Internet Jerk Angers Women By Claiming Scraped Knees Are Worse Than Period Pains, Gets Destroyed For It

Got a uterus? Over the age of twelve? Congrats, you probably experience (*cough* suffer from *cough*) periods.

Don’t let that little red blob of goo fool you. There ain’t no smiley faces when it comes to “having the painters in” once every twenty-eight days. Different women experience different symptoms before, during or after their period (dependent upon how generously the Gods blessed you, we don’t understand how it works to be honest) most women have experienced period pain at some point in their life.

Some of us have only very minor cramps whilst others have pain that has been proven to be worse than the pain experienced during a heart attack. And people wonder why women aren’t rays of heckin’ sunshine during that blessed week??

However, periods come with some small blessings. For example, they’re a great excuse to eat as much chocolate as is humanly possible and to stay in bed all day snuggled around a hot water bottle.

Another unexpected joy of having a period (because honestly, joy rarely comes into that equation) is that when people publicly broadcast their ignorance on the subject there is a battalion of period-sufferers ready to take them down in the most hilarious way. Let unbridled impatience reign.

Go get ’em girls.

So here’s the offending article from Twitter user @_sargee. Who made the bold decision to tweet this bad boy…Now, this extraordinary observation would almost have been a flawless exhibition of wit had it not been for every single thing about it.

Let’s start with the most obvious issue with young Sarge’s claims; WOMEN HAVE KNEES. SOMETIMES THE KNEES GET SCRAPED. SOMETIMES, AND BEAR WITH US HERE, IT HAPPENS WHEN WE PLAY SPORT BECAUSE THAT’S A THING WE CAN DO. 

And it’s something we’re damn good at too!

Yeah, this girl definitely wouldn’t be able to handle scraping her knees. 

There’s also the slight problem that scraped knees don’t hurt half as much as most period pains?? We can speak with some authority on this subject because (as has been established) women sometimes scrape their knees.

Well said Katelyn. He knows nothing.

Ana raises a good point about the limited functionality of knees and the not-inconsiderable pain experienced in a little thing we call childbirth.

Unless he’s got some knee-birthing powers we’re yet to be made aware of we really think this should have been considered in the original post.

This absolute savage took absolutely zero prisoners. We love her, whoever she is.

“Sorry you’re a wimp.”

Not one survivor from that absolute burn.

Jess broke down the period dynamics in a truly *vivid* way… maybe the faint of heart should skip…

Visceral description there, Jess. But we thank you for your educational services.

The graphic descriptions only get worse… Take a look at this exchange (if you can handle it)…

And then THIS GEM made the whole stupid circus worth it…

This dude is trying to highlight men’s superior pain threshold by including an athlete’s injuries… and the image is of a female athlete.

Do you hear that? Gee, it sure does sound like patronizing slow clapping, doesn’t it?

Honestly, when will people learn? Drop the gender stereotypes. Girls do sport, they get cuts and bruises and they can do all of that before, during and after dealing with the (sometimes) intense pain of their reproductive organs going absolutely ballistic.

Ever scraped your knees? Do you happen to be a woman? We’re very suspicious of that so make sure to comment on this post to make your case! AAx
