If men had periods, tampon ads would be f*cking badass.

Manpax Stick 'em where ever you want, bro.

It's surprising that this sketch isn't actually written by a sketch comedy group, but by a non-profit called Water Aid. Water Aid works to bring clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education to places where those things are scarce. So, uhh, what's the connection? Well, they wanted to raise awareness about the fact that 1.25 billion women who do not have access to toilets during their periods.

If you've never had your period, you might not understand how awful that is. Considering who makes most of the political decisions still, imagining how the world would be different if men got their periods is a good exercise. Dudes wouldn't just be packing Manpax. They'd understand the urgency of these women's situations. Getting your period isn't for wimps.

1. If men had periods, 1.25 billion of them wouldn't have a toilet either

3. "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament"

Forgot who said that, back in the 70's.

4. Ok, I'm not really sure how that is relevent to the human crisis created by unsanitary conditions

Or it's apparently gender neutral impact on humanity.

6. I have said (well, not in a way anyone would notice) that if men got pregnant....

Not only would abortion be legal, it would be mandatory in some cases and the waiting rooms of the clinics would be cocktail lounges.

Mandatory, how? you might ask....


In some way, I'm sure. Men are dicks enough to women as it is. Imagine if they could be dicks to one another over abortion.

2. We'd never run out of manpons because we'd carry them on bandoliers

"What's that Fred, you're out? I'll lend you one. Sure sucks to hear that Tom Brady got knocked up again and will be out for the season."

5. Can you imagine all the PMS (penis menstration syndrom) related one-liners in action movies?

It helps if you imagine them in an Austrian Arnold impersonation voice.

8. "I got killer cramps and a 45. Make my day, punk!"

"Some day I'll be too old for this shit."

"Captain's on the pons. Stay frosty."

10. Companies would be mandated by law to..

Provide five days off of work, with pay, during manpon periods.
