Why are you being deliberately obtuse about this? Sure, it's bad to assume and generalize, but it seems a pretty logical assumption that women are more qualified for commiseration about menstruation than men.

I just don't see the link in "has a period = more sympathetic".

I don't think it should be that hard for people to explain their reasoning behind it, if it's such a logical assumption to make.

Experiencing something personally gives one a better understanding of it? Talking to a man about periods is like talking to a virgin about sex. Sure, they can nod along, but the empathy and depth of understanding isn't there.

NA I've certainly got a lot of empathy and depth of understanding from males towards bio-female stuff, boyfriends, casual friends and professionals.

That's why I prefer male gynecologists over female. The male gyns I've met treat me like an individual, but the female ones have without exception treated me like a run-of-the-mill piece of meat. That covers explaining procedures and pre-warnings, pain medication and general humanity. My female gyns have been rough, unsympathetic and rolling their eyes if I dared ask about stuff they obviously thought every woman should have known already. Or maybe I have a female gyn-provoking pussy, what do I know.

Aw man, that really sucks. I've had two female gyns. They are/were both really great. Never had a male one though.

DA Except I've found the opposite, that many women assume that their version of what a period is like is the only version, and if yours is different you're obviously lying. Unable to get out of bed for two days because of the pain and puking? Woman up! Stop being a whiner! No cramps at all? Oh stop trying to impress me here I know that's a lie!

DA
I've never had that happen ever. Stop befriending shitty people, anon.

I haven't seen it happen with that particular thing, but I've definitely seen too much of that "MY EXPERIENCE IS EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCE" crap from people. It is very annoying.
