Fun fact: we already came up with a VERY effective treatment for period cramps etc but they found out the drug had more uses and could only choose to perfect it for one of those. So they dropped finishing off the drugs for the other purpose.. what did the drug become? Viagra
if periods happened to cis men we would have already found a way to get rid of them. send tweet
