Buzzfeed is at it again with the
thirty-eighth
video they've made about having a period.
[Video] I'm on my period.
Do you period?
(the word period repeated and overlapped)
And at this point, I just think, guys, you maybe have well covered this topic.
What is it, by the way, that is so fascinating about periods to Buzzfeed?
[Hila] Well, it's like, it's like let's plays for them.
- It's like let's play- - They're gonna do, like, 200.
- That's a really good point, "Buzzfeed on periods, part 275".
This video is called "Man Sees His Girlfriend's Period Blood For The First Time",
and the comment thread throughout all these videos is kind of like,
"I'm a woman, and I have a period, and I'm not ashamed of it," which is good, and on one hand
I do recognize that it's fucked up that women have to buy
feminine hygiene products. Like that's just a cost that men don't have.
But on the other hand,
This is too far when you're walking around with like a dirty rag and being like, (shouts loudly) I'm a woman!
I have a period! I am empowered! and I must be respect!- It's like it's gro- It's gross
it's okay to be grossed out by period. But can you imagine me walking out of the bathroom with a
f-fat roll covered in shit and be like, I have pooped! I will not be ashamed, you will not silence me,
I'm a proud diarrhea boy!--(We Know)
"Diarrhea Boys, Unite Part 38"
Alright, let's watch this shit
- I'm here to show my boyfriend
what a bloody pad looks like
I've had my period for about 11 years, and that's roughly
2600 used menstrual products that I've had in my lifetime.
Steve has seen, maybe uhh (giggles)
six. If I did a good job of hiding them.-- Yeah, you should do a good job of hiding them. It's gross. It's a used
Bodily fluid product it's blood to like on top of that.-- Right, it's disgusting.- It's gross.
(Hila laughing) Yeah, you should do a good job of hiding it. I agree, like, again
I don't leave shitty toilet paper out (Sometimes) if I if Hila was-- I would be upset if you left it out, (both laugh)
I was gonna say, if Hila sees one dirty wipe of mine, then that's one too many.--
That's an argument. That's an argument incoming.-- My knowledge of women's
ovulation is pretty uhh, I would consider it average for men.- Whenever I'm in my period,
I definitely go in the other room.-- Good, good, go ya in the other room when you have your period.
Don't do it in the living room. That's not where I poop(Most of the time) well
Yeah, what does she even mean like do what -Yeah go in the bathroom and do that? What we'll see alternative, Buzzfeed?
Ethan: Every month women are forced to confine themselves to a prison cell otherwise known as
The Bathroom. This horrible practice has to stop!
And women need to be free to have their periods on the living-room floor where men poop.
Just say no to bathrooms !
A message brought to you by Buzzfeed.- In terms of the bloody side of things
I try to hide it from and most the time
I think it's just been ingrained in my system that it's an embarrassing thing to have your period. - They keep using this word hide
- Try to hide it from him most of the time. - I don't consider wiping my shitty toilet paper hiding like again
They're handing up this like shame thing. It's not hiding. It's gross! I will never hide my toilet paper, Hila! You look
Hila: Gross!
Ethan: I'm a proud diarrhea boy!(Hila: What?!) I share my toilet paper freely to empower me and those like me !
- I'm trying to think is like when you're young you do feel like "Ugh...period" and that's...
Like that's I can't talk about it to anyone
It seems like such a weird thing you have to hide so I know what they're where they're coming from
- Well, but you know what men have that women don't -What? - Jizz (Thank god for one thing)
It's also gross to discuss, and i don't talk about jizz so like where's our Fuckin Jizz Empowerment video?
- I mean, I grew up with one sister, but my sister was pretty good at
Kinda hiding that part of her. - I think I'm probably more
Embarrassed for him to see it than he's going to be?
- For sanitary reasons. She was asked to place it in a sealed bag. Guys it's not yeah, it's blood. It's blood!
like again guys
They're making it sound like because of the way society is she was asked to put her bloody pad in a bag
...no - Here we go.
- Enjoy! *giggles*
- All right...
-This is it? -That's it. That's a light day. -Oh, Oh, god! Oh my God. I'm just kidding come on...
um
Okay, I mean
Uh...
- You probably dissected worse -Well if you're already gonna show and make such a big deal out of it
Why show it on like the light, lightest day possible?
Ethan: Go big.
