Let’s be honest, guys…
Talking about menstruation can feel like walking into a conversation you’re not sure you’re allowed in. But here’s the truth: you are allowed. In fact, you’re needed.
Menstruation isn’t just “a girl thing” it’s a human thing. And when guys speak up, ask questions, and support the people around them, everybody wins.
Let’s break it down, one myth at a time.
🤐 Why the Silence?
- It wasn’t taught in school properly. Remember health class? Exactly.
- It feels like “girl business.” But if it affects half the population, how is it not everyone’s business?
- You’re scared of saying the wrong thing. That’s fair—but silence isn’t safer. Understanding is.
💡 Why Should You Talk About It?
- To End the Stigma When boys joke about menstruation or treat it like a mystery, it adds shame to something natural. Your voice can flip that script.
- To Show You Care A simple “Are you okay?” or “Do you need anything?” can go a long way. It tells your sister, friend, or girlfriend: I’ve got your back.
- To Be That Guy The mature one. The thoughtful one. The one who isn’t afraid of pads, cramps, or hard convos.
🗣️ What Does Talking About It Look Like?
- You ask your sister if she’s feeling okay when she looks uncomfortable.
- You’re not weirded out when your friend asks to borrow a hoodie because of a “stain situation.”
- You mention to your school’s leadership team that bathrooms should have period products.
- You respectfully correct someone making dumb jokes like “Ew, she’s on her thing.”
🧠 It’s Not About Being a “Hero.” It’s About Being Human.
You’re not expected to know everything. But learning, listening, and being open? That’s next-level maturity.
The world needs boys who normalize care, who reject shame, and who aren’t afraid to say, “Hey, menstruation isn’t taboo. It’s just biology.”
🔥 Real Men Break the Silence
Start small. Start chill. But start.
Because when boys talk, girls feel safer—and the world gets way more respectful.
