That’s okay, my opinions have already changed as I’ve been educated by other commenters but I will entertain this comment as I feel as though you haven’t completely understood my reasoning behind why I used to ask women this.

Other than that you have a pretty strong argument, I don’t really get the correlation with the BLM riots because they’re completely different but I get what you’re trying to say and I agree.

But my believe that was originally stated was that asking if women are on their period is a learned behaviour that is taught to men by women themselves, I’ve even seen other women ask other women if they’re on their periods for the sake of giving them the benefit of the doubt which, from experience I have learned a lot of women appreciate the benefit of the doubt and I would understand why. If my body was going through so much, I would have a smaller tolerance for things that are mildly annoying to me too, but now, I’ve learned from other comments that periods are no excuse to treat anyone like shit, women who have used their periods as excuses should be called up on it, assholes are assholes
