One of the biggest ailments these days is whatabout-ism

Someone talks about A - but what about B

Someone talks about B - but what about C

Followed by hatred, canceling the person and general trolling.
I'm very curious about who all these gatekeepers are:

1. To decide every topic of what we should talk about

2. To decide how much to care about a particular topic

3. To jump to assumptions that we speak about one topic means we exclude every other topic we care about.
There are so many things that happen every single day, it is impossible for one person to keep a track of every single thing. If you can do it, well and good. Don't assume everyone else knows what you are talking about.
I have seen zero problems solved by whatabout-isms. ZERO. It achieves nothing, frustrates everyone involved and the issue you are concerned about is forgotten.

Let's talk menstrual cups and periods. Ask me whatever questions you have and I'll do my best to answer.

I have been using a cup since June 2020 and it has literally freed me. I use a Sirona Small. I've answered some really common questions below.
1. The best way to find your size is a finger test. You will need to insert a finger in your vagina and then find your size. This video will help you:

2. Don't go by the descriptions on the menstrual cup website. Your age has nothing to do with your cervix size. Your size can't be changed unless you give birth. So, you have to measure it. Make sure to measure it when you are close to your period.

Note to self
Things to keep in mind when u r helping a Dhaba wala get back on his feet #Thread
1. If you're asking for donations from the people DO NOT TAKE IT INTO YOUR OWN ACCOUNT. Give direct details. You are not a registered NGO. How are you going to explain it to IT dept?
2. Don't give your wife's / friend's / anybody else's account either. Of course, unless your ultimate plan is to fool the IT dept and keep all the money to yourself.
3. Have clear communication with the person you are trying to help. In the end, even if you have not scammed them but they feel scammed, what was the whole point?
