Hello @chaodietas
I really liked your post, in my opinion it is a reading that every man should also read, it caught my attention while reading this sentence:
At the work area, the physical environment is not designed for women with dysmenorrhea. Regardless of the area of work women work in, sitting for long hours pressing on their lower abdomen or standing for long periods straining all the muscles around the hips and thighs is a challenge that breaks the will of any human being.
Truth be told, women are not of this world, with all those symptoms and pains they continue to win and lead more and more spaces, I enjoyed reading you, it is a current issue that is sometimes overlooked.
Best regards.
This is true my dear friend, however sometimes this becomes a weakness as we try to endure physical (and emotional) pain and we adapt to it and neglect to look for the cause and resolution of these physical conditions. Today with the advancement of medicine many of the causes of menstrual pain have resolution however we must fight with access to public health care to receive timely care.
Although it may seem contradictory, I have sometimes seen more empathy in the male gender than in the female gender. Perhaps it could be that their tolerance for physical pain is low, since with the flu they are sometimes so helpless and desire be consent 😆.
But returning to the subject of empathy, I have seen women gynecologists or obstetricians tell their patients not to complain when they have a Pap smear, a transvaginal ultrasound or give birth. They allude to the phrase "it doesn't hurt"...so I think it is about breaking that gap of those women who think they are rude (and demand that rudeness to others) and accept some of our physical limitations, especially seek medical help if it is about preserving our well being.
I thank you so much for your visit and your kind words. Blessings to you too!
