Today, at work, I had to explain to my co-manager at work what a period was, after he refused to let an employee go change her tampon. Afterwards, he panicked, saying he thought women made that up so they didn't have to have sex, before trying to send her to the hospital and fainting. We're 24. FML

I'm just speechless. How is this possible for a grown-up man in his twenties?

Let me guess...is this that guy that wears the tie behind the McDonald's counter, thinking that makes him important? I'm sorry you have to work for such an idiot.

I'm just wondering who he has been having sex with. A transgender possibly who doesn't get a period? That's the only way he would be that naive about a period. For ***** sake every TV show talks about one even if you don't watch the commercials.

No, its not. He could be having sex with someone on birth control (some forms stop your period entirely), who has polycystic ovarian syndrome, had a hysterectomy, is suffering from an eating disorder or is under lots of stress and therefore, doesn't menstruate or someone like myself who at 25, is already in menopause due to medical problems. He could also not be having sex at all.

He could also have not been with his partners for long enough for them to have their period, or, because he's such a jerk, just assumed they were "making excuses" all the time.

Many forms of birth control stop periods. I'm on a form now which has pretty much stopped them. Plus other reasons as stated by #177. Also it can depend on the kind of sanitary product used. For example, Softcups (like a disposable Mooncup) can be worn for up to eight hours, are worn high enough that they collect all the menstrual blood, and you can have perfectly normal penetrative sex while wearing them, without any mess. You can also go swimming, do sports as normal, they're pretty cool. They don't get rid of the crippling stomach pains which are the main reason for not having sex on your period in my experience though.

I tried those moon cups like 15 years ago and while they did work, they weren't very comfortable at that time so I just went back to tampons. Also easier to get out. Tried birth control also a long time ago and decided I would rather go the condom route since all the side effects and the fact that it wasn't working the way it should have wasn't what I wanted to deal with. As for the Menopause #117 I am sorry you are going through that.

It's pretty possible that OP's co-worker doesn't watch tv and therefore couldn't catch up on periods there either.

Mitt Romney? I don't get the joke you've trying to make here. Maybe Todd Akin? He displayed a pretty extreme ignorance of the female reproductive system. I can't think of a time that Mitt Romney has done that.

Not Mitt Romney. From his knowledge of Health Care the co-worker is Obama.

Wait...we actually have periods? I thought the monthly bleeding from my ****** meant I was dying, no wonder the doctors at my hospital laugh at me everytime I try to tell them blood is just leaking out of my body!

I second #19. If this guy doesn't get books on the female reproductive system/boxes of tampons for every secret Santa gift for as long as he works there I will be very disappointed! Lol PS Being utterly clueless and ignorant has been a requirement for management in some places I've worked :

Did you guys show him?? Why else would he faint and send her to the hospital if he's so convinced it's a lie? :o

That's a hilarious image. She just whipped it out, right in front of him. Blood and all. *See. See!!! we do bleed!!!!*

Imagine how he would've reacted if she'd continuously been denied bathroom access and then surprised him with a nicely blood-soaked office chair or puddle of blood on the floor. Would he have just died on the spot?
