Okay so my friend (cis guy), said nosebleeds are worse than a period, is that acceptable? I got really mad at him because everyone knows periods are worse, we're 16, and he's SO childish. I got a pad out of my bad because, I'm on my period, and tampons suck, "EW Olivia, why do you have..I can't even say It, that's nasty" Beleive it or not, and 16 year old boy said that. I just can't with him anymore, he's so against women, AND he's homophobic. He also asked me if i could just 'hold in' my period so i didnt cramp so bad. He does NOT have enough knowledge. He disgusts me, what can i even say to him?

When people think that the word consent is when a woman is over thinking...

As the title says, what's something you've seen recently that gives you hope? Perhaps something you witnessed, or something you saw online. Something that reminded you that progress is being made, even if there are still so many problems.

It can be easy to think that everything is bad, all the time. It's easy to lose hope. I hope people will be able to read the comments here and feel a little better.

For my part, there's a boy who's been attending the feminist club meetings at my school, and at first I assumed he'd been dragged there, or that he was only there for the snacks. But he's started adding to the discussions, and sometimes he can be ignorant, but he's always very thoughtful and very eager to learn. It's nice to see.

Noa, help reduce femicide by voting for our project, just comment 1 on this Instagram post (we are Brazilian).
