holy shit
fuck world peace what i want is to magically instill every woman and girl on earth with the primary directive of "fight for yourself and your wellbeing & happiness as hard as you possibly can and never stop until you have peace within yourself"
i personally have only very rarely ever used tampons due to personal preference but I remember how friends used to tell me about how they felt it was making their cramps and overall period worse and i heard women talk about starting to use reusable cloth-pads and other alternatives and how much better it got for them - how their flow got weaker, their overall period got shorter and the pain was less
this is literally insane
Sedentary lifestyles and lack of muscle mass are debilitating killers for women. If you are not sick or disabled, until your 60s you should be able to (with PROPER FORM):
Do three sets of five push-ups.
At least three pull-ups.
Deadlift 135 lbs.
Hold most yoga poses that engage legs for at least 60 seconds.
Walk up a steep incline without breathing heavily.
Fireman carry 200 lbs for distance.
This is the bare minimum. This is I Spend Most of My Time Hunched Over a Keyboard. You'll notice jogging isn't on this list. That's because jogging ruins your joints.
if you start reading books again. you will feel at least a little better. I promise
Posting this again because basically this is my bible
