i just want to know why christina aguilera unexpectedly getting her period during a performance is being called “disgusting” “gross” and “embarrassing” by media outlets. 

menstruation makes people - specifically men - extremely uncomfortable, because we will never quite understand it no matter how many times sex ed explains to us what it is. i’m definitely guilty of it too. so while i understand that biology happens, the thought if this makes me uneasy. and i like to think of myself as a generally empathetic person.
