Performative outrage

A marketing tactic where media actively looks for unintentional, out of context, or irrelevant things to be outraged over, usually through identity politics, to create a manufactured feeling of us vs them to keep the working class divided. Instead of fixing bigotry it exacerbates it. This tactic works on people who are bored, lack nuanced thinking, and are easily manipulated into tribalism.
"I'm sick of performative outrage. We all have more in common than we think! Now is the time for empathy and understanding, not division!"

period cramps

When it’s that time of the month for lady’s and you get cramps that feel like somebody is kicking you in the freakin stomach repeatedly and you don’t want to do anything because your in so much pain because Mother Nature decide to give women periods and not men and if even one man says “is it that time of the month again” you want to kick him repeatedly
I have period cramps so if I leave you unread that’s why

Period

1: a specified amount of time
2: a window of time that a woman experiences agony in their unchartered territory and can last long, usually noticed by blood stains because the vagina is leaking blood

3: ... a dot terminating the sentence
1: there's only a period of time before some strange thing happens
2: Why is there blood coming out of me? i did not cout myself... oh shit... my period... ... ... ...AUGHHHH!!!
3: WHY THE FUCK DO I NEED TO EXPLAIN THAT A PERIOD IS A SIMPLE DOT!?!