- Yeah
Let's get some real shit - Because that's even worse because it makes- some girls have it really bad like you can have a lot
They're gonna make those girls feel like it's not normal - Wow! They're hurting the movement. You're right
They gave this like dainty little last day period -Yeah
Like here's here's a little cute one not going to show you the really gross one
- I know some women have really heavy ones that can be like debilitating. I mean how bad does it get just for educational purposes - Umm...
You, I mean, you could fill that-- Ethan: That whole thing is filled. See, that would be fascinating, his
reaction would be way different and way more genuine and interesting than this cute little like *fake giggle* - I mean...
- Feminism is like
a McDonald's hamburger, I just like to package it up and sell it on Buzzfeed. I wanna see some real shit. I wanna see real conversation!
Yeah, let's see the blood flow boi
- I'm very relieved that Steve's handled it so maturely. - How do you feel about how I've handled this video so far, Hila?
- Very relieved that
You, you didn't like completely lose your shit when you saw that completely empty pad
- Thank you. - I'm very proud - The thing about Buzzfeed's approach to feminism is like. They're like the McDonald's of
feminism. Like there's nothing genuine left here
You don't need to show your bloody rags to your boyfriend to be empowered
You don't, it's okay to be grossed out by that, it's gross
It's a bodily function, all bodily functions are gross. The McDonald'sification like
Important big topics, and do this easy-to-consume.. - Buzzfeed is a fast food chain
- Of- Of content. Yeah, that's right
So they take something like feminism or important issues
And they just turn it into these stupid vapid empty things that really trivialize it and then it just turns out that
Makes everyone hate it and not take it seriously
Just a cheap, easily
manufactured, there's 38 versions of videos about periods
It's not even good for you just like fast food - Not good for you
- It's Bad! -The McDonald'sification! Quote me on that let it be known but on the other hand
They get so many views and I think that maybe there's something here for us to explore
Because on one hand. I just want views and money, and I don't really care about the consequence of the stuff I'm making
-You want a Carl's Jr.ification day. -Carl's Jr.ification. Hell yeah, I've got an idea, here
I have a real- I think it's gonna be fascinating, come with me. This is gonna be dope.
So I'm here today to show my wife what a pair of dirty soiled adult diapers look like.
So I've been shitting in my pants for about 15 years.
Yeah, I just I wear these diapers everywhere I go. I have a really bad diet and a lot of times
I can't make the effort to run to the bathroom and it's a lot easier and more convenient for me just to shit my pants
- I didn't know that was a thing
Do men usually do that?
- Some men do shit in their pants.
I didn't know men do that. That's pretty disturbing
Do you feel bad saying that you're disgusted? Don't you want to empower him?
No, I don't want to empower him to keep doing that and I think he should be ashamed
I don't think he should be using these things
It's for medical condition. - That's pretty racist. - I'm pretty disturbed actually knowing that Ethan was doing that
*#RACIST*
So usually I'll sit in my feces for a couple hours, and people will look around like, "Who farted?", you know.
But then they'll slowly realize that the smell isn't going away
And I think they just assumed that somebody there has a medical condition, and they don't want to be rude
But I don't I don't have any conditions at all
I just prefer to shit my pants than using the bathroom. After I take a shower,
I'll take the dirty diaper
and we live on a hillside, so usually I'll just chuck it off the balcony onto the hillside
And Hila hasn't found them so far, but there must be hundreds of them, out there.
It's always been engrained in me that it's something
I should be ashamed or embarrassed by, so I'm definitely pretty nervous to share this with Hila
Okay, so this is a pretty light day.
-Try not to freak out, okay? -What? -But this is who I am, so.. this is just your ..generally..
-Is this shit on your hands right now?
- Yeah, there's usually some sh... Like, it's hard to get it all in the bag, because it's pretty runny most days
-What's the point of the bag? I can.. It's outside of the bag, I can smell it right now.
- Not all of it, not all of it's outside of the bag. -Some of.. this is.. -It doesn't smell that bad.
- This is really gross. - No. No. - Just smell it, It's not that bad!
- This is really gross, Ethan. I don't know if I can be with you after this shit.
- Hila, it's just little shit in a bag...
- It's actually a lot of shit in the bag. - This is who I am, why are you being racist against me?
*Ethan Sigh™*
Can i go?...
