves?
Hey, women, I am very glad to say that your vagina does not make you bad. It also does not make you dirty. It actually is quite a beautiful thing, just as the penis is. Just as the thumb is. Just as the brain is. Just as humans, life, whatever, is! Do not hold yourself or anyone down for something that is wonderful!
In fact, run as fast and furious with it as you can.
