I love that they aren't saddled with the weight of all the sexist expectations that I grew up with.

Even the weirdo upset about having a pad simply sitting on a desk and getting bent out of shape about it - I'm so glad they don't have to deal with those losers!

I love that they are living for themselves and embracing their bodies and not letting people tell them they are defective or gross or dirty for perfectly natural things. [/quote]

You're lumping it all into one thing and it's not. I love that girls are not hiding their pads and tampons and dont feel shamed about a perfectly natural thing. Period stains happen. They are normal. It's not normal to walk around with blood stains, though. Clean that shit up.

It's also not ok to walk around with pee stains or poop stains. All natural things.[/quote]
Why does it specifically bother you that girls don't care if some old PJs have period stains? How does it affect you? [/quote]

If I am raising a daughter of course it affects me. I am responsible for teaching her how to navigate the world. [/quote]
Are you raising OPs kid? How does someone elses child, wearing some old PJs with period stains, affect you? Be specific. [/quote]

I am. It sure why you are reducing Ops post to some old pjs with stains. OPs post was about about normalizing this. Making it normal to have blood stains on your clothes. No where does she say the stain was old, it could have been fresh blood. Nor does she say it was old pjs. But her point was about normalizing stains - not about pjs.[/quote]
You are raising OPs kid? Bizarre, I bet that's news to her!

And it is being normalized. Not by you, with your imaginary children, but by the children themselves. They don't GAF about your tired old sexist notions. And good for them. [/quote]

It's being normalized because they have morons like you for parents who failed to teach them basic hygiene. Nothing to be proud of. [/quote]
Stained PJs =/= bad hygiene.

Don't you know the difference? Yikes, feel bad for you and your kids. [/quote]

Likewise, I feel bad that you failed your daughter entirely by making her think it's ok to walk around in bloody clothing. [/quote]

A period stain is not bloody. No one is walking around in clothing with actual blood in it. People are sometimes wearing pajamas or underwear with faint stains from period leaks that happened in the past.

There is nothing unhygienic about wearing stained clothing, it's just unsightly. But that's not really relevant if you are just wearing it at home.[/quote]

OP NEVER said if it was fresh. For all we know it could have just happend. I guess I was unaware before just how many of you are total lazy slobs at home. This is why I refuse to eat at potluck events. [/quote]

If it's fresh, it's not a stain. If it's fresh, OP would have said the girl had period blood on her pajamas or period blood on her sheets. She said it was a stain.

Most of us are not confused about this. A stain indicates it's been laundered but that blood that *was* there left a stain behind. It's only a few of you I think who are either confused or seem to think stains are, themselves, dirty.

I don't host potlucks because I know how to host properly, but I am fine with you declining my invites, I don't think we'd get along at all.[/quote]

What do you call fresh period blood on clothing, genius?[/quote]

Blood.[/quote]

No, blood is called blood. How do you describe the visual effect of fresh period blood on clothing?[/quote]

Period blood is blood, it's just a different kind. I'd still call it blood.

If I saw fresh period blood on someone's clothes, I wouldn't say "you have a stain." I'd say "I think you are bleeding." The stain only comes later if the blood isn't removed promptly.

If someone spilled spaghetti sauce on their shirt, would you immediately say "you have a stain"? No, you would say, "you have some sauce on your shirt."[/quote]
So weird that this pp doesn't understand what a "stain" is. [/quote]
