The parody over periods isn’t funny

Apparently, it’s been a surprising revelation for some people in my life. Well, no, who were previously in my life. I don’t take kindly to women-oriented issues of concern being ridiculed, and stood up for that recently. As a result I lost what I thought was a friend.

It stung at the time, but then I went back to the moment where ridicule over women not having access to female hygiene products became a joke to them and I wondered... if I was in that unfortunate position, how would I feel about someone making a joke out of it?
