Just get pregnant every month and get an abortion. Of course, keep the fetuses for the fetus room

I know that’s a joke, but seriously, getting an abortion or having a miscarriage hurts like hell and isn’t a good alternative.

Birth control can be a lot better, but most of what modern science can do is just trick the body into thinking it’s pregnant when it’s not with hormones or copper (which makes it toxic for sperm and eggs). So it’s not going to fix everything and there are many possible side effects that can be quite frustrating to deal with.

Popping the baby zit is way more painful than the 9 stabbings.

I haven’t experienced either of these, but I’m fairly certain that period pain is less intense than being literally stabbed with a knife.

I literally become physically incapacitated, puking in pain (usually the first day being the worst and have landed me in the hospital on several occasions), without hormonal birth control to help. You wanna try that then get stabbed and tell me which is worse?

I’m not saying all stab wounds are worse than all periods. I sliced my finger with a pocket knife once and am fairly confident it was not as bad as period pain. But in general, the average pain and seriousness of being stabbed with a knife is going to be greater than the average pain and seriousness of having your period. The simple fact that while having your period is almost never fatal (and usually limited to societies with poor sanitization combined with “menstrual hut” practices), compared to stab wounds which are about 10-15% fatal, supports this.

I mean maybe, but there’s also all the blood loss

Ooor, stay on birth control for years, and hope you luck out and get fibroid that allows you to get a hysterectomy.

Wait, you can’t just ask for one?

You can, but I’m American. So with America’s crummy private health care system, many insurance companies here won’t pay for an elective hysterectomy. You need a good medical reason for it. And sometimes that means something like a fibroid alone isn’t enough. It has to be a certain size, causing pain, etc.

Some states require spousal consent and some doctors will try to talk you out of it altogether.

For the other men that see this: The stabbing is the pain of cramps. Had to ask my wife on this, as I wasnt sure what was meant.

I’m a woman and I also didn’t get it. It’s different for everyone I guess.
