I think my mom is kinda weird...
I just suggested to my mom that maybe I should start using menstrual cups. I have really bad period cramps and I read online that it could help. Then she started spouting bullshit about how I haven't even had a kid yet, that it would basically be like masturbating, that I was still unmarried with no boyfriend, etc. etc. She also compared pulling out a menstrual cup to giving birth like wtf... And when I said I didn't want to have kids anyway she screamed at me that I should just cut out my uterus then (I do plan to have a hysterectomy when I can tho lol). Anyways is anybody else's parents like this??? For reference my family is Chinese and Christian-ish so maybe purity culture shit. ╥﹏╥
Weird shit to say but it's because she's misinformed. There's a weird narrative around tampons or menstrual cups in asian communities. Talk to her calmly if you can (doesn't seem like she's the type to stay calm tho after I read this). Go ahead and buy a menstrual cup anyway, who's stopping you? 1 reply
