This guy is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.

I would say he is as thick as 2 short planks but that would be demeaning to short planks which can at least be useful.

Preemptive, I must have missed that ...if his girlfriend is 'non bleeding' theres probably something wrong with her, the both sound like absolutely clueless, a sad image of our Sex Ed in this country...

I couldn't get angry because the guy was an utter idiot !! He got ripped to shreds in the comments of the original post I saw.
Made himself look a right knob !

Perhaps she is actually male with complete androgen insensitivity. Proving once again that men are the better women.

Though it is more probable that she is just so much younger than this idiot that she doesn't menstruate yet. (Is it said in the article how old she is? I can't bring myself to read his stupidity first hand)

Anyone want to condemn death threats to a stupid kid who's said something a bit moronic?

Yes. Probably everyone who has posted on this thread. Stupidity combined with over confidence doesn't deserve death threats.

Vestal the girlfriend is also 19, and they have been together for 15 months, the article says.

Maybe she's underweight and suffering from amenorrhoea?

She doesn't look less than 7.5 stone though, maybe she's pregnant and the daft sod hasn't clicked on ! ....I shouldn't laugh really...

Just been reading it to my 11 year old dd and after laughing she asked why so many mra or meninsits when given a platform either complain about something that women have or want that don't impact on men on at all, like tampon tax, or blame women for things that do affect men more. She says MRAs and meninists don't come across as actually caring about where men might be losing out enough to suggest practical changes that could help them without either blaming women for the cause and/or taking the resources women have fought for away.

I was thinking his girlfriend may use contraceptives that stop periods? Esp if he's made her feel disgusting about them.

He doesn't understand what a comparison is either as he seems to think people should be comparing him to Zak Effron rather than trump! Hahahahahahahahaha

Fifa, please could you condemn the death threats made by men to women who post here (yes they have happened to some of us) before you contribute any further to this section, thank you. Until you do, I will assume you condone them, given the assumption you have made of those posting here.

"Cool. So what does the meninist movement stand for?

At the moment it’s just getting rid of the tampon tax."

Make your mind up!

Indeed. Even a 11 year old can see that MRAs care a lot more about hurting women than they do about helping men.

Is this your DD being a child genius, or a lot of adults being very stupid for their respective ages, and/or a case of the emperor having no clothes on?
Hmmm.

"Still puzzled. Why would I want to pee standing up?"

Squat toilets (and long walks). Yes, portaloos - and indeed many unisex toilet facilities.

It's probably apocryphal, but I did read one that when NASA was questioned in the 1960s about why it wasn't sending women to the Moon the answer was because they could not figure out how to design a toilet for them.

How do you store / wash the standing up wee thing whilst on the run?

I don't need such a device to pee standing up. What I do, however, need, is a device with which I can pee standing up without pulling down my trousers.
For travelling in areas where there's no trees or bushes or stuff, this sound like it'd be very practical.

I used to have something like a shewee - was called something else but the same principle. It came with a ziplock bag for storage and was in some way anti-bacterial or something, so you didn't have to clean it while on the go. I only used it once as I never quite trusted myself that it was in the right place. Great idea though.

On the subject of this thread, it is terrifying that boys (and even worse girls) should be so ignorant about basic anatomy. What are they teaching them in school? (DD is only 6 so we haven't got to this stage yet). I do agree that parents have a responsibility in this too but given the adult women described on here who don't know how it all works, you can see how misunderstandings arise.

Oh! I only just read the Mirror article. Everything is assumed was based on his original FB rent and the follow-up interview. I swear, I saw nothing that convinced me he had a real GF. Frankly, I'm still not convinced now.

To posters who think it's something medical, etc, I'm going to go Occam Razor. A PP somewhere theorised that she keeps her periods hidden from him. A diaphragm would do that. Or, even simpler: he's just too stupid to realise why she won't see him a few days a month.

Someone said the gf is no longer with him

Well, yes. That's rather boring, but the most likely, I admit.

So, perhaps someone should announce it on a men's forum:

If your girlfriend tells you she doesn't menstruate, she's lying! She just does it while you are away!

(There was this thread where people argued whether there are men who don't watch porn or whether all men who claim this are liars ... let's just say, men are physically completely capable of not watching porn. Women not menstruating is a lot less likely)

She could be on the pill, that could stop her periods, though most likely she's either lying or just avoiding him on certain days.

Love the fact he doesn't see why he needs educating on biology

Dear God, you mean people have tried to explain and he won't listen? What about diagrams?
Please let this guy turn out to be a professional troll or something.

I stalked his Facebook. He is very thick (and I doubt he has a girlfriend)

... or just avoiding him on certain days

Or, ya know, all days, if she's got two brain cells to rub together.

gestures madly< Oh, waitor! Yes, that saucer of cream is for me.

I'd be so embarrassed if he were my son.

It's quite easy to pee discreetly outdoors wearing a loose or full skirt. You have to squat rather than stand.

Says the Brits and Scots outdo Americans in this respect by "a country mile."

Does he not realise Scots are Brits too?

Oh yeah and that meninist guy is a twat.

Lass - but how many women do you see in the great outdoors nowadays so attired?
