What if men menstruate? What would it change?

Before moving on to the article we would like to remind you that we have launched a YouTube channel and that we would be very happy if you subscribed to watch our videos, you can click here–> YouTube Lifestyle

It is a mental exercise.Supposing a different world allows us to put “real reality” into perspective, like that beautiful poem by Jose Agustin Goytisolo where a good wolf is mistreated by the lambs, or there are beautiful witches, bad princes and honest pirates.

Imagining a world where men have the rule, instead of women, can be fun, but it can also be an indication that signals us the problems that women still face at the time of menstruation.

This is the opinion of a British NGO, WaterAid , which launched a signature campaign to achieve Menstrual Hygiene Day and raise awareness among the world population (especially men) of everyday difficulties that women It is they must save each month, in each menstrual cycle, and they would be very different if it were the men who had “those days.”

There are 6 points with which WaterAid explains this unlikely masculine reality.

1.Senal of masculinity menstrual bleeding

It would not be a taboo at all, they would presume in front of everyone that every month the rule comes to them.

2.The first rule would be celebrated

And in style, and in view of all, not like many feminine rituals, which were sneaking around.They would be welcomed to maturity and masculinity.

3.In sport it would be something very serious

Menstruating athletes would be studied, they would be accompanied and specialized trainers, teammates to face and understand the changes hormonal and coordinate the period before the big competitions.

4.There would be no euphemisms, it would be called a rule

Isn't it true that there are many allusive phrases? Those days of the month , the visit , the aunt , the female days

What if men menstruate? What would it change?

If the rule came to them , it would simply be called a rule.

5.Universal right: sanitary pads and towels

These articles would be subsidized by the Social Security of all countries, and would be sent in the aid packages humanitarian to countries at war, in the process of development or victims of natural disasters with food, water and medicines.Obviously, "no man should suffer the indignity of being deprived of the necessary hygienic support during menstruation."

6.Advertising advertising very different from tampons

We would no longer see blue liquids that fall into a sanitary napkin or a tampon to know if they are absorbent.They would be designed by great scientists.

It is an original advertising campaign for sensitization Tsar about feminine reality, and let you know that in the world millions of girls and women do not have access to water or hygienic items to help them.

If you want you can also sign the petition that will appear in screen, after seeing this commercial.
