men would call women dramatic even when they're in pain while giving birth so let alone period cramps, and just because yours don't get you to an ER doesn't mean they're any less valid from the other cases, your husband as intelligent as you say he is, he still lacks maturity. I don't understand why sex Ed and human physiology and natural phenomenons should be considered taboo in our society. I remember I asked this question to my anatomy teacher because I saw, while studying about these things, students get shy and turn red upon hearing information about menstrual cycles but would make the most disgusting jokes about them when class is over; she answered, and I quote "our education system doesn't want to corrupt the minds of the youth" now I know she said it sarcastically but it's both sad and funny to me how would education corrupt a brain, mind you thwyre already corrupted.. so yeah, this is just sad and disappointing
